3D Dot Game Heroes loading screen homages (lots of pics)

[Holger Czukay]

I need help identifying these last loading screens in 3DDGH on the PS3. Figured this would work better here than in Modern Gaming since each screen is a tribute to the box art of a Famicom or Super Famicom game.

Does anyone recognize any of these?

Also, just for the hell of it, here's some that I actually know:

You can look at every pic I took of them, with corresponding box art, here:

Ha sweet! I didn't know those were supposed to be from covers of other rpgs! I can help you with the green dragon one, that's Bahamut Lagoon.

Bahamut Lagoon! I should've known. I think every major Square and Enix release is covered. Even a few non- RPGs are covered too. Only thing I know for sure is that none of them are Nintendo titles. Not even Zelda.

Wow, this is amazing! I never would have picked up on this.

Can you guys tell me, what are the Enix and Namcot games listed in this last post above me? I don't recognize those, but the covers are intriguing.

That's an easy one. Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together for the Super Famicom.

The only Namcot game I recognize is Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei 2. Its the one with the three demons and magic circle.

Hmmm, I never knew Namco was involved with that series. Too bad I'm pretty sure it would be unplayable for me since I don't understand Japanese.

Did you know that they started it? Even more interesting though, is that Wolfteam developed the series until Atlus took over with Shin Megami Tensei on the PC-Engine and Super Famicom. Wolfteam started the Tales series and later split into Tri-Ace and Tales Studio respectively. Cool story, isn't it? :D

Kyle, good looking out on the Tactics Ogre. I never thought to search for those.

The Enix game is Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (Portopia Murder Case) It was a PC game at first but got a Famicom port in 1985.

I was suprised there weren't more MegaTen homages besides the one pictured and this one:

Not to derail, but this is why I love digital press! I'm actually ashamed that I didn't already know that, but I don't see how I could considering the U.S. Only got any exposure to this series a few years ago.

Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy 1, and Final Fantasy 3 is all I would have known. Seeing that it's all Japanese box art and some doesn't really resemble anything unless you really think hard about it it's quite difficult. Though after realizing two Final Fantasy ones were in there, I would have probably got others.
