Not sure if I want to sell it, but if the price is right I probably could:)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-39552783055478299152012-10-02T09:00:46.350+09:002012-10-02T09:00:46.350+09:00hi, congratulations for your blog, i find it very ...hi, congratulations for your blog, i find it very interesting and useful, i was in japan early this year and its very annoying the gameshops and toyshops they have.. i like your reviews and the gameshops you name here of kyoto.

It's known as being released without bug testing due to release deadlines, and it put the company that released it out of business! Despite that and it's glitches, it's still a really fun JRPG. I personally enjoyed it, and, well, it'd still be a nice piece of history to own.skyrunner14https://www.blogger.com/profile/01229439263777499255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-71262057370821063982011-05-19T10:51:25.633+09:002011-05-19T10:51:25.633+09:00Thanks!

I'd love to see what you have to say about it!<br /><br />Also, it's worth noting that some fans of the game teamed up and made a really kick-butt remake that borrows heavily from the early SaGa/Final Fantasy Legend games. It's worth checking out... I already beat it, and it was AWESOME. There's a link to the download page on the English Wiki article if you're interested.skyrunner14https://www.blogger.com/profile/01229439263777499255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-53002034778149951552011-05-19T09:04:05.548+09:002011-05-19T09:04:05.548+09:00LOL, I do enjoy stuff that qualifies as "So b...LOL, I do enjoy stuff that qualifies as "So bad it is good" so I will have to check that out!

You sta...I think you'll be in for a... treat. <br /><br />You start at level 0. The enemies in the area are completely overpowered, one of which can petrify you... and no mercy-kill game over. You move slower then old men. The cheapest weapon you can get is weaker than your fists, which only do 1-2 damage. The graphics glitch if you try pressing two directional keys at once. The password system doesn't save character experience. <br /><br />It's like The Room (if you've heard of that) of JRPGs: absolutely terrible, but you keep playing just to see what they get wrong next.skyrunner14https://www.blogger.com/profile/01229439263777499255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-82386025081105727822011-05-18T09:19:43.422+09:002011-05-18T09:19:43.422+09:00LOL, you raised my interest so I just looked it up...LOL, you raised my interest so I just looked it up on Wikipedia!

That's a Famicom game you could probably write a good article about. It's known as "densetsu no kusoge". If I've piequed your interest, I'd be more than happy to tell you more.skyrunner14https://www.blogger.com/profile/01229439263777499255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-22626609909818648672011-05-18T09:07:51.118+09:002011-05-18T09:07:51.118+09:00Skyrunner - for you, I will do just that!

Say for example you go to one of the many stores that sell Famicom games and you come across one you've never heard of, of maybe it's one you like but no one else has heard of, and maybe you play a few minutes or what have you and talk about it. Knowing you, you'd probably bring up some games I've never heard of... and I love finding out about new games on old systems.skyrunner14https://www.blogger.com/profile/01229439263777499255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-61426717907657161202011-05-17T09:24:16.894+09:002011-05-17T09:24:16.894+09:00Correct, sir, he is Bluestreak!
This Fairlady Z...Correct, sir, he is Bluestreak! <br /><br />This Fairlady Z is also the answer to a Transformers mystery - why did the Bluestreak box show a picture of a blue robot when the toy itself was silver? Because they simply took the same cover art off of the original Fairlady Z and used it on Bluestreak's box as well!<br /><br />Good job identifying the other Transformers on the back.
