UK history

I have yet to decide where to put this (also conscious magref doesn't work on NEC Retro but whatever):

Japan launch in October 1987, but UK developers were not given access to units until after launch and were made to sign non-disclosure agreementsTemplate:Magref. Japanese demand outstripped supply - UK launch unlikely in the near future.

Rare Ltd. took delivery of one in December 1987, after six months still preferred the NESTemplate:Magref

Ocean also had one - "it's nice"Template:Magref so did GO! (U.S. Gold publishing label)

Stock Computers, Elford Street, Ashby de lad Zouch, Leicestershire LE6 5JU - "the place to keep your eye on"Template:Magref

September/October 1988: NEC "haven't decided whether the PC Engine should ever be released outside of the Japanese market". Definitely not happening in 1988Template:Magref
