I really should have bought this back then I remember seeing it for sale in Raven games.. I wonder if they still have original copies for sale there...

Anyway thanks for the link

Holy sh*t this is awesome! Never saw it the first time round but it captures that time and place perfectly.

Gosh, I remember Computer Exchange on Whitfield Street - they had a huge amount of PC Engine HuCards and Super CD Roms. I might start a 'CEX reminiscence and good buys' thread.

Anyway top work LMS, you're a STAR.

Reading through this excellent old fanzine, Richard doesn't award a single 10/10. Was he close? He seemed to be on the edge with Parasol Stars, Air Zonk and YsI+II.
The cheats section is fantastic. I'll give goddam cloud master something to think about when I get home..

What ever happened to 'Richard Gibbs'?  Where is he now?  Probably having a pint with Onn Lee, Nicky Lee and Tony Takoushi somewhere.

I tried to find/contact Richard Gibbs and Onn Lee a few years ago as I was (still am) trying to find printed copies of their Fanzines,
Couldn't find Richard Gibbs, but tracked down Onn Lee he had some website with his comic strips on.
Had a few brief messages and asked if by any chance he had any old copies of his Fanzines he would like to sell but he never responded.

Actually just remembered there's this thread here you responded to:

I love this whole era of the late 80s, early 90s grey import gaming in the UK, in fact my whole/only interest in video games revolves around revisiting this time, sticking on an old PC-Engine game just takes me back.......

Nice video man. Seeing the white saturn and layer section running on a sideways monitor brings back memories of your old place 

[sunteam_paul]

At the time the only 2 games that no importer in the UK ever imported were PC Denjin and Super Star Parody.  It got to the point where me and my friends were convinced that they were never released. 

That's not quite true, I got my copy of Star Parodier with no problem, probably not long after release. SO they did import it, but perhaps it was just hard to track down (I remember Splatterhouse was also difficult to get hold of at one point).

[Otaking]

Star Parodier was very uncommon in the UK, personally I never saw a copy for sale (actually in stock) for years after its release,
very vague memory but pretty sure I got my first copy from a friend who was from HongKong.
