Check this: AFAICT undumped Usagi na Panic EX - a CD compilation that includes 1 + 2 (presumably identical to disk versions, but who knows?) plus a Takarabako extra (presumably undumped). Only copy I've ever seen pop up :^) #PC98

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Found these really cute design sketches for Adol and Lilia from Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys. These were drawn by the game's illustrator, Yukitoshi Hotani, and were sourced from the September 1993 issue of Dengeki PC Engine.

New blog post time!
This week's game is Puzzle Kana?, a PC-88 doujin Sokoban game with a twist or two to offer. Not only are you pushing plenty of blocks, you're pushing balls into holes too! Cute intermissions break things up nicely as well.
And yes, the question mark is part of the game's title:

This '90s PC game's one-of-a-kind combination of puzzles and RPG heroics was the perfect way to jumpstart my brain for the new year
Is Sabnack a head-scratcher or an adventure? Well, why not both?

The PC Engine's first strategy game was Gaia no Monshou which was also the first PC Engine game by Masaya. Gaia no Monshou is a bit of a bridge between classic wargames and strategy RPGs and it's follow-up was Langrisser, one of the biggest strategy game franchises of the 90s.

So, I still need a job. I've been unemployed for almost two years now, and I can only sell so many of my video games to cover bills before I run out of games.
Who's looking to hire a writer? Fiction, non-fiction, UI text, proofreading; I'll work within any limitations you have. I am inexpensive.
