Hadn't seen anyone talking about this yet, maybe I missed it?

It's got every official PCE game ordered by format and date, some pages for peripherals, etc. Nothing you haven't seen before, but it's cute and nice to have!! It's also real cheap from amazon japan!! get it!

Oh, that's Brandon, very early public PC Engine fan - he was one of the first to promote my Xak III translation project on his old insertcredit.com website pfft ~16-17 years ago (site's still around, but quite different).

As for the guide, can't really care given its all-Japanese status.

Six images, six games, the last number on the top right of the page is six...  buying this book supports the sign of the beast!

Hey, I wonder if there's any homebrew in it, even if just a passive mention. The japanese doesn't seem that big on PCE homebrews.

My guide came in yesterday and it's awesome. Thanks again for the heads up.

Who ever heard of anti-Japanese PC Engine fans? Download the Google Translate app and get over yourselves. In my day you had to walk 10 miles uphill both ways through waist deep snow to just find out a game existed in Japan. Kids these days I tell you. ;)

I'm not anti-japanese, but neither do I feel the need to spend $30+ on a book I can't read.  It's got lots of nice pictures, sure, but I own many of the games anyway or am familiar with 'em through the internet.

In other words: it's a cool book but I'm a cheap fᴜcker.

Yeah, I'd agree that there really is a market for a US language version as well, it should obviously include the TG16/CD/Duo stuff though and notes as well.

It's $26.99 on PlayAsia, plus whatever they charge for shipping.  Maybe that'll be better for ya, toaks.

The book looks cool (there's even a blurb on the PCE-LD1), but so many moon runes.  I'm not keen on spending my pennies on a picture book.
Thanks Necro! I’ll definitely consider it now!
