12/23/2024: Localization News - Team Innocent

PC-FX Localization for Team Innocent is released, a pre-Christmas gift!! In a twist, it feels like the NEC PC-FX got more attention in 2024 than any other time I can remember! Caveat: The localizers consider the "v0.9" patch a BETA as it still faces technical hurdles to eventually subtitle the FMV scenes, but they consider it very much playable.

Some pics are up and I'll put the rest up tomorrow. For those people asking me about the XE-1PRO FC and XE-1ST2 I'm only interested in trades for now. I'll trade for MSX games and hardware, XAV-2s...
#202
Sold items removed and added a bunch of random stuff. Prices lowered too.

Pictures will be added tonight.

QuoteWhat good games are on this console?
I know most of the arcade ports. Mahou Daisakusen, Kyukyoku Tiger, Samurai Spirits, Operation Wolf, Outrun Turbo, Viewpoint. My fav is Image Fight and Tatsujin II. Mahou Daisakusen would be first on my list but it's no compatible with the Marty. You can also find a bunch of falcom RPGs, enhanced scumm games, and plenty of Amiga ports too.

Quote from: esteban on 06/28/2008, 08:19 AMHey Smrifnack, there used to be a few of FM-Marty folks at the forums over here. What stinks is that the forum has changed several times over the years and I think we lost a lot (all) of the old threads (they had a lot of good info in them). I could be wrong, but I was trying to find some old stuff and it was no longer there.

I too, think the Marty is worth it for a handful of games. :)

How is the music in Splatterhouse? Any chance you could record it for us (I don't mind an analog recording)?

I feel like I've asked someone to do this before... rolins, was it you?

:)
Yeah, I did post some recordings of the Splatterhouse's cd audio a while back but the links are expired now. I can't retrieve them anymore. :(
If you played through the arcade and then the FMT port you'll notice small differences in the music. I have a hard time explaining it but in some ways the FMT's music sounded more clearer and more upbeat but still doesn't beat the arcade though. The boss theme in the church was my absolute favorite.

The Marty is a sweet console. I wish I had the money to get one, saint nick knows it been on my xmas list like forever.

Yeah, there are plenty of hentai games but I don't remember playing them much. Two pops into mind though, one was Viper V10 and the other (i can't remember the name) actually is a porn diary game with live actors but its censored. I'll check my backups and see if I can find of that name.

Quote from: ceti alpha on 06/25/2008, 08:52 AMRolins, that sucks about your parents getting sucked into the US real estate collapse. :( But it seems like your parents made out better than some. And enjoy the financial security of living at home and save some coin. Lots of my friends have done that - I've done that. lol. That's what parents are for. :D
Quote from: esteban on 06/25/2008, 10:56 PMDude, that is crappy. I hope everything works out for you guys. All of my friends have been trying to live more frugally, for various reasons... thankfully (?) I've been able to stick to a very modest budget for the last year. One of these days I'm going to splurge and buy an mp3 player, dammit.
Thanks guys. Yeah, I plan to take it easy for a bit and watch my coffer get fatter. Though I better find a job soon, I can only mooch off my parents for so long. I'm praying for the day I'll move back to Cali. I seriously don't like it here in Vegas, people here give you more attitude than Angelenos.

Quote from: esteban on 06/25/2008, 10:56 PMYeah, now that I'm back on the east coast, I am able to visit my parents all the time and NOTHING has really changed with them. It really feels like a time-warp... back to the old days :). They are still using an ancient bottle of aspirin that expired in 1991 (I think it was a bottle that I left at their house). With each passing year, my dad uses a handful of Q-tips, thereby ensuring that I will inherit them (he bought a carton of 250 Q-tips at some point in the 80's). I opened up a jar of "OxyPads" a month or two ago... I swear I bought them when I was in middle school / high school, which was well over 15 years ago.

Why do my parents still have all of "my" old stuff?   

Of course, my dad has his old Brill Cream from the 50's or 60's lying around somewhere, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
I can relate. My dad is a mild pack-rat. He doesn't want to throw anything way even if something is partially broken. The object would have to be shattered into tiny pieces for my dad to consider it thrash. If you were to see our garage we have boxes full of broken kitchen appliances, old knick knacks, TVs, chandeliers, fans, chairs, picture frames, candle holders, etc. The crap just keeps building every year. Not much I can do since he gets angry everytime I suggest downsizing his crap. I even mentioned donating the partially broken TVs and furniture to goodwill for the tax write off. After so many arguments, I gave up and let him do what he wants. My dad keeps saying he's storing it all for me when I branch out and have a family of my own. Gee, thanks dad... ](*,)

Quote from: esteban on 06/25/2008, 10:56 PMSadly, I've been playing most of my games on my friggin' cell phone. Neo Gradius and Might & Magic have provided some long-term enjoyment, despite the crappy buttons, controls. Yeah, I've sunk to a new low.

As for old DOS games, I recently revisited BLOCKOUT... I friggin love that game. I thought I'd quickly get sick of it (I overplayed it back in the day), but I didn't get sick of it...

Which reminds me, I've been wanting to check out Betrayal at Krondor (DOS) for a few months now, simply because I was curious about thisunreleased TG-16 game. I don't know anything about the author, or Riftwar, so I thought it might be a fun place to start.
Neo Gradius? I wish I can get that on my phone but it's too low end. It gets crappy games and I crave shmups. Galaga and asteriods doesn't really help much to fill the void. :(

I also checked out Betrayal at Krondor. I got interested after watching a vblog of Spoonyone, he mentioned it was great RPG so I gave it a shot. I'll say off the bat that this game is not my cup of tea. I could never get used to RPGs in first-person view.

Hey Esteban (Steve666) :)
Been a while since I've seen you around here, but same goes for me too. I've just been busy.

Constantly on the move. I'm getting pretty damn exhausted packing up and hauling heavy furniture. I could really use a back massage especially around the neck, but no money for that now. By the end of this month it will be the second time I've moved within 3 months. From my small apartment in Northridge, CA to my parents house in Las Vegas, NV and eventually to another apartment (in the same city). I don't feel ashamed to live with my parents again. I'm actually glad because I can finally relax and feel financially secure for a while. The whole point about moving back was because I wasn't making enough money to stay in California. My parents are very cool that I'm back though. It's been about 6 years and nothing hasn't really change, although my parents definitely has been visiting the casino buffets a little too often. It's so good to have home cooked meals again something that fast food and top ramen can't imitate.

Bad news though, my parents filed for bankruptcy and they'll be losing their house like millions of other Americans. Bastard Countrywide. :evil: This is why I'm moving again to another apartment. I'm rather pissed that this has happened to us especially since my parents had good credit for 15 years. Well at least my parents get to keep the majority of their money, and we'll be saving more money living in an apartment. So I guess I'll be alright, I'm gonna miss the fancy kitchen.

I still make time to play some video games whenever I can. Lately I've gone back to playing a bunch of DOS games and bought a $12 laptop for my dedicated dos machine.

I used form a row blisters on my fingers whenever I play Big Foot on the NES. During the side-scrolling races you had to move the d-pad left to right as fast as you can. The only way I could win was to rub my finger across the d-pad. I remember being in agony each time play the game at my friends house. Good times.
#208
Not really, mainly because my gaming interests are sometimes too retro and obscure. I love talking about the MSX, FM-Towns, PC-8801, Saturn, Nes, Toaplan, T&E Soft, Compile. But I'm terrible when the topics are about newer games & consoles which most guys on my block are into. I often feel like clueless one of the group. It's not like I can afford a xbox360, I probably could but I'm too stubborn to try something new.

Quote from: 16-bit on 06/18/2008, 11:19 PMI'll agree my price is high but it is also the best condition one I have ever received.  It has probably never been used. 

I'm often willing to negotiate on prices especially if it is outside of ebay.
Hell ya the price is unreasonable. In the past 2 years, I purchased two joysticks the XE-1PRO ST2 and FC model. I paid in range of $40 - 47 and they were both minty and complete. Even on YHJ they're still being sold for that much.The condition of your joystick at most is worth $50, but for $99.95 you seem to expect the buyer to pay for all fees that it took to import it. Not to mention to add $15 to domestic shipping. I can't understand why $15 for USPS priority, while you could do better with USPS Priority flat rate for $9.80 and the boxes are free.

QuoteEMS shipping on a boxed joystick to america is going to run 4000 yen which is going to put the shipping cost at $40.
$40 for EMS is kinda high if your importing just one of these sticks. They weigh a little over a pound and normally whenever I purchased one straight from Japan, I was only charged $30 for EMS. Perhaps the person sending these to you is cheating you out of the S&H. Though I get it if your paying extra fees if your going through some middle man.

QuoteAlso Rollins, $25 for an XHE-3?!?!  :ouch:  If anyone else is looking for one, Ive got a mint boxed one for $15 shipped priority mail.
Well when I purchased it I paid $25, but I had no idea they've gone down in worth. Still I don't think I charged overly high. Though I'm also willing to negotiate on some prices, but the buyer of this never complained.
#210
Nectarsis if your aching to get one, try contacting DreamStarsJapan on ebay and request one. Whenever he has one in stock, he'll usually charge $45 which is the average price these days. Even with the EMS the total cost will be significantly cheaper than what 16-bit is offering, and he's domestic.
#211
$45? I'd say $65 is pushing it.

A couple months ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite 4005CDS for mere 12 Bucks! It's got a PentiumII 233mhz, 96MB RAM, 4GB hdd, Yamaha OPL3-SA3, floppy, 20x cdrom, 12.1" dual scan, usb port. No windoze on this puppy, my other PC gots that covered. No, I decided this will be a dedicated DOS gaming machine.

Its been very long time since I used dos, so I forgotten how to edit the config.sys and autoexec.bat. I don't know how many times I re-edited those files but I did it so much I ended up re-teaching myself DOS in the process. I remember setting up the sound drivers in dos has always been a hassle. Even trying to find a way to free up enough conventional memory for games to run was sometimes a pain too. But this time around it took me less time to do it. Mmm...nostalgia. It all coming back to me :)

Probably the only bad about this laptop is the LCD, its dual scan. Very blurry and colors are washed out especially when something is in motion, but its got VGA out so it all good on a CRT. Even cooler this laptop looks like a console all time because you don't even have to flip up the screen up to press the power button. The switch is actually on its side. It can stay close forever.

Zeliard - greatest adventure game I've ever played in 2008 hands down. What I love most is the Adlib music. It really sounds better than the original on the NEC PC-8801. I can't believe I missed out on this game. Def on the look out for the original package with 5.25 floppies even though I don't own a 5.25 disk drive. :p

Turrican - game's so picky on the memory requirements that I can't load sneskey. I'm forced to play on the keyboard because of this. I seriously need to get a joystick for the gameport. Glad the music is awesome.

Sorcerian - played the MSX2 port alot and I decided to pick this one up. It's okay but I wish I had a Roland MT-32 because the Adlib music just sound meh...

Doom - classic fps greatness.

Psychic Detective - This one tricked out FMV, its a total mind trip. Dialogue is really good and theres alot of replay value, 10 endings in total. A must play, really its that good.

Night Trap - it's the directors cut this time, same stuff you'd expect from the SegaCD. Quality ain't near the 3DO though.

Flash Traffic: City of Angels - I saw the trailer on youtube, and it looked interesting. Nuclear bomb in Los Angeles and its up to two FBI agents to disarm the bomb and bring the culprits to justice. Very cheesy. Too bad I can't play the mpeg version without a decoder card.
#214

I was thinking the same thing. The ability to make duplicates of myself like Multiple Man.

Imagine the possibilities:

1) I can learn everything I want to know in a day by letting my dupes do the work, and just absorb them for the knowledge & experience.
2) Have my dupes play all the games I'd never had time for.
3) Gangbang  :wink:

Quote from: CkRtech on 03/30/2008, 11:22 PMruninruder - Excellent pull! Man....I am tempted to just start my own Compile website. You might say I am tempted to compile a Compile website. .....wow. That was terrible. In any case - there should be a better "go to" resource for Compile. I pretty much have to just jump around to get my information (though Hardcore Gaming 101's write-up is useful).
Hardcore Gaming 101 is a good source on Compile game, but it has 2 bits that needs editing. I've been trying to contact the maintainer of the site but obviously doesn't like checking email.

1.)
QuoteTo take advantage of the superior power of the MSX2, Compile released Zanac EX, a remake of the original. For all intents and purposes, it's almost exactly the same as the NES game, although the graphics are a bit different.
Zanac EX is not a remake. It's a direct squeal to the original MSX1 version. Same applies to the Zanac on the FC/Nes since it's essentially the same as Zanac EX.

2.) 
QuoteLike many Compile titles, Golvellius originated on the MSX. The structure is somewhat similar to the Sega Master game, but the level layout is entirely different. The biggest annoyance is that, when you get hit, Kelesis will freeze in his spot, vulnerable to further enemy attacks - most of the time you end up dying from a single enemy encounter. Somewhat lame.
Moron didn't even bother to actually play the game. Otherwise, he would know that until you pickup the Zest Boots you'll always freeze when an enemy hits you.
#222
Quote from: CkRtech on 03/30/2008, 10:48 PMInteresting to note that Sylphia - a game I didn't pursue due to the lack of information out there for it compared to say...Zanac or Aleste - is actually a subject of a debate among various people. Is it or is it not a Compile game? Weird....
Sylphia was def on the Compile game history page before the cache was taken down. It's enough to convince me but as Tatsujin mentioned we don't know which Compile members contributed to the game. Compile did alot of subcontracting work for companies like Sega and PonyCa, and sometimes failed to add their names to the credits.
#223
Quote from: runinruder on 03/17/2008, 09:49 AMLast Armageddon - Oh lord, I think I've already written a book complaining about this one.  It was a huge success in Japan, and it was made by the same folks who produced Efera & Jiliora, a personal favorite of mine.  I thought I was in for a treat.  Oh, man...  Painful.
What i disliked the most about this game was the lack of good music. The original PC-8801 & MSX2 port had an awesome soundtrack, but sadly most of it was taken out of the PCE port.
#224
R.O.B? That hunk of junk is even more useless than the virtual boy. I would know because for XMAS '88 I was given a NES package with ROB, Stack-Up, Gyromite, and Duck-Hunt.

Aside from Duck-Hunt, the other two games were garbage. Gyromite was mildly fun with a buddy, and Stack-Up was virtually unplayable. To this day I still couldn't figure out how to play Stack-Up, and I read the manual front to back a million times.

I sold my R.O.B set for hefty $306 on ebay in 2002. Good times.
#225
Yeah it's possible. Same concept as building arcade sticks for the PS2. Here's a good source to help you get started - http://wrongcrowd.com/arcade/joystickp1.shtml

I used the same knowledge to make own Atari/MSX -> NES joystick adapter. It's pretty simple.

Quote from: Tatsujin on 03/09/2008, 01:39 AMthat damn console is a damn bad ass and even can't be found easly in japan (except for yahoo.auction). most of the 2D arcade games are almost 1:1 ports.
The arcade ports are great, and they also come with redbook audio. Some with remixed tracks too. The shmups on the system is the only reason I would want one though, but all the vertical shmups are in wobble mode. Not exactly the easiest way to play those games.  :wink:
#229
A couple songs on the of my playlist. They're all from PC-8801 games I'm currently playing.

"Nineteen" - Star Cruiser

"Space Boat" - Star Cruiser

"The Tree Bask" - Last Armageddon

QuoteSeriously, you need to play Golden Tee. It might change your mind.
I seriously hope that is a joke. I like many sports games (virtually nothing "pro" or licensed though) but Golden Tee is one step up from a redemption machine.
You don't like Golden Tee? I thought it was crap too at first sight because it's a golf and I don't play sport games. But having played the game for years, it's easily the best sport game in the arcade. The controls are easy to learn and you don't need to know the rules of golf. Very simple gameplay and extremely fun if you're competing against a buddy.

Thexder?  http://geocities.com/thexderhome/thexder.htm

If that's the game, it was released for a whack-load of systems.  I had the TRS-80 CoCo3 cartridge version. :P
Nope, but I loved Thexder. Great game. The game I'm thinking of is prehistoric compared to Thexder and especially Kitsune's.

The game I'm thinking of starts in a bland "desert" of brown ground and orange fields of sand (dominant feature) and some blue sky. I'm not sure if this game was released in the States.
Yeah, i know this game. It's called Formation Z.
#239
Relics - I beat the PC-8801 and MSX2 version in the same day. A rather odd game where you begin as a ghost searching for your real body. At the same time you explore a strange ruin called Relics. The action is slow paced and there's no BGM except during the intro and ending. Seems like a really boring game at first but it's one those that somehow keeps you playing until you finish it.

Snatcher - I finally finished playing through the original PC-8801. Best version I've played yet.

Last Armageddon - Different logo & intro, and redone opening sequence. Some arranged music but a couple original tracks missing. Completely new world map and sprites. 3D dungeons is replaced with overhead dungeon crawling. Cutscenes have voice acting.

Super Raiden - has 2 extra stages and an ending.
