PCE 30 Years Book (CANCELLED)
« on: October 30, 2015, 10:16:34 PM »

In 2017, the PC Engine will be 30 years old. To celebrate this event, I hope to gather stories, photos and memories of the PC Engine and/or TurboGrafx-16 from the community and compile them into a free book that anyone can view online or download and print.

This book will be a community project, written by us, for us.

I'm looking for virtually anything you have to say about the PC Engine, which can include:
When you first saw a PCE/TG.
General memories, events (serious, funny, happy or sad) concerning the PCE/TG.
Stories about the PCE/TG (real or fictional is OK!)
PCE/TG related artwork you want to share.
Photos of you, your setup, you playing, or just being silly with your PCE/TG.
Anything else PCE/TG related that you can think of!

You can send any content or enquiries to me at paul[at]pcengine.co.uk or message me on the forums here (If you have large/many images then I suggest using a service such as wetransfer.com)

If you are contributing, when you send information, please let me know the name or handle which you would like to be credited as and a photo of you (or something to represent yourself) that I can use as an avatar of sorts with your comments.

LET'S MAKE THIS AN EPIC BOOK WORTHY OF THE PCE!

LOL.  Man Bernie, it's never going away.  This is awesome paul.  Now do you have a Tatsujin to english translator if he is going to add anything?  Probably not though.  FB has sucked the life out of him.

Will definitely be sending something about the repair threads and walkthroughs, and the Folklore that the community has created, through memes, modifications, raffles, chat, etc.

I can either do an academic analysis of these things, or make it totally informal. Maybe a bit of both.

Anything and everything is good. A lot of the book would be informal, almost like a collection of forum posts showing a range of opinions and experiences, so anything deeper would also provide a welcome variety.

Off topic but this is the kind of thing I would be interested in. I could easily translate from French to English. Where can I find a pdf or physical version of this book?

Oh god. When I first saw this post I got so excited and piddled. I'd like to contribute in a number of ways. Mainly with artwork though and a story perhaps.  :D
