Title: Mr. Helgeson: Veigues was reminscent of... ?
Post by: esteban on August 09, 2007, 12:44:08 PM
This is a question for everyone, but Mr. Helgeson specifically:

I remember you compared Veigues Tactical Gladiator to another game... or, to be more precise, you alluded that it might have been a direct port / adaption / rip-off of some other game. So, what was the name of this game?

I am too lazy to search through the threads (especially because the search function is severely wonky!). If I remembered the thread, I'd be fine (I'd find it myself), but I can't remember the context in which Veigues came up.

Thanks in advance :)

Veigues Tactical Gladiator was a port from the Japanese PC-8801 game, seen here: http://www.gamearts.co.jp/history/main/pc_vei.html

Another page compares Veigues to another game, Rogus.  http://www.geocities.jp/rip_gamer/rogus/rog_top.html

Awesome, those pages you linked to were great, especially the one on Rogus! Rogus has piqued my interest...

Michael Helgeson ignores these parts of the forum.

Ha! Apparently. You know what I'll do: I'll simply ask him on the next thread he participates in.

I remember the end of the game was a bit of a cliffhanger for a sequel but nothing ever came about.
