Title: Mr. Helgeson: Veigues was reminscent of... ?
Post by: esteban on 08/09/2007, 07:44 PM
This is a question for everyone, but Mr. Helgeson specifically:

I remember you compared Veigues Tactical Gladiator to another game... or, to be more precise, you alluded that it might have been a direct port / adaption / rip-off of some other game. So, what was the name of this game?

I am too lazy to search through the threads (especially because the search function is severely wonky!). If I remembered the thread, I'd be fine (I'd find it myself), but I can't remember the context in which Veigues came up.

Thanks in advance :)

Veigues Tactical Gladiator was a port from the Japanese PC-8801 game, seen here: http://www.gamearts.co.jp/history/main/pc_vei.html

Another page compares Veigues to another game, Rogus.  http://www.geocities.jp/rip_gamer/rogus/rog_top.html

Awesome, those pages you linked to were great, especially the one on Rogus! Rogus has piqued my interest...

Ha! Apparently. You know what I'll do: I'll simply ask him on the next thread he participates in.

I remember the end of the game was a bit of a cliffhanger for a sequel but nothing ever came about.
