Title: Potentially retarded question: Ys.
Post by: Kitsunexus on October 19, 2007, 08:38:38 PM: I'm seriously seriously dumb when it comes to this series, even though I've played a few of them. I know that Ys is very old and was originally for Japanese computers like MSX and X68000, and I know there's TurboCD versions, but are there HuCard versions of Ys 1 & 2?

This is a really stupid question, I'm sorry. :(

The answer is no, the Ys games were only on CD. However I'm sure you can find trolls out there who have made "Special" HuCard versions.

If they did them half decent. Like many CD games the Ys I - III chip tunes are pretty basic.

As basic as they were, I really liked the tunes in those games. They didn't really fit in with some of the explosive CD tracks, but they had really nice charm to them. My favorite was the song played in Rance Village. Ys IV's chiptunes were a huge leap though.

I still like them, but I'd want more complex renditions of the rest of the soundtrack if it was put on HuCard.
