Title: Sunsoft releasing old PC games for Modern PC's

They own most of the Telenet library, maybe they'll do some PC Engine remakes or re-releases or something....finally! I recall Vic Ireland trying to work with them several years ago when they first acquired Valis & co.

Fun fact, while this collection uses the dreaded StarForce copy protection system, once the games are installed they do not require the disc to run. Meaning you can remove the StarForce crap completely and still play the games with no restrictions. ROLF. They are just 1:1 PCE ports though. Would have been nice if they had included other versions of the games for completeness sake.

Sadly Project EGG stopped doing box releases a few years ago as they simply didn't sell well enough, now everything is just digital downloads. So yes, PC-98 Valis is now available, but download only.

I don't really have any figures, for anything, but I would actually love one for Megas. Or any of the bosses, really.
