I’m making good progress with Sangokushi Koumeiden so I should have that post up next Saturday. Meanwhile, here’s the list of games I’ll be playing in the next three-month block, the first one that has no PC Engine games. This list was compiled from a variety of sources, some of which are rather generous in labelling something as an RPG. The bold ones are the ones I will actually play.
- Shiki Eiyuden – Another game based on Chinese history, but this one is earlier than Three Kingdoms.
- Demon of Laplace – This is a port of a computer game; it was also ported to PC Engine but this port is a total remake that changes the game from maze exploration to regular console JRPG style.
- Mystic Ark
- Danquest: Legend of the Seal of Demon God – I am not 100% sure that this counts as an RPG; it looks to me like it does but it could be in the Ruin Arm sphere; we’ll see.
- Emerald Dragon – I already played this on PC Engine.
- Ultima Savage Empire – This is a port of a western computer game.
- Super Magic Land WOZZ
- Brandish 2 – Out in English, plus I’m not sure it’s quite an RPG.
- Battle Robot Retsuden – SRPG
- Bounty Sword – SRPG
- Sailor Moon Another Story – Looking forward to this; I used to be a big fan of the series.
- Heian Fuunden – SRPG
- Magic Knight Rayearth – Two shojo manga games in a row.
- Metal Max Returns – A remake of the Famicom game.
- Verne World
- Wizardry VI – Western computer game port.
- Yamato Takeru
- Holy Umbrella: Dondera no Mubo – This is another one I am not 100% sure about, it does not look like it is quite an ARPG.
- Seiken Densetsu 3 – Yay!
Back next week.
