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

If he was slightly close, would that means it's Gai Flame?

No, I meant at the top of this page.

Alright, we're a day away from a entire month on this brain teaser.  Give us another hint already!

I'm suprised this topic hasn't died.

OK, some hints... it's a HuCard game.  It's a character license.

People like ccovell and sunteam_paul will prevent these threads from ever dying.

I like this topic, but I suck at solving 'em.  I even have a few lined up for whenever I finally figure one out (or someone takes pity on a retard and relinquishes their turn).

Two more guesses:

Skweek - squeaky from the rust
Hani on the Road - they're both rounded off turds

I'm sure that they're both wrong, since I don't think that either of them are licensed characters.  Unfortunately, the only licensed games that I can think of don't make any sense.

Apparently some people here have missed the concept of licensed characters.  ie: from movies, anime, manga.

Unless I am mistaken, that screenshot is from the PCE version of Volfiev.

Agreed.  None of the licensed HuCard titles that come to mind of make any sense.  Doraemon, Darkwing Duck, Talespin, Batman, Knight Rider, Die Hard, Alice in Wonderdream..... shit, what else was licensed?

OK, the answer is Dodge Danpei.  First person to explain why from the pic gets to go next.

Well, we can all probably figure out the Dodge reference.  As for Danpei... hmmmm.  Dan Pie?  A pie made out of Dan?  Doesn't make sense.

Unless you were going for "damp" with "danp".  I don't get the Canadian reference.

EDIT:  Why would the Japanese license Dodge?  That's insane!

Turbo D

Apparently its a sports/dodgeball game based off of some anime. The official name is Honoo No Toukyuuji Dodge Danpei. The game was published and distributed by Hudson in 1992.

Danpei translates to Dampier, right?  PCECP has the name as Honou No Toukyuu-ji Dozzi Danpei, so I wasn't going to find the Dodge reference there (nor have I heard of the anime).

It was a hint, I was being cheeky, that's all.  And Spenoza got it!

The kanji are very common - if you own a PCEngine game, you've probably seen them.
