Post by: tggodfrey on April 24, 2014, 12:24:04 PM
Just as the title says, its complete and pretty much mint or super nice condition.
Anyone can enter as long as you do not fit any of the descriptions below
1. reseller on ebay 2. Be a complete toolbag on this site 3. have less than 100 posts 4. only post in the WTB/FS sections 5. Think NES is the best console 6. Have this game already 7. Been caught ordering shaved and declawed gerbils
That's OK, Hailing, you're still my favorite poster here, along with nullity. :wink:
Anyhoo, I'm not at all qualified to sign up for this, but it's cool of you to raffle it off, TC... man, I love this place!
Thank you. Sincerely.

Apparently I put together several text documents that were meant to be complied into one super guide, but I never got around to it. So most of this stuff likely has never been made available online:

I keep finding things I had forgotten about. Like, physical things, not just computer files. Off the top of my head, I made English CD manuals for Ys IV, Kabukiden, Ziria, Tengai Makyou TAIV, Lunar SSS Saturn, and Drac X... but there are more for sure. While moving things around in storage, I often come across notebooks with handwritten walkthroughs, maps, spell lists and drawings.
I have several partially completed text walkthroughs, for games like Cosmic Fantasy 3, Cosmic Fantasy 4 C2, Ys IV, LoX, Tengai Makyou III, Snatcher, Policenauts, Dragon's Curse, Blood Gear... Plus unreleased updated versions of walkthroughs which have added ascii art maps and misc.

I'll enter this raffle; hopefully the translation patch comes out this century, although I haven't heard any news about it in ages... :-k
I guess it doesn't matter much, since I never seem to win raffles or contests or anything like this anyway... :lol:

You should enter the art contest! Almost everyone that does will be a winner! (unless a bunch of people actually enter...)
If you're referring to the one where the prizes are a copy of Implode or Meteor Blaster DX, I already have those games, so it would be pretty meaningless for me to enter. Sorry, Nullity. :(

Damn! I've been having good luck on these raffles! I won "Far East of Eden: Kabuki Den" from Bernie a year ago or so. If someone ever does a raffle for the Ziria sequel, Manji Maru, I might have a shot at getting the main PC Engine set via raffles. ;)
Interestingly, I just a read a random review that Kabuki Den has some of the best music that the PC Engine has to offer (the guy thought better than Ys ??), so I'll have to check that out, see if there's something worth adding to my MP3 Jukebox player.
BTW, found a HG101 full review of the series here: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/tengai/tengai.htm

Manji Maru I raffled off a year ago I think.
Funny thing is, I got this from Bernie a couple years back on a trade.

Kabuki Den does have a sweet soundtrack. I especially like the ending theme.
Also, the overworld theme in Manjimaru was composed by Joe Hisaishi, who also composed many of the Studio Ghibli films. Just goes to show how huge of a project these games were at the time.
Here it is:

I brought this back from the dead because SuperPlay recently picked up the soundtrack and I was wondering if there were any surprises on it. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

I bought the 2nd one in the Ziria series from big Al, so I have all 3 now (won the 1st one from here, and the 3rd spin-off from Bernie).

I have the original Manjimaru soundtrack as well as the remake soundtrack. What kind of surprises were you hoping for?
The original comes with a calender and has chip tunes (some of which sound different to me, I haven't compared them to real hardware yet).
The remake has the same tracks in the same order, only on two discs. The chip tune tracks have been replaced by their remakes. There are three extra tracks, the last of which is a "Jingle Collection".
One surprising thing is that the original soundtrack was published by NEC Ave.

Ha! That is sort of what I was expecting. The chiptunes are included, kool.
NEC AVE: you can help me with this, but my current theory is that they were the "media publishing" arm of NEC, since they produced/published at least one LaserDisc (Download) and some video game soundtracks (I think they released Dragon Knight II&III SOUNDTRACKS? And possibly a Monster Maker soundtrack? I gotta double-check that).

I have the Super Darius Laserdisc which they also published. I like the idea of NEC Ave developing two amazing upgraded ports of Darius, then having an employee play through Super Darius every which way and put out the Super Play LD themselves. :)

All right, now we have to compile a list of all non-Game NEC AVE releases!
