The PC Engine is a gloriously compact little machine, and its abilities could so easily be dismissed for being "just an 8bit machine", but it offers so much. I'm keen to get this repaired so that I can explore the exotic library of games for it and get better aquanted with a system that was never on sale in the UK. We had the TurboGrafx later.
