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

Super necro-bump [kind of fitting, given the game]

I don't have a great score to post.

Just normal mode - 291,600

The main reason I bumped it was because I never really played this game for score. But after seeing some people milk the embryos for score it got me interested. I also once accidentally died after beating the final boss due to a falling stone - doubling the score for beating him. It seemed there were tons of fun ways to exploit the score of this game I never considered.

Tenshi No Uta II + Sierra Nevada's Trip in the Woods

Sidenote: Riot does not mess around when it comes to cutscenes. I am also finding this game to be pretty ahead of it's time in terms of soundtrack. Using Brothers Duomazov's guide. The beer was good, lot's of coconut and vanilla. Paired nicely ;)

I've been in a mahjong mood lately and have been trying to go through and actually finish some of the more long-winded titles.

I feel like I put about 15+ hours [maybe more] into this one and just finished it last night:

SEISENSHI DENSHŌ - JANTAKU NO KISHI
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/turbocd/563785-seisenshi-denshou-jantaku-no-kishi
Seisenshi-Denshou-case.webp

The story seemed to have some decent tongue-in-cheek moments from what I could gather. I felt like it was worth talking about due to the ability to switch characters and use special powers/spells in the middle of a match. Typically, in these games, you buy a power up beforehand and it is activated at the beginning of a round or under some condition around the end of a round. Just hit select during a round and you can switch through all the available characters you have in your party. Some have spells that work in-match and others you have to use beforehand. Puts a cool spin on things.

The graphics were really nice and crispy. It had a bit of a low budget feel which I have found most Nichibutsu mahjong titles have - even in the arcade.

It's def worth a playthrough if you are into mahjong at all. It's actually pretty damn easy as far as mahjong games go.

Gonna' go through the first Jantei Monogatari next. I loved 2 [both chapters] and 3 [they might be my fave mahjong titles on the PCE], but the first one is completely different.

Any other mahjong fans out there?

Worth mentioning, it also comes with a 3rd party AC adapter. Also a very slight scuff to left of the d-pad (did my best to take a pic)

Would also take a US Duo ;)

Here comes the giant pics!

it's horrifyingly easy to manipulate this "market" I think.

1 friend and the price of ebay fees and you can essentially fuck any ebay "value" of any game you want. Make back those fees and THEN SOME on the subsequent reselling.

I'm all for hazing where hazing is due. I've been on touchy-feely forums before and after a year or so, you get a shitty forum. NG.com on the other hand, is just...well, it's it's own beast. I wonder what would happen if I strolled over to BenHeck forums and asked how to backlight a gameboy color what would happen?

Say stupid things, gets hazed.

I bought this on release when I was in high school. My memory is foggy but I am 90% sure I finished the game back then. But after reading the article on HG101, I doubt it. [I've drank since then, hence the fog] I recently played through the original Exile and had an amazing time. So, naturally I decided to keep the ball rolling and dive right into E2.

What I was greeted with was an immensely difficult, frustrating game that honestly felt like a step backwards. What gives?!

No maps, you have to track through the sidescroll levels to travel between cities. [if it ain't broke?], also noticed that it seems 1 in 3 healing tonics actually poison me. "that tonic tasted funny"

More than one [so far] of Working Designs topical jokes thrown in for no damn reason.

WHAT HAPPENED?!

Is the Japanese version easier? Did WD actually mess with the game code and change up the game? Is there a story behind this game's localization?

update: I read the HG101 article on this game I just found that answers all:

Quote from: "stevek666"I think dj898 made a case (or, rather, re-purposed an existing case) for HuCards. I think he posted a pic here.

I've never looked, but I'm sure you can find something that will work. For example, try searching for a small case that holds business cards...

Once you find a case that is the right size, you can modify baseball card products to suit your purposes. You can cut an 8 1/2" x 11" page into a strip or two. Each strip will hold 4 HuCards. Then you can fold the strips (accordian style) and stuff them into the case. No, this won't be the sexiest looking case...

I'm sure other folks can offer even better ideas :)


You can buy 4 sportcard pages and binders. This is how I store all my HuCards.

I use those for my loose hucards as well they fit like a glove  8)

oh man, Tron....the new avatar kicks so much ass

I think it would be great if there was a thread with links to all known English translation patches.

I know of these:
