10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

So, this came up over on Racketboy, and I didn't have a good answer, though I did have a couple corrections for the poster's partial list. Some Turbo CD games came in boxes and others did not. Which games didn't come in boxes, just in a jewel cast, and which did have an external box?

Exile: Wicked Phenomenon was a SCD and it had a box. Had a gold banner across the top and a raised/bumpy cover.

No, it and Vasteel only have a cardboard sleeve like SuperGrafx games.

All other CD2 games except Buster Bros and Splash Lake and fake SCD games came with a cardboard box.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I am sure we have a thread that explains this...

...but finding it would have been more effort than it was worth.

SPENOZA...the shift to to NO BOXES for CD games coincided with TTi's related cost-saving feature: NO JEWEL BOXES for HuCARD games (just plastic tray).

Thanks for the reminder, BT. Exile WP had a sleeve instead of a box.

I can confirm Vasteel US had only the cover, mostly black with shiny foil color and raised lettering. I used to have it until some rat decided to piss on it last year  :(

Isn't Terraforming a CD-2 and not an SCD?

Yep.  It and Sherlock 2 are the fake SCDs, branded as SCD but only CDs at heart.
