Are the Dark Seed games import friendly? I know I could probably get the DOS versions on GoG or some similar site, but I'd love to play them on my Saturn.
GOG doesn't offer either
Darkseed, so your only recourse would be an aftermarket site like eBay regardless.
Anyway, yes and no.
Darkseed is, sort of; all the text is in Japanese, but they kept the English voiceovers from the talkie versions of the game, so you can understand what's being said just fine (not many lines
aren't spoken in that game).
Darkseed 2, however, is dubbed into Japanese in addition to having Japanese text (and only a few lines are spoken aloud at all - unlike the PC version, where, like the first game, pretty much
everything is spoken), so unless you use
the Wrongpurae or something for reference or understand Japanese, you'll probably get stuck.
Incidentally, Japanese Mike Dawson in
DS2 has a really deep voice - a stark contrast to the nasal, whiny voice the sequel gave him in English. (
See this video; compare his undubbed scream to his dubbed talking immediately thereafter.)
Hope that explains everything. *explodes*
