Richard Gibbs PCE Guide (pdf)
« on: October 23, 2009, 01:00:07 AM »
The Complete PC Engine Guide (Richard Gibbs, 1993) - pdf download  :D

a few of us spoke about this back in April. HardcoreOtaku was remembering the early 90's London scene with computer exchange on Whitfield Street, Shekana, etc... and I was making promises about scanning the old richard gibbs guide which I have threatened to do here a few times before but never get around to.

well i just finished a big work project yesterday and I'm not really into starting something new until next week so i spent the last hour or so scanning the whole book. I'll make it up as a pdf over the weekend (later today maybe) and get it out to all you guys.

If I upload it and post it here will some of you guys help get it circulated to other heads that might want it? I could do without taking a big hit on server traffic so it would be better if people could grab it and upload it with rapidshare accounts etc, rather than just reposting the link elsewhere.

Anyway, less talk... more pdf making

soooooooooon................. 

ps. Mr Gibbs if you're out there, I hope you see this as a tribute to your legacy and not the blatant act of piracy that it is  :pray:

It'd be great if somebody else can mirror this as well, as mediafire sucks sometimes.

I never read this mag back in the day, but I'm swimming in nostalgia nonetheless. Thanks so much for uploading it!

pure nostalia!!! Cheers LMS, haven't looked through this for about 10 years +++, a few years ago I went dig to out and dust off my copy then I realized I had accidentilly binned it, it was stored away in a box of stuff that I had meant to keep which had loads of other goodies in there too that I lost, it was box of random stuff which also included loads of PC-engine CD spine cards, reg cards and game maps, dohh!!!  :x   :cry:

anyways interesting reading the Fanzine again, I did a few PC-Engine game trades with Richard Gibbs around the time he wrote it, I remember questioning why his meager 6 out of 10 score for Motoroader II and then being suprised when he said to me that he hadn't actually played all the games he had reviewed in the Fanzine.  :shock:

Rock on LMS!

I remember you fellows talking about this PCE guide not too long ago :) . I was eager to check out the full guide.

I have a request: If you have any memories of this guide, or just PCE gaming back in the UK, back in the day, post them here. We can take the old thread + any info here and I'll throw a page up on tg-16.com, because this should be documented.

I'm going to make "stub" (to use the wikipedia parlance) and throw it up later this evening. Any links to reminiscences on other forums that might be worthy of quoting would be nice, too.
