You know what's weird? There was only one true, pure point-and-click adventure game made by Japanese developers during the golden age of Japanese PC gaming. It's called Makyouden, here's a page with screenies; Tokyo Twilight Busters is one-half visual novel, the other part being a Clock Tower-ish, point-and-click-interface adventure mode.

He's selling what exactly? TF2 keys or Broforce codes?

Steam gifts, easily the best trader in steam's history. Feel safe buying from him!

I wonder if that giant enemy crab has a weak point.

 

[Miguel81]

I wonder if anyone else played those horrible ms dos Megaman games. All this talk of old PC games made this horrible memory just come to mind lol

Ninja Gaiden II had such choppy, headache-inducing scrolling. Thank god for id software and Commander Keen.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Kind of along the same lines, but it's a damn shame that The Neverhood never got a proper digital release.

I remember randomly finding out about that game one day when I was younger and being really disappointed that I couldn't play it. I wonder who even owns the ip for that game anymore and if it would be possible for it rerelease. I think it might be EA but I'm not really sure.

Should have got Sonic R.

Sonic the Fighters is the GOAT terrible old Sanic game though.

 

[Helmholtz]

I'm digging the new cs:go maps that were just recently released. I continue to suck at that game though.

Just watching that game was painful.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Probably. The game appears to have some supernatural plot of sorts, and the Japanese are wacky like that. You can buy the game from Project EGG if you pay the subscription fee through PayPal (playable through their launcher, PC-98 emulation depends on Windows specifications).

 

[Rhaknar]

goddamn you accept my gift.

im not even home

and no

liezryou sensei is absolutely awesome!

Oh cool, didn't see Dunder was selling it. Definitely jump on that

What about Sanic Heroes, Sanic 3d blast and Sanic 06? They are all pretty bad

 

[Ban Puncher]

Spare key from the Humble bundle for anyone who wants it:

Snap. Thanks duder.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

im not even home

and no

lol, Begun the gift wars have.

Sonic the Fighters is pretty good for multiplayer. The arcade mode's pretty fuck easy.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

eh. Some of them are okay and others remind me of bad COD maps.

I think
Castle, Overgrown, and Black Gold are the best. The other ones are meh.

 

[iosefe]

Sanic Heroes

But the theme song...

 

[JaseC]

So...apparently Steam changed their EULA again. Now this is an EULA I can understand!

Haha, something tells me the developer doesn't realise that EULAs for unreleased games are also public.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

What about Sanic Heroes, Sanic 3d blast and Sanic 06? They are all pretty bad

3D Blast is pretty fucking awful, but the Fighters takes it to the next level.

And I said "old terrible Sanic games," not the new terrible ones

 

[Rhaknar]

lol, Begun the gift wars have.

I war with but 1 person on SteamGaf, and that person isnt Shadow

just be a big man and take it!

Oh man, I had Megaman 3(?) on a 3 1/2 inch floppy. It was terribad.

I had one of the Megaman PC games, but I don't remember which. Nor do I really remember much about it other than it was pretty bad. Though I'm pretty sure mine was on a 5 1/4 floppy.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Now that's interesting.
Wonder why a team hasn't tried to grab it for translation and rerelease.
I could see it doing well on GOG.

 

[jshackles]

Speaking of games I would buy in an instant if they were put up on Steam: pretty much any of the old Star Trek games, but especially Bridge Commander or Voyager Elite Force / Elite Force II. Other notable mentions include Starfleet Academy, Armada / Armada II, and even the more recent Star Trek Legacy.

TW3 for $16? Now that's crazy good. Broforce is also pretty tempting at that price, but honestly, I'd just be adding to my backlog if I get it.

Huh, never heard of that game, looks interesting! Might actually bite for 500 yen, that's pretty cheap.

 

[Rhaknar]

Hmmm...

yes! embrace the alpaca!

 

[yGray]

i wanted to win your competition but you had that "must have used modbot" rule up lol

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I live! And I'm tired of weddings, holy shit.

Except now I'm too tired to do much. Might Veg and play some more Valiant Hearts. Dunno.

 

[Speevy]

Is it me? Can it be me?

I need to get me Broforce and go nuts as Judge Dredd.

Star Trek Borg or Star Trek Klingon for me.

Getting these games over here is more of a problem than it seems from the outside. Remember, XSEED publishing Falcom games in the West is a recent phenomenon, and Falcom's way more savvy than the rest of the Japanese developers and publishers born during the Japanese PC golden age.

The crux of the problem is hacking these games open for translators to insert text that looks good, is readable, and makes for the best localization to begin with. Some games will no doubt have unique programming within them leaving little room for English characters (assuming people don't want to read generic Unicode/ASCII characters). Then GOG or Steam would have to convince the rights-holders for the games' IPs/trademarks/both that there's a good profit to be made. Project EGG's successfully gotten these games up for sale through a subscription-based model (no DRM, thankfully!), but who knows if the publishers think there's a Western audience. Games from publishers like DB-Soft, Kogado, and System Sacom should do well on a site like GOG, but only if people have a clear idea of whether they're any good to play or not, and so few people have played these games that anyone wanting to put them up for purchase becomes a curator in effect.

No, it's me.

lol, only if it's a competition between the number of giveaways he has and the number of giveaway I enter.

Oh hell yeah, I would buy the shit out of Star Trek Borg - I love John de Lancie as Q.

Obviously it's his bro.

Yeah that's definitely a good point. It's surprising how stubborn japan can still be with their games sometimes.

 

[Sub Zero]

It's me but he already surrendered after I owned him in the last day of the sale. There's no coming back from it

 

[Rhaknar]

ugh get that shit out of my Alpaca goodness

 

[Shadownet]

i wanted to win your competition but you had that "must have used modbot" rule up lol

dont worry. just sit back. I'll get it to you before the month end

Please be Excited

 

[yGray]

Please be Excited

I want you to save up for you trip and not buy anymore games until at least the winter sale and then you can buy me whatever i dont have by then

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Japanese representation on PC platforms has definitely gotten better in recent years, what with SEGA focusing on digital distribution and XSEED doing their business. My dream is that all the great Japanese PC games made before or slightly after 1995 can make their way to our domestic stores. Loads of great adventure games, visual novels, arcade-style romps, and Western-like CRPGs to sort through...good thing we have reliable PC emulators for all the different Japanese PC platforms of that era.

Besides, Square's old PC games are bound to sell well. If any one publisher's likely to advocate for such a project, it's Square-Enix.

 

[Rhaknar]

It's me but he already surrendered after I owned him in the last day of the sale. There's no coming back from it

werent you sleeping for your exam? You felt it didnt you, you felt the blood feud boiling inside of you. Its alright, its normal to be afraid. You strike me down in a moment of weakness and sing jolly songs of how you defeated the beast

you should have killed me when you had the chance, but alas, like your namesake, you cant kill fuck all, you can only be killed. Like a bitch

Still some keys left in my giveaway from this afternoon.
