This is the book Shirei. Pretty neat little book, and I'm glad my wife was like "why don't you use google translate on it?"...which literally never occurred to me. I'm a quick one.
There are some other neat pages in it, one on a Tokimeki Memorial "Premium Pack", and one on a Virgin Dream "Special Pack", which were some kind of special editions. There is also a page on games that came with gear, which includes Forgotten Worlds (controller), Mahjong Academy (VHS), Pacho Kun (pachinko controller) and one I was unaware of "SANGOKUSHI EIKETSU TENKA NI NOZOMU" which came with a really nice little leather note book. After learning about it I found one with the book cheap on ebay and said screw it. I want that tat.
Oddly that page did NOT included the 3x3 Eyes that comes with the VHS tape. So clearly the book is missing stuff here and there. Though I can't really trust the translations, it SEEMS written in an unformal style with the author reporting sometimes on rumors (mentions a few things they claim to have never actually seen).
The learning software was actually really cool to discover. It also pointed me toward a few comics I was able to find that came with PC-E discs.
Cool, thanks! I actually own that book lol. Only skimmed though it when I got it, but I'll take a closer look now. There were a few PCE books that came out in the last year or so. The first couple I saw were basically a list of all the hardware and software. Was hoping there would be more promotional, development, prototype type stuff, but I guess there's not much information out there.
Odd that 3x3 Eyes wasn't mentioned. Always wondered if that game or even Forgotten Worlds was released individually. Seems that both were only released as part of a larger package.
