Title: Bandai Playdia
Post by: guyjin on November 19, 2007, 02:43:01 PM
So, do any of you own one? are any of the games for it actually fun?

I really know next to nothing about the system, but it looks... interesting.

No, and no.

It might be more fun than a PCFX though.

The Playdia looks 100% crappier than the PC FX.

Looks like it wanted to be a PC-FX, though (which itself wanted to be like the US Sega CD).  Mostly animated video with very little interactivity.  I don't know if I'd dare pay xxx yen for it, though.  That's a god damn lot of yen!

It would be cool to get a hold of a Playdia and a game, find out what it's using for video and as a "for the hell of it" project, make the world's most retarded VCD player.  :lol:

it's sad that I know exactly what you're talking about when you say xxx yen.

actually you can find new playdias für less than $30 here in japan. but never bought one of'em, since there are "no games" available.

I don't have one, but I've heard of it before, and tried to remember what it was called before now. Wouldn't mind playing one.

Probably cool just to try out, but face it the Playdia is dollar bin system. It ranks right up there with 32X (well, actually the 32X can be elevated higher b/c it has games) but unless your a DBZ fan or a cheese ball like Keranu you really don't want to buy one of these.

The console has an extensive library of children's games and hentai.  Great mix.  :lol:

And yet no loli. Go fig.  :-k

On a serious note, could somebody post the file structure of a Playdia disc (any disc), with filenames? I don't need an ISO, I'm just curious of how this works on the software side of things.

Oh and no Dragon's Lair, what's up with that?

One reason: Bandai RULES! They actually managed to fight off those parasites who wants to release that crap on every system in existance.

I wish they'd released that 'crap' on HuVideo, but they didn't and that's why I like kicking hobos.

Are you implying Dragon's Lair isn't crap? If so, that's about the most bizarre thing I've ever heard in my entire life!! :shock:

I'll concede that NES Dragon's Lair blows dirty goats, unlike the original laser disc game.

Does DIAF stand for Die In A Fire?  There are too many acronyms these days for a good ol boy to keep up with.

OMG that review is funny.  It reminds me of playing Space Ace on the 3DO.  For some reason they thought it would be funny to change the directions up some, but to not add anything on screen indicating these different directions.  Something flashes left, I hit left, I die.  Ok...I try all the other directions and the button, I die each time.  Ah, it's left than up a moment later, ty game faqs.

A 2-D dragon's lair though is pretty aweful.  I expected an Apple conversion or an early DOS conversion.  The kind that came on 10 DD 5 1/4" floppys.  I am pretty sure one of those LD conversions could fit on a NES cart with the largest rom chips it can handle.  I know the Apple II version of Space Ace would fit on the NES.

I hope someone buys every copy of the NES dragon's lair and burns or burys them.

I've played the NES Dragon's Lair! The game is hard as hell and the controls were absolutely constipated.  I don't know how anyone can even beat it! :-&

As for the Playdia, for f*ck sakes, it looks like a CD player for toddlers. :shock: How bad were the sales for it? :?

That's because it is, and the sales were abysmal enough for Playdia to resort to releasing porn to help recoup development expenses.

Those toddlers love their porn after all.  :lol: Seriously, I bet when they say porn, they mean hentai. I wonder if somebody's grandma mistakenly gave a kid a hentai game because of the Playdia.... :lol:
