[Blitzwing256]

Cadash didn't make me puke.

[MrSmiley381]

Dragon Force.

I think I hated just about everything else they did. I liked Dragon Force because of the storyline and combat, which I don't think Working Designs technically had anything to do with.

Just my $0.02.

Curse you for stealing my post. Fine, I'll vote for Iron Storm. Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't throw in some animuphile crap in it

To further throw some positive juju at Working Designs (who, for the most part, I outright hated and was glad to see die off), they did improve Alundra a good bit for the US release. Screwing with monster tables and such is normally a good way to fuck up a perfectly good game (example: Exile 2, also localized by Vic), but cutting the boss fight lengths in half was a damned good thing.

...and I know they're not a super big name developer, but if you could find it in your heart to give a day to Monolith (the No One Lives Forever guys!), I'd love you forever

[milhouseOFpain]

i enjoyed most of the games that Working Designs brought over. i didnt get instantly excited when i saw their logo on a game, but i did look forward to what they would do next. my favorite game developed by would probably be


Dungeon Explorer

[Kid Ice]

Raystorm (PSX)

[Austin]

I'll second RayStorm.

[j_factor]

I have to say, I really really enjoyed Exile: Wicked Phenomenon.

[smork]

I'd say either of the PSX Lunars or the Growlanser pack for the PS2.

If I can sorta cheat and say any game they were associated with, I'd say Silhouette Mirage. Mind you, i've only played the JP Saturn version, and I understand the PS port is pretty bad, but I quite like the game.

It's not the Playstation port that's bad (it's not as good as the Saturn version, but it's pretty damn far from bad), it's the US localization of the Playstation version that sucks

Piggybacking on Exile, that game was pretty damn awesome. I should play through the end portion again to see if that small graphical glitch during the ending is still present in the newer builds of Mednafen.

Shame about the second one. Even Vic admits that he royally fucked up the localization on the second game, which is really telling since that assclown was always super defensive over his work.

edit - oh wait, you ARE talking about the second game. How on earth could you enjoy that unbalanced fucking mess? Hell, the core game wasn't even as nice as the first ...it seemed like a lazy sequel, with cut and paste town designs and generic music. Plus, the hitbox was seriously messed up on your character, so ducking was absolutely pointless because you were still going to get hit.

[Xexyz]

Alundra

[Aussie2B]

Of what I've played, I'd probably go with RayStorm. Yes, I am nuts about RPGs, but I feel Working Designs was often scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as what Japan had to offer (that is, what wasn't already picked up for localization by bigger companies). While I still haven't played several of their games, so I admit ignorance on some, the RPGs I have played didn't thrill me that much.

Day 1: Working Designs

Mine favorite game published and translated from them is Lunar 2: enteral Blue -ps 1

[roushimsx]

Day 2: I love you!

Tron 2.0

My third favorite first person shooter ever and easilly in my top 10 games ever. Inventive use of the license (really expanding on the universe) with that special "Monolith look" in the characters and animation. As is par for most Monolith games, it's got some flat out amazing level designs (hard drive format!) and creative weapons (nothing beats the claw!). The game encourages replayability without resorting to Rare-like tactics and has a truely memorable final battle.

If there's one thing the game could be faulted on, it's the ending. The game was set up for an expansion pack that it'll never get because the game sold like complete shit on both PC and Xbox You can't go wrong with either version!

Disclaimer: I've yet to play FEAR or Condemmed because I have a ghetto PC. That'll be rectified next month

Actually, I did mean the first one, I just confused myself. Although I don't think the second is as bad as people say.

[milhouseOFpain]

Condemned by default - i am pretty sure its the only game by them that i have played

[7th lutz]

Day 2: Monolith

Here is a list games this developer has done: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/6173.html

[milhouseOFpain]

Toaplan = Batsugan, a Saturn shooter that i am actually pretty ok at. mainly because its one of the easier ones. someone will say Zero Wing because of the "all your base" stuff i am sure.

[DeputyMoniker]

I havent played any of their titles but I think they deserve credit for helping bring Tron back. I heard it was pretty good too.

[7th lutz]

Day 3: Toaplan

Toaplan used to make arcade games and a couple game console games.

Here is a list of the games they made.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/46146.html

Some of these games on that list, you may recongize on game consoles, Like Zero wing, Twin Cobra to name a couple.

My favorite game is M.U.S.H.A. -Genesis. Truxton, Snow Brothers and Hellfire close behind.
