Farland Story Video is Up! (PC-98 Paradise)

[kazekiri]

Hey guys! I started a new series: "PC-98 Paradise"!!! So I thought for the first video I would do a follow-up to my Burai video. Is the second one really terrible? And are the MSX2 and FM Towns versions any better? How about the PC Engine Super CD remake "Burai II"?

I just put up a video about the PC-98's own Castlevania-inspired platformer known as Rusty. Curious to know how many of you have heard of/played the game. Your feedback is welcome as always.

I do enjoy your vids! I only knew of Rusty after I was messing with the PC-98 emu and did a search for games and Rusty came up as a recommended title (I was mainly looking for Thunder Force). After watching your vids on the 88 and 98, I feel I can live vicariously through you and save myself the hassle of getting real hardware Keep up the solid work! I envy your free time you must have that allows you to attempt a 1cc AFTER you already played and beat it.

Thanks. Yeah, if there's anything I have plenty of right now it's spare time. Gotta enjoy it while I can. Playing Rusty over and over again was good times... though I'd be lying if I said it didn't involve the occasional utterance of certain four-letter words.

I saw this on my youtube feed. Pretty cool video, and yeah- I think the game looks badass!  I would have a hard time with the slow walk and timing my sprinting, lol.

Thanks for another awesome video!  Love it!

Dang, Rusty looks and sounds pretty damn good.  I like how it's a little bit naughty with the defeated boss / girls defeat screenies, kinda like Steam Hearts but not so filthy.

Yeah. It's surprisingly clean and innocent for a game where you play an S&M queen in spandex.

Ha!  An apt description and it'd almost fit faucet armor too.

The saga continues... Will the evil Monte Carlo be revived again? Will we ever get to the Rustytroid games? All of these questions are... NOT answered in the video. Check out another fun game using the Rusty engine!

It's about time I covered one of the Hudson/Nintendo games. Here's Mario Bros. Special!

This time I'm playing a game that's not for PC-88 or PC-98, or any other NEC PC. It's Castlevania on the X68000!

Incredible!  Thank you!!

Finally got around to doing the second Xak game. Once again, I talk about the Turbo version quite a bit near the end of the video so check it out!

I'm finally catching up with these great vids.  Please keep 'em coming!

I really like the cute and colorful world of Tatsugeki! Mix.  The dark and 'serious' look of Rusty is quite nice, of course, but I like that they went such a different route to better contrast and not have it look like a slapdash 'bargain' release.  Such money grabs often look like shitty remixes of the source material, where you gain nothing by playing them instead of replaying the first game.

Mario Bros. Special is rather interesting.  It looks rather clunky (especially that slowdown) but it looks kinda fun too.  I hope you can snag a few of the other Hudson made Nintendo games, as that was a fun watch.

I'm caught up now. 

Castlevania looks pretty nice, especially the fancy packaging.  Overall it's great looking; a few areas are kinda bland and not much better than the NES game (moreso in colors than anything), but others are miles better in every way.

The packaging for Xak II is also cool and unique.  It's fun seeing so much of Xak II, even if it does lean heavy on Ys (even adding projectiles like Ys II), and has a few warts.  I don't recall thinking the PCE game was broken, but I'm easily entertained so don't mind me.
