Yeah I still got all 4 volumes of the Complete Guide to Consoles. They had loads of PC Engine coverage in them, maybe more PCE than any other console?? Very nice, I need to get the red and dark blue one. Heh yeah it did seem to have its fair share of PCE coverage didn’t it. Late 80’s early 90’s CVG were great, especially to a young boy who was obsessed with arcades and consoles. I haven't checked the prices recently but at one point a few years back the Complete Guide to Consoles books started to get really pricey when they came up for auction on eBay. They also did a Sega Megadrive Complete Guide which I've got and also a Sega Mastersystem one. I have had absolute an nightmare time trying to get a working scanner otherwise I'd scan them, and those Electric Brain fanzines..

Old scan from when I had a working scanner. Below Solder Blade review scans are from GO!, which was a small handheld games magazine that came inside CVG magazine.

Heh thats amazing, thanks for that Not sure about the comments in the Soldier blade review though ‘Not as good graphics or sound as Gunhed’?? Hmmm. Wow, those Telegames prices are pretty insane, Galaga 88’ £49.99?? I remember seeing that in an old PC Engine supplies advert for £32 years before that advert. Interesting stuff

Interesting stuff I think that Telegames price list is from the late nineties, if you requested one they'd send it to you through the post. I'd just slid that price list inside an old CVG and had forgotten about it until years later I went to photograph those pages above and found it.

Does anyone have a scan of or know the issue of Games-X magazine where they featured Console Concepts as part of their 'Street Talk' series? Would dearly love to see that again. I've never read Games-X, I've seen it about. Is it a good mag, should I check it out?
