PC Engine's 25th birthday party in Paris
« on: September 21, 2012, 09:40:04 PM »
Hey guies, just in case some of you were in Paris on that day :



For those who don't know Paris, the bar where this party will take place is in the Saint-Michel area, one of the coolest spots in Paris.

It's apparently at some restaurant and they'll have a bomberman tournament with prizes and maybe all the music will be PCE music as well as PCE playing stations.

That's it ;)
It's not exactly a restaurant but a bar.

Did Hudson sponsor the event and attend, selling their 25th anniversary reprints of Sapphire, Space Fantasy Zone and Rockman?

My French sucks, but this is what I read:

-background music is all PC Engine music
-drinks are available
-4 PC Engine units set-up
-there is a tournament for Bomberman '94 and lots of of prizes

I just learned that in France, the PC-Engine is a she.  :idea:

(Even though separately, a "PC" and an "engin(e)" are masculine...  :?: )

For that question, you'd rather look at Germany.

I just learned that in France, the PC-Engine is a she.  :idea:

In french a video game system is called "console", which is a feminine word.

Sounds fun, take some pics!

I will ;)

yeah, but it is also commonly used for video games incl. the systems they play on ;)

but I know, it's the similar case in German.

Die Console (F), das Videospiel (N)

but the funny part, we say like "Die PC Engine" but, "Das Mega Drive / Super Famicom/Nes".

so yeah, the PCE must obviously be a female :)

Because it is pppppppppppppppppppcccccccccccceeeeeeeeeee engine

Try saying it with an acent sometime, and you will get it.

Why do you think it has slot facing you, instead of a floppy sticking up?

What is even better is the game system is sooo tight, hard, small, creamy dreamy PCE, tiggggggghhhhhttttttt........aahh, PCcccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeee,
and is so kawaaaaiiii, as well.

PC Engine is male, but MD and NES/SNES is neuter? By the Hammer or Thor, why???

We miss you on chat, by the way. Come back!!!!!!! Also, do you have the American silliness known as the Turbografx-16?

The Neo-geo is a man. The PCE is a Geisha.
