This game was pretty fun, but holy shit did they rush it halfway through. It feels like the last 4 out of 6 levels were all about 3 minutes long each. What happened, did they just run out of time?

(Game is "Dragon Egg!" for the PC Engine)

I believe so, and we never got the sequel promised in the credits.

Ya know, I didn't take that as a lead-in to a sequel, but I suppose you are right. (I'm assuming you are referring to the "See you next time" or similar in the credits)

Yeah, it's a shame really.
I love charming little game like this and I wanted to see more of the lil lass and her dragon.

Before opening the thread I thought it was some obscure game I've never heard of with Toriyama's artwork

yeah, masaya had some weirdly unpolished games on the pce
for example, shubibinman 3 has very high production values yet also feels like a beta

play liquid kids next, that shit is fire

it's a weirdly easy game, yet if you die once, the game becomes impossible (you're stuck as the little girl with zero range)

OK anon, I'll give Liquid Kids a go. It's not related to Toilet Kids, is it? (๑•﹏•)

No, it's a sidescroller where you throw water bombs to stun enemies, and then you stomp on them. Similar to Bubble Bobble. Except you can get a shitload of powerups.

>>10131750
That reminds me, I recently tried Pop'n Magic for the first time, and holy shit is that game punishing. If you get hit once, or god forbid die in one of the later levels, you are basically fucked. What was with the whole shtick of making the game impossible when the player dies? I remember being confused and frustrated by that even growing up in the early 90s.

nah, its a spiritual sequel to new zealand story, but plays more like a side-scrolling bubble bobble

the pce port is pretty good. they cut some of the branching levels, cutscenes and day/night graphics but its a far far better port than new zealand story is, and has all the enemies/bosses/main levels and most of the warps. it's also easier than the arcade version because the fire doesn't spread across tiles

its very rare, you'll wanna emulate it

>Fushigi no Yume no Alice

If you want another "cute" PC Engine title, there's this Alice in Wonderland themed game.

He never said to learn the whole language or anything, and considering that a lot of retro games are Japanese, it's a useful skill to learn
