You mean mystic formula!

Nice. First video Ive seen of it. I really like the game. I bought it based off MicroCabin , and the cover art.

Or a non-SD Fray.

Is this game expensive? I think I want it.

DHG Hunter · 04/28/2011, 11:37 PM

Rarely shows up on eBay any more, but import sites list it above $100 now which IMHO is a bit ridiculous. I think I paid about $40-$50 for it a few years ago and Drunken Gamers told me I probably overpaid for it back then, heh.

semi rare I would consider it. in japan it goes usually for like 4000~5000yens. thats how much I have payed for it already few years ago.

that was a lucky hauly bernel

I've found this game has always been a little pricey.
I'll have to give it another chance, only played it for a few minutes.

Tatsujin · 04/29/2011, 09:52 AM

i dont like it really. nice grafx but lacks in typical pce pepp.

Nazi NecroPhile · 04/29/2011, 09:59 AM

There's a spineless copy on eBay for ~$55 shipped.

Yeah, it always looked great in screenshots, but there's just something missing in terms of fun factor.

awack · 04/29/2011, 03:54 PM

Yeah, its right on the edge of being a really good game, the bosses range from mechs to wizards, its got good graphics, a little hovercraft/motorcycle action, seamless transition from action to cutscenes and some pretty good soundfx.

ccovell · 04/29/2011, 06:21 PM

But it looks from that video like typical Japanese PC game design... BGs range from lavish to overy tiled, both level 1 and 2 have the same enemy deficiency: only 2 (!) different enemy types over and over and then a boss battle. It feels a little sparse, doesn't it?

Arkhan Asylum · 04/29/2011, 08:40 PM

I got my copy for 30 monies complete.

Its a charming game. The gameplay is a bit more unique than your typical over head run n gunners.

The video went along with a review I did with someone else for Retroids: http://retroids.com/site/content.php/265-Mystic-Formula-for-PC-Engine-Review

I'm a bit "meh" to it overall, but there are points to the game I really do enjoy.

On a side note, any interest for movies on Flash Hiders, Steam-Heart's or Kakutou Haou Densetsu Algunos? I generally try to put up game vids that either aren't on YouTube yet or haven't been done in a way that interests me (i.e., I'm not a big fan of personal commentary during a video or skipping cut scenes.) Flash Hiders has all of its cut scenes up on YouTube but no battles other than the Super NES version. Steam-Heart's is almost entirely the Saturn version although there is one comparison video that barely shows the PCE version. I would need to hack the cut scenes up for that one, however, to avoid any troubles. Finally, Algunos has a pretty good series of videos already if you do some digging, so I'm less interested in that one.

Later.

Arkhan Asylum · 04/30/2011, 04:19 AM

Steam Hearts would be great. Alot of people ask me about that game and I have no youtube to show them.

I suck at making movies myself

DHG Hunter · 04/30/2011, 01:10 PM

K, I'll try to get something up tonight as I have time. Probably just the first stage, though, as for some reason my limited shmup skills seem even more limited with that game.
