Valis II manual, backside

>>3170204
I didn't know EGG offered it up, though I am unfamiliar with the site as a whole. Thanks for pointing that out, though obviously I am not super-thrilled at the prospect of spending money! I don't think T&E Soft even exists anymore; I remember reading its lead designer ended up at M2 or something.

I agree that the PCE ost of Xak isn't the best version (for me that'd be the MSX2), but hey, that's the version I played. It was a decent game, but wildly unbalanced (I hear the PC versions were better in this regard).

Hydlide 3's music is great, yeah. It's impressive how the series went from 20s jingles to some really cool funky jams. Maybe they wanted to (sort of) end the series on a high note.

This next one isn't an RPG, but it's the very good PCE soundtrack to Valis II - probably the second-best soundtrack in the entire series (the first being the PC soundtrack to Valis II).

There weren't any track names I could find anywhere, so I had to crib some names from the PC soundtrack, as well as geekily pick things I thought fit.
