PC Engine/Famicom/Super Famicom reviews & manuals

[lkermel]

Added manuals for Bouken Danshaken Don (PCE), Bravoman (PCE) and Burning Angels (PCE)

[SparTonberry]

BravoMan is certainly a strange game.

I AM JAPANESE TELEPHONE BOOTH!

[lkermel]

Sorry, I didn't have much time this week to work on a new review. But, in the meantime, I have added manuals for Cocoron (FC) and Hector87 (FC)

@SparTonberry
That's the only part I like about Bravoman, its infinite weirdness. It's what keeps you going to the next level ;)

[SparTonberry]

There was also a canceled Mega CD game that was likely a sequel to Cocoron.

New review and manual:

Parasol Stars - PC Engine (http://www.videogameden.com/hucard.htm?pas)

@SparTonberry
Waooo, you just blew my mind! I remember reading something about this game in a French magazine back in the days, but I never connected the dots. This is amazing ! I'll DEFINITIVELY do more research about this and add it to the site, thank you so much for the information !!!!!

New review and manual:

Western Kids - Famicom (http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?wek)

[Ed Oscuro]

Hey, nice site, and nice links here. Lots of good info to mull over. Gonna give that Western Kids a shot sometime.

A darn shame that Cocoron sequel wasn't released; it was apparently so amazing it caused EGM's staff writer (using that term advisedly) to forget whatever they were doing at the beginning of that sentence.

Cyber Core - I'd like to get the X68000 version of this game, sometime. Will have to do a comparison against the PCE release sometime.

[lkermel]

New update and manual:

Side Arms Hyper Dyne - PC Engine (http://www.videogameden.com/hucard.htm?sia)

@Ed Oscuro
Thanks a lot for your comment. I'm happy you like the site :)
I have the X68000 version of Cyber Core and from what I can tell, it is very close to the PC Engine game, but with better graphics. sounds and music (the introduction sequence, where the man turns into a bug, shows more detail). Here is a video by Vysethedetermined:

I can remember reading about that, being one of the import games EGM gave a (mulit-page?) review of.

Bomber King - Famicom (http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?bok)


Ya !

[SparTonberry]

The Karaoke Mode (http://tcrf.net/Robo_Warrior) can technically still be accessed in RoboWarrior (by Jaleco, not Sunsoft), if you use a PAR or an emulator with RAM-editing capability.
Though as you might guess, the karaoke screens will just be a graphics-glitch mess. It still runs, though.

[lkermel]

@SparTonberry
Wao, thanks for the link, I didn't know the Karaoke mode was still somewhere in the Robo Warrior ROM, this is fascinating :)
Thanks also for pointing out the typo about Jaleco/SunSoft. As a side note, I'm still doing some research on all of this - I find really interesting that some of the staff on Bomber King is actually connected to Aicom (which, I believe, didn't exist in 1987). Did these employees later leave Hudson Soft to create/join Aicom? The Game Boy game does mention Aicom as well... to be continued :)

New review and manual:

Jiro-kun no Daiboken - Super Famicom (http://www.videogameden.com/sfc.htm?jir)

Yo !

[SparTonberry]

Actually, Spanky's Quest might have removed the map because the backgrounds were switched.
World 1 in Spanky's Quest used Jiro's tutorial world graphics, Spanky World 2 used Jiro regular World 1 graphics, etc.
(though I haven't played both all the way through myself to say for sure)
And from looking at your manual scan, I guess the evil witch's name was changed from Samantha to Morticia for some reason.

That's a really good point... but still, they could have accommodated something instead of removing the whole thing... oooooooh well..... also, the western introduction sequence always puzzled me, I wonder why it was never included in the Japanese version (or did I miss it?). Maybe they couldn't complete it on time for the original release and decided to add it to the US/European versions (both version were release at least 6 months later, right?).
Great find about the witch's name, I didn't notice that :)

New review and manual:

Tiny Toon Adventures - Super Famicom (http://www.videogameden.com/sfc.htm?tta)


Ya!

[SparTonberry]

It is correct that the password feature is for the easiest difficulty only (which skips much of the levels, including the bosses, and omits level 5 entirely). The higher settings expect you to finish in one sitting with limited continues.
I think the US manual actually reuses the screenshots from the JP manual (definitely the level 4 screen with the typo "BOLL ON", which was actually corrected in the Japanese game. Yes, I quickly made the obligatory Photoshop (http://www.mediafire.com/view/8k46w60kql5bvan/boll.JPG)).
Level 2's auto-control section has a bug where the CPU is instructed to explicitly "push" the R button when it should've been instructed to "push" the Dash buttons (so you'll lose if you change the R button from its default setting). A bug that, from code analysis was probably only corrected in the Spanish PAL version (at least that was the case when I made a small patch to fix that in the JP, US and English PAL versions).

[FieryReign]

Lovin your site, I've found quite a few obscure gems browsing through it. It would be even better if you actually had a second reviewers' opinion. There is a whole blank space there for every game, just itching to be filled...

[lkermel]

@SparTonberry
I believe yes. However, I didn't mention it in depth because I need to do more research - the Japanese SFC version has only two difficulty levels and both use passwords (as far as I can tell). This is interesting because, as you know, the US/EU release has three difficulty levels (Children,Normal & Challenge) - Challenge only gives you one heart and wasn't included in the SFC version... This is why it wasn't as straightforward as I thought, so I really need to do more research on this before I add the information to the site,,, awesome photoshop work by the way ;)
I didn't know Konami fixed the bug in the Spanish PAL version, this is very interesting indeed!!!!

@FieryReign
Thank you :)
Alternate reviewers' opinions are really welcome!!!!! This is why the extra space on each review page is for (and some people did send me opinions in the past). Don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to add yours, I would be delighted to include them to the site :)

Cool, great to see you updating again.\\^_^/

(though in the list of Konami games, Magic Sword is a Capcom game. :) )

[lkermel]

Thanks SparTonberry - yeah, I have tons of things going on right now, but I'll try to spend little bits of time here and there on the site. Fingers crossed.
And about Magic Sword, OMG !!! :o How could I do such a mistake? Thank you so much for spotting that, I'll fix it asap!!!!

[gamebaka]

Enjoyed reading through some of your reviews. Really cool stuff, waiting for more! :)

[lkermel]

@gamebaka
Thanks a lot for your feedback mate, I really appreciate it :)
I only wish I had more time to dedicate to the site. I still have hundreds of games from my collection to review.... rhaaa!!!! need moooore freeee tiiiiime!!!!!!

Lagrange Point - Famicom (http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?lpo)

yo!

[SparTonberry]

I also found it quite odd that Tiny Toon Adventures 2 used a VRC7. It's hard to imagine Konami wasn't planning an international release when they developed it, so one would wonder why they didn't just develop it for the MMC3 (I'm assuming was) used in the NES version in the first place. Maybe they didn't bother using the expansion sound to at least save them that step for the NES release.

Yep, I always found that a bit odd as well... maybe they had a stock of VRC7 left over from Lagrange Point (as far as I know the game didn't sell in high volumes in Japan). Does anyone know if the VRC7 on TTA2 was the same as the one used on LP? Or a cut down version?

[lkermel]

Yes yes…I know updates have been slow coming lately, but my new job has been gobbling up all my time... but don't you fear, here's a new review!

Good to see new updates.

Though it seems I was mixing up my obscure PCE shooters and I think it was... God Panic... that was this super-bizarre game I had seen recently.

Ah ah! Awesome! Yeah, and God Panic is also not in the same price range ;)

[lkermel]

It sure has been a while since any updates happened on Video Game Den, hasn't it? Work and side projects have been gobbling up my time lately. But you don't have to live in fear any longer! Here is a new review!

New review and manual:

Hitler no Fukkatsu - Famicom (http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?bco)


Ya!

[SparTonberry]

I scanned my manuals for Almana no Kiseki and Meikyujin Dababa for FDS.
(though both are bound rather than stapled, so I probably damaged them a bit. But oh well, in the name of science. :) )

What's interesting is that I noticed the Dababa manual had an ad for Getsufuuma-den in the back. Looks like Getsufuuma was probably originally meant to have SRAM saving. "2-mega + memory backup"

[Steven]

Hey Ikermel! Just popping in to say it's good to see you still cranking material out. How many years have you been manning your site now?

RVG turned 8 years old the other month, and recently I had the thought... how many people in the entire world run a one man video game fansite for 8+ years now (and has been fairly consistently updated in those years)? I feel like you've been around as long as I have, maybe even longer! We are definitely in a very very small class. Heck, there aren't even very many one man gaming fansites around anymore today, let alone ones that have stood for 8+ years!

It's kind of crazy to think about :)

[lkermel]

@Steven

RVG already turned 8!?! Wahoooo! This is insane!!! I know, time flies! Video Game Den is actually 10 this year! I wanted to organize a little something on the website but I've been way too busy at work. And before VGDen, there was the PC Engine Lounge which I created around 2002/2003, so yeah! It's been a while! I sometimes wish the site was a little bit more popular, but it is a real passion of mine and I'll just carry on updating it! I have also rearranged my priorities and been working on other side projects, including my illustration work and I've also been writing my own video game :)

And you're right, one man projects that run for 8+ years seem to be rare these days! We should be proud of our commitment ;)

@SparTonberry

Ah ah! Yeah, I see what you mean about FDS manuals, scanning them usually destroys them. I actually wait until I can find a cheap copy of a game before I scan one of these. Reminds me that I've scanned a bunch of them, needs now to find the time to upload all of that to the site...

[celerystalker]

Keep up the awesome work! I bought War of the Dead and Space Hunter both from reading about them on video game den. You put a great resource out there for everyone!

I hear ya bro. Especially on the "I wish it was more popular" bit but you know what, VGDen (and I like to think my site too) has this sort of "underground" vibe going for it, which is cool in its own right. We aren't as popular as the HG101s of the world, but we have our own niche fanbase and our respective sites' general feedback speaks for itself. A lot of things get hyped in this day and age, and people say good things just to be nice. But the feedback I've seen for both of our sites over the years tells me that we're both doing something right.

Congrats on turning 10 later this year. That is quite a feat. I don't know if you're familiar with Flying Omelette, but its webmaster recently announced that the site is no longer being updated. Fansites just aren't very common these days, so yeah, we're a dying breed, man. We're dinosaurs in a world of "Gametube" and gaming wikis. Keep up the passion and keep up the great work. Maybe we'll both make it to 20 in due time. Reason to celebrate and... possibly be a little depressed too if it ever happens. Haha. Kidding. Sorta :p

The Flying Omelette is going dark? Oh, this is such a shame... but I really understand, I've had a few phases where I was really close to pull the plug as well. But I decided to keep VGDen alive and to slow down the rate of updates instead, and it looks like I can achieve this balance and keep everything else in my life going. As you rightfully said, let's shoot for our 20th anniversary! :)

Im glad youre still updating your site, hope youre making regular backups, it would be a damn shame if all these reviews and manual scans went down..

[lkermel]

Here are two new updates, the first one is for Mashin Eiyūden Wataru (aka Keith Courage in Alpha Zones) which also includes the scan of the American comic book, and I went into the deep end of Lady Sword and brought back some goodies, such as the impressive bestiary of this unique unlicensed game by Game Express.

@goatse
Ah ah! Don't worry, my site is entirely backed up, the master version is actually always on my computer (and backed up multiple times). About the scans, I still have hundreds to upload (I have something like 60G of scans already done, waiting for me to have more free time :) )

[PrimordialHelios]

If I were to find a manual you didn't have (even though I probably won't :-P ), would you want me to email a scan to you?

[lkermel]

I finally found some time to write a new review! Here is a page for the excellent Majō Densetsu II Daimashikyō Galious for the Famicom!

Majō Densetsu II Daimashikyō Galious - Famicom (http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?md2)

I have also added TONS of scans to the site, including flyers, phonecards, ads and other goodies from my collection. The highlights are definitively the ultra rare Gradius Archimendes Hen (Famicom), Exed Exes Silver Member (Famicom), a not-for-sale promotional phonecard for Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire (PC Engine) and a very uncommon four pages leaflet for Super Star Soldier (PCE). Enjoy!

@PrimordialHelios
Ah ah! Thanks a lot mate! I do actually have all the manuals for all the games reviewed on the site (and they are all already scanned), plus hundred of other games not listed there - my only problem has always been free time... blaaaarf... But I really appreciate your offer and will let you know if I would need help in the future :)

For anyone interested, the Legend of Hero Tonma is particularly interesting because I included pics from the unreleased Famicom version which was canceled for some obscure reasons...

Well, I am interested, actually! Thanks for the updates, always check out your site when I see a new game that I don't know much about.

Your site is excellent. I've used a combination of it and thebrothersduomazov a bunch over the years when looking for inspiration on PC Engine stuff. I try to identify a game or two I want to try, then find it in a lot with a bunch of stuff I've never heard of and see what happens. You do great stuff, and turned me on to one of my favorite Famicom games... Space Hunter.

Thanks again mate, and I'm so pleased to hear that VGDen helped you find hidden gems! I also love Space Hunter, I have a bunch of Famicom games I still occasionally play, and SH is definitely among them. I'm about to publish a review for Ai Senshi Nicol for the Famicom Disk System - if you liked SH then you should really check it out. Again thank you for your awesome feedback - I initially started Video Game Den to share my favorite games with others, and also because I couldn't find any information about them at the time (it is crazy, but neither Wikipedia nor Youtube were around when I started writing my first reviews!). I'm very glad VGDen helped you find games you never heard about, and I literally have hundreds of games in my collection that would deserve to be reviewed and added to the site, so I still have a verrrry long road ahead of me :)

[SparTonberry]

I tried playing Maze of Galious for the Famicom, seemed pretty good but had a few flaws. First, having to retype the password every time you Game Over.
Also it seems with the boss rooms, you have to enter the code without pausing the game. If you pause the game (Select) and then enter the code, you pretty much soft-lock the game (the code will be registered as entered, but the boss won't spawn, leaving you trapped).

I do recall several years a prototype cartridge SHELL of Hero Tonma for the Famicom turned up on yahoo! Japan auctions. (just the empty plastic with prototype label art)
Not sure if I saved it though. :(

[lkermel]

New review and manual:

Ai Senshi Nicol - Famicom Disk (http://www.videogameden.com/fds.htm?asn)

@SparTonberry
You're totally right! I had the password issue listed in my notes but I totally forgot to add it to my review (I played mostly with the invincibility cheat once I got bored entering the password each time I died, this is maybe why I forgot about it). But I will definitively mention it, good catch! I also didn't know about the boss glitch... thanks for the info. About Hero Tonma, I've heard about the proto cartridge shell and I've since been dying to see a picture of it! It would be so awesome if you (or someone here) had a picture of the auction, that'd be so cool! I didn't mention it in my review because I usually want to verify any information I list there... and there are so many retro-urban-legends out there, if you see what I mean ;)

[SparTonberry]

AT FIRST THERE WAS DARK DRAGON, FALCHION, AND... Oh, that's the wrong game.

But anyways, no, Castlevania's Easy Mode was only in the Famicom cartridge version.

The only other US releases of Twinbee games that I know of are download-only: Detana!! Twinbee PCE released on Wii Virtual Console and the "3D Classic Twinbee" (based on the Famicom version of the first game) released on 3DS eShop.
Six stages to Moero Twinbee? I was so close to "beating" it then (is like the first game which just loops, I think?) It's like get the lasers and mulit-ship and you are a destruction machine, until one tiny little enemy bullet (which could even be obscured by the background on that last stage, as I recall) slips through.

Arg! Of course!! You're right about Castlevania, I have no idea why I said so in the review! Just fixed it, thanks mate!! :)

About Moero, I checked my notes and screenshots and I did a mistake there as well, there're actually seven stages... my bad... damn, I'm getting old. The game doesn't actually loop at the end, and there is an end sequence (nothing groundbreaking though) and staff roll. You're right, Moero becomes really challenging, especially when you die and lose all your power-ups... Gradius style... utterly painful. About the digital downloads, I never really include them in my reviews, but you make a good point as the 3DS version is not really a straight port if I remember well - you get to shoot more bullets at once right? I'm not sure what it is but the game felt 'busier' and 'smoother' than the original game, but I played it only once... I'll look into it.

Thanks again for pointing out these mistakes, I really appreciate it!!! :)

lkermel this is a sweet website, I've been referring to it lately since I'm mostly unfamiliar with the FDS beyond the obvious Kid Icarus, Metroid, Mario 2, etc.

New review and manual:

Meikyū Jiin Dababa - Famicom Disk (http://www.videogameden.com/fds.htm?mjd)

This review has been ready for a while and it was time to post it! If anyone knows about the elusive 6th Konami Card for Meikyū Jiin Dababa, please contact me! I've been looking for it for years without success... I don't think it exists, but let's hope I'm wrong :)

@Bratwurst
Thank you! I'm so happy that you like the site and that it's been helping you find interesting FDS games :) Here is a new game for you! I wish I had more free time to write additional FDS reviews, I still have dozens of FDS games in my collection that would need some love and be added to the site. Oh well, one at the time is still better that none ;)
