The European Computer Entertainment Show 1991. Neither Sega nor Nintendo appeared at this event in an official capacity, however many console games were still shown.

EMAP, organisers of the event and owners of numerous video game and computing magazines (the most notable being Computer & Video Games) had problems with this year's ECES, with the number of exhibitors falling far short of expectations. Two weeks before the event opened, the company banned the general public from attending[1], despite having advertised the show in the preceeding months and even running competitions for tickets. This led to it becoming a press-only event with very few attendees.

As a result of this decision, EMAP chose not to draw attention to ECES (ACE, for example, dropped its planned coverage), and given that the publishers' competitors were already ignoring the event for obvious reasons, only foriegn media outlets covered the show. EMAP even chose to advertise the event as "cancelled" to deter guests, even though the event still ran.

Many of the 45 developers and publishers which attended were unimpressed with EMAP after the show, and consequently no ECES 1992 was hosted. Rumours of a replacement event for as early as November were circled, however most likely the gap was filled by changes to the annual European Computer Trade Show, which coincidentally became a bi-annual event during 1992 (ECTS Autumn 1992 occurring in early September, the same period in the year previously occupied by ECES).
