Secret Santa 2024

Awesome surprises from Santa this year!! My first PC-FX games, can't wait to get the boy reading disks and give them a try! Also got some super sweet NOS blank tapes!



Thanks so much Necro!

As an aside: I absolutely LOVE these fat game cases, I think they look/feel great!

I kinda dig the cases too, though they take up a lot more room than the jewel cases.  I've not found any suitable replacements, so you're kinda screwed if one gets damaged.

Thanks Santa!  Alien Crush finally gets to put a sunshade on its giant window while I got started playing Langrisser using my phone to translate.  Seriously, it's incredible how easily I can play foreign games these days.  Sure, a google translation feels rather stilted, but you can't beat how easily smartphones make getting a reasonable understanding of events.  I'm hoping to get all the way through the game over the next couple of weekends while I don't have too much work to get done, and unlike a bunch of the JRPGs that I've played lately, I'd intend to actually know what's going on.

As for the VHS tape?  Honestly, the commercial collection was badass.  I left it running while I was getting some work done and it was super weird how much nostalgia the VHS tracking line occasionally at the bottom of the screen gave me.

  Remember!  The mid-game save function in Langlisser is only for while you are playing.  True saving takes place once you've finished a stage.  Also, the main character can become a flying type in this version, so check the manual for progressions! The ending feels satisfying, too! None of the "Congraturation" crap!

Langrisser was on other peep's minds as well!!    

Thank you so much Necro for putting all of this together every year! And thanks SANTA!!! <3





Super excited to dive into this!!
