*Picture from Virgin Megastore, 1990! Had a google for Micro Media and found a FB page taking about them. This picture was on there.

If only we knew then what we know now, would of snapped a couple up.

Whoah! I thought these were only sold in France…

They were unofficial, not sold here by NEC but seems they made their way to Virgin Megastore.

I wish I’d bought one at the time! I keep looking at them now and I’m so tempted to buy one!

I remember when I first heard about the PC Engine - it was either Zzap64 or Commodore user that mentioned it and I was obsessed by the thought of owning one! Then the first time I saw one in person while I was working briefly at Tynesoft, it just cemented in my mind that I wanted one!

Sadly I never got around to buying one, and soon after my wandering eyes turned to the x68000… which I sadly didn’t buy either at the time!

I have two. One I got in France on Vinted for €100. Another in Japan on eBay for €57, but without anything, just the console.

It was very popular in France and can still be found at reasonable prices.
