Title: nihon telenet shooter continuity
Post by: exodus on August 08, 2013, 09:59:28 PM
I just noticed something today - Telenet's 10th CD game (TJ0010), the impossible shooter Legion, takes place in 2060, according to the manual. Telenet's 11th CD game (TJ0011), the less-impossible Avenger, takes place in 2061, according to the manual.

What is Telenet's 12th CD game? WHEN DOES IT TAKE PLACE!? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Golden Axe. It takes place in the year 2062, folowed by Valis IV, which takes place in the year 2063.

yessss (actually I think Valis IV is TJCD0017 if I'm not mistaken)

(not to be confused with Valise IV which is about stacking briefcases)

A time line of all in game years for pce games would actually be pretty cool

paranoiadragon - welllllllllllllll I can't read the kanji properly, but as best as I can guess, it's year 0092 of the "space age" whatever that means. given how japanese eras work though, it's *possible* that year 92 of the space age could be 2062, so let's pretend it is :P

(also Psychic Storm is TJCD0025, but I'm not sure they published many shooters between Avenger and Psychic Storm?)

It's so crazy and pointless I would absolutely love devoting time to it.

LEGITIMATE ISSUE: What source provides the definitive year? You know how small details get changed when porting games...I suppose two columns—the PCE YEAR and YEAR FROM ORIGINAL GAME—would work...  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

well, if it's a timeline of all PC Engine game years, I think you can ignore the rest, right? Unless the year isn't stated by the PC Engine version, in which case you may have to go to the initial game? hmm
