/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1434726
Thanks! Looks interesting, did you finish it already?

>>1434726
<333 THANK YOU OP <333`

Zero 4 Champ series (PC Engine). It's a drag racing game, kinda similar to the old Hot Rod on PC, you can custom your car and the game also offers a small storyline and some minigames. All the games are in japanese, but the first game is mostly in hiragana, so if you can deal with that you can play the game.

The second game is much more expansive and it has you travelling all over the US, it features even more minigames and more cars, this one isn't that straight forward as the first one, so it requires some reading comprehension in order to play.

>>1434726
Yeah it's a pretty neat Myst clone albeit short. No Japanese required either since it's English audio.

Mistmare is a roleplaying game from 2003 which, on it's release, suffered from several crippling bugs and terrible camera controls.
Most of this was fixed by patches but the damage had already been done.

After several very negative reviews (3/10 by IGN, for example) it was already forgotten by the time it had become playable.

The game however isn't actually that bad.
It's just very mediocre compared to other similar games like The Summoner, Neverwinter Nights or Vampire Redemption.

Still, the world is interesting enough to at least give it a try,
if you can find a copy, that is.

>>1434773
downloading, thanks!

This was a game that I got as a gift when I was a lot younger, and ever since then I haven't heard a thing about it.
I don't remember much about it, other than it being a point-and-click adventure game in the same vein of Myst, but I remember it being extremely interesting.

It was slightly edutainment, though in the sense that it made simple science into full-blown puzzles, and I remember it working decently enough, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere since.

>>1434726
Thank you very much, OP! I've been looking everywhere for that ISO, you're awesome.

Trippy.

That looks like the kind of game Osamu Sato would make.

>>1434816
exactly, I hope Daniel Auld releases its English version.

>>1434805
I'm trying it out, it looks pretty fun. However, when I get to the face and show him the invitation the game shuts down. Am I supposed to be able to get past this part, and if so how?

those rails reminded me of Balance

Tangible atmosphere, palpable if you're into that particular genre.

I found a ps1 game with case and manual not that long ago named Forsaken
Its a 3rd person flyer/shooter with pretty asshanded controls

BUMP

this is amazing, OP. I love folks who provide something instead of me or us dealing with dead torrents and trackers.

Nemesis: The Wizardry Adventure

I tried to find a decent download for this particular adventure game which supposedly consists of 5 CDs. Some idiots though it would be great to make a seperate torrent for every CD-ROM there is. If somebody has a decent download link, it would be great. it's pretty much the only Wizardry game I haven't played yet and I think it's rare these days too since I don't know where to find it.

The only download I found for this is so slow that it would take two weeks to download this game and I'm not even sure how save the site is.

Thanks, OP. I remember seeing this here a long time ago but I'd forgotten about it.

>>1434797
speaking of adventure games in general.

Did anybody on /vr/ ever played Master of Dimensions? I did as a teen and I would like to run it again but I couldn't do so via dosbox. It was published by Eidos Interactive as far as I recall and is quite interesting because it focuses, as the name says, on dimension travel so you have different and varied settings. I bet this game is hard to find but I'm not exactly sure about it. Downloads are avaible though. Getting it to run on a modern OS is the bigger issue.

http://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/pr1tl/fotw_found_master_of_dimensions_a_rare_pc_big_box/

there was also a thread about a guy finding this game somewhere and bought it for fucking 200 bucks on ebay which might be way too much for it.

>>1435745
>bought it for fucking 200 bucks on ebay

pardon me, I didn't read correctly, it was not him since he bought it for 3 dollars at the thrift store.

More than rare, this would be something people doesnt know about a specific game. Imperial Prince on PC-FX was made by the same people that made Sorcerian, Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu and other Falcom games up to 1993. And it has lot's of gameplay elements from those games.

>>1434858
You aren't trying to enter on the invitation of an idiot are you?
Don't enter on an invitation from an idiot. Get your invitation from a different personality. The personalities are the different seahorses, sipping tea, wearing a buffalo, etc.. Apparently they're all idiots except Butts the "where did I put my cigarettes" guy

Also the "demo over" screen I put in the screen shots was what I got right after passing the face and getting the explanation about the book. When I tried again I didn't get the demo over screen but was taken outside to a cone that lead to a tunnel and bridge that looked like DNA molecules. There's more to the demo than I was originally able to reach.

>>1435731
i love this kind of game, i'm working on to provide a full download links

bump

Well garage has been held up for a week from arrival, rang them up and there was a processing error. Awesome. Sent out today or tomorrow.

>>1436510
From Japan or USA?

>>1436510
I wish I could say this came as a shock but this whole thing seems to be jinxed.

>>1436536
in japan. took a week to get there, and now a week to get out of there. everything else is ready to go, it will enjoy a day trip of ~12 hours in USA.

>>1435063
anyone got a link? looks interesting

>>1435967
goddamn do I want that manual

From here will be shifting to assemblergames for all developments. Translators and other gurus float around there and can polish all the edges towards lsd, chu teng and garage translation and so on. gg?

>>1435967
>i'm working on to provide a full download links

you're a saint, dude.

>>1436552
I have the original game on disc.

>>1436690
rip k

Actually have this game with me. I have no idea what it's about other than that it is very strange.

also gameplay footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3kkOaxXdM

>>1436690
rip and upload please!

>>1436605
i'm happy to see you in this thread

Most of these aren't strange or special, they're just bad games masquerading as something more than what they actually are. They're z-movies of video games.

I don't mean to troll. What I mean to say is, there's killer7, and then there's this >>1436757.

>>1436787
Well, OP only asked for Rare/Obscure games. I mean, chances are the reason a game is rare is either because a.) the game sold so well that it's hard to find physical copies of today (which cancels out the obscure category) or b.) the game sold so poorly that it was not very mass-produced. That being said, a good 90% of obscure/rare games out there are going to be bland, dull or uninteresting. Of course, that's really based off opinion more than anything. One man's Myst rip-off can be another man's holy grail of obscure gaming.

>Most of these aren't strange or special
>strange or special

"rare and obscure" doesn't necessarily imply that. Learn to read. I think your comment is pretty insulting to everybody who posted something. it's rare if you can't find it anywhere or in very few places and it's obscure because nobody knows much about it, barely ever talks about it or is just nothing more than a cover for most people with a completely unknown game behind it.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/25yyuppqy9a1ad8/Isabelle.iso

An irritating mother, a hypocritical girlfriend, a sadistic brother in law, brutal guards, a cop for a father in law: here are some of the people who live in the village of Crison. You really want to kick their asses, even your girlfriend's, Isabelle, but you have to save the village from More, who rules the place with his fisgusting thugs.
You can be both George, who is blind, or his younger brother Raymond, a little brat. If you are smart enough, you will use Raymond's qualities and subvert the village against More.

>>1436879
yes.
I have the disc too.

>>1436945
thanks, gunna check this out.

>>1434726
This is fucking top-notch dude, thank you.

When I get home I'll upload another obscure game. Pic Related.

Are the any videos of Necrobius? I can't really try out the demo right now.

>>1434753
it looks so dumb to have cuffs without any sleeves. Do people actually find this hot?

>>1437348
stop being entilted.

>>1436787
Just because a game is bad, or bad by todays standards, or bad by your standards doesn't mean it's not strange or special. It also doesn't mean it's not worth saving. For me that's mostly what this is all about. I might not enjoy every game here but I like preserving for other who might.

>>1437291
I recorded a few when did screen shots but they're probably just a bunch of random wandering around. I'll do one that walks through what I've found in the demo so far. I have a bunch of stuff going on this weekend so it'll be a couple days before I can post it.

>>1437348
There's a reason for the cuffs and also you're not supposed to be looking at the cuffs.

>>1437009
waiting for this one, which platform?

Anyone interested in Glove in Fight ? I got the disc.

>>1438105
>you're not supposed to be looking at the cuffs
We're not 14 anymore, seeing boobs shouldn't give you instant tunnel vision.

>>1438572
i fucking love pantyhose and asian girls... and yes i love boobs too but this is not the right place for a discuss like this.

>>1438565
Sure, please do!

Can someone do some playthrough of Isabelle ?
I'm curious.

of course, with NullDC for exemple.

>>1439067
Thanks I didnt know about that

>>1434797
I remember getting this for Christmas so long ago. This, and some other Myst-y science game. It's a shame I didn't get more into them.

this is sort of related but anyway:

theres this game from my childhood that i cant find (and cant remember the name of) that we played on the old macintosh bubble computers. it was a puzzle/platformer, you were a robot that got around on one wheel. thats all i got. anyone have any idea what it might be?

This is going to take a while

The first of 3 ISOs ready for your downloading

https://www.mediafire.com/?8ozarl6rc1pafcd

But, some IRL backstory:

Thirteen years ago Horse was 23, the author of two books, on his way to being named Scotland's author of the year - and in desperate need of money. Getting published (and paid) would have taken too long. His solution: create an ancient-looking, lavishly illustrated, "lost" manuscript about the days after the destruction of Atlantis, then attempt to convince an antiquarian book dealer it was genuine. It worked beyond his expectations: Christie's appraised it at $20,000 and the dealer approached a publisher.

"He thought he'd found the next H.G. Wells or Jules Verne," Horse says. "The book not only had accounts of secret ancient societies but also had startlingly accurate references to World Wars I, II and III, plus nuclear fission and the equation for relativity." But the hoax soon unraveled. By chance the dealer went to Horse's publisher, who immediately recognized his illustration style. Horne talked his way out of jail and promised never to publish the material in the book.

That would have been the end of the story, had Horse not seen two breakthrough CD-ROMs - Myst and 7th Guest - 10 years later, in 1993. "I thought, 'I can do that.' They combined my interest in puzzles and cryptograms with my illustration, writing, and story-telling skills." Horse chose to break his promise. "It wasn't worth the paper it was written on," he says. "I was only 23 then and quite frightened about going to jail."

Horse and Algy Williams, who has a background in TV production, have assembled an eclectic team: another illustrator, a sculptor, a designer of "fiendishly difficult" puzzles featured in the London Times, a graphics and programming team from Epic Multimedia, and two musicians who go by the name of Miasma. "The graphics are photo-realistic and the audio and sound effects are stunning," says Williams.

>>1443516

>>1443531

>>1443710

I'll be uploading this in 4 parts: The 3 Isos, and some extras (a patch needed to play, the scanned manual, box art, etc)

https://www.mediafire.com/?adfb1pb2rlxytdd

Some game backstory:

The Bible and Darwin were both wrong.

That is the premise of Drowned God, a point-and-click, hi-res graphic adventure that will rattle a few cages and get plenty of ink. "It's obviously a contentious subject," says the game's producer, Algy Williams. "If we piss off a few zealots, so much the better."

The game purports that many thousands of years ago an alien race from Orion not only genetically engineered humans but also guided their social and scientific development. Then along came the great flood, erasing much of that work and concealing the world's greatest artifacts: the Rod of Osiris (the Egyptian god of the dead), the Holy Grail, the Philosopher's Stone, and the Ark of the Covenant.

Your challenge is to visit the four earthly and spiritual realms in which these items can be found, unlock a labyrinth of puzzles, and complete several tasks to gather them one by one. Sound like your basic treasure hunt? It's not - far from it.

"We are aiming for a totally immersive experience, a quest for knowledge," says Williams. "Basically you are uncovering a huge government and church conspiracy that has seriously altered human history."

Conspiracy theorists and other denizens of the alt.alien.conspiracy newsgroup will recognize many of the ideas presented in Drowned God: the Philadelphia Experiment, the Roswell alien autopsy, the alien race known as the "Greys," and pyramids on Mars. The game also disputes public perceptions about the Kennedy assassination, Leonardo da Vinci's inventions, and how Einstein formulated the theory of relativity.

>>1443742
From what someone said it doesn't run on a virtual drive, but he might not have had the patch installed. I'd just burn it anyway because CDs are like 6 bucks a pack.

>>1434726
hg101 just put a new article on the tong nou games. and they gave us a shoutout
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/chuteng/chuteng.htm

>Well, that's what fans thought before some guys from 4chan's /vr/ board - who can do great stuff when they don't spend their time insulting each other - decided they would put their hand on this game, whatever the costs. After having turned the Internet upside down, experiencing a frustrating refusal to rip the game from the only Japanese collector known to own it and getting the word from Sato himself that the game was so damn rare that even he didn't have a copy, it seemed like a lost cause. And it would have been, if not for a sudden and unbelievable stroke of luck. As the gang of anons was scrutinizing every corner of the Internet, some guy came out of nowhere claiming a copy of the game was lying around somewhere in his attic. Very few people were convinced that this was the truth. Yet, what seemed like a tease proved to be entirely true. So, that is the story of how Chu-Teng was brought back to civilization - technically, by a random guy who happened to be browsing 4chan at the right time. So, now this game is finally available to mankind, what is there to say of it?

This part is pretty accurate, I guess. Though /vr/ is a bit friendlier than usual.

>>1443816
It didnt came out?

I thought it was for download..

Moon Cradle, it's a sci-fi FMV adventure game released originally on 3DO, and it was later ported to Sega Saturn.

The main character is a detective and he has to investigate the dissapearence of a woman. Unlike most japanese adventure games, Moon Cradle uses isometric camera with 2D graphics and FMV for the actions. It has a pretty nasty mechanic, since the ending you'll get has a relation with a score meter that you can't see until the end of the game. Still, it's a pretty short game.

>>1443772

Man, PlayStation in Japan was a much different console.

I feel like there are so many of these weird-as-fuck games for JP PS that we didn't even get CLOSE to getting here in the states.

I've always been an obscure Saturn collector, maybe I should start looking more into PS.

one of the best puzzle games I've EVER played.

I saw a game called Monster Racers for DS and was intrigued by it, and found out the game had several Japan-only iterations.
The DS game is similar to Pokemon but instead of fight, you race in a 2D platformer "hold right to win" style.
The older games look less interactive and the monsters look more simplistic, but still sort of interesting.
GB - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWagBx8xq-w (you can see how little they tried to make the tiles different from Pokemon)
PSX - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zZxv10pc9k
DS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN1hVgLZlxk (they edited Pokemon music over the audio)

Quite interesting how many of these obscure games are early 3D/FMV first person adventure games from the 1990s.

>>1442086
it's a pure adventure though, anon. Just from what I've seen.

>>1444201

MUH NGIGGA

That game is one of my favorite Saturn games I own.

Hey bebeh.
repackaged in an amazon box, labelled a movie, in a oversized box with deviating declaration form to avoid zealous australian customs.

I mean it should be fine without the effort but im not putting a 810 USD game in any risk to a government furnace because of boobs in a game.

Can expect soon, baught some VHS tapes which should get there by the end of the week, until then woop.

>>1446219
[BONER INTENSIFIES]

>>1446219
not doing anything illegal or alarmed to say any of that, declarations are normally scrutinised for businesses and so. On the off chance it actually is material that isnt allowed its worth a precaution. Plus it looks cool? A week and it should be out there depending on other items to be put inside the huge box.

Sweet! Very much looking forward to it :D

Every summer when a lot of my old friends come back to our hometown, we have Tokimeki Puzzle money matches.

Shit is so fun.

That fucking versus song never gets old.

Does any one know the name of that weird Japanese game, I think it was called garbage or something.

>>1448305
10/10 made me laugh

>>1448335
No sir, It wasnt a joke. It was a rare game that had a limited run in the US. I thought the title was Garbage or something similar.

>>1448348
You don't mean Garage do you? Granted I don't know anything about that game.

a lot of these games are pretty creepy.

>>1448646
Obscure 90s arthouse adventure games usually are. Use of FMV just makes it worse.

>>1448736
I didnt know about this FMV, I couldn't find too mcuh about this could you telll me a little more about this technic?

>>1449269
full motion video, a lot of games did it cheaply by having the video files split into low quality, high compression JPEG images, usually with a 22khz sound file accompanying it. The frame rates were low, the quality was poor, and the codecs even poorer. But full motion video in a game was exciting at the time and some developers really took advantages of the possibilities. Looking Glass Studios for example, flourished in it with their magnum opus, Thief the Dark Project.

Others' efforts ranged from abstract, experimental, faithful, corny, silly, and generally fun.

Some creepy, intentionally at times, not always however.

>>1439050
This game is definitely worth checking out - BUT some of the puzzles are so arbitrary that you need to have a guide to get anywhere.

I haven't finished it, though. There's a part where you have to race this one creature, but it's stupid hard and you have to wait 5 minutes or so before being able to try the race again.

>>1449289
Thanks, I didnt know about that and it seems a old way to make some exciting things

>>1443791
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Holy shit it's Vaporwave: The Game.

Anyone have a link for Gaogaigar Blockaded Numbers?

>>1436802
Soundtrack is top notch, especially later on. It's like Rayman Legend shoot em up.

I think I literally just threw out my copy of I Saw A Strange Little Man a while ago. Was that rare?

>>1449642
You already finished it ? I remember this game being hard a s fuck.

How is that Isabelle game ?

>>1449658
No but from the video. Looking forward to try it though. I hope it's not that hard.

Damn, Anon, thank you so much for posting this, you're a godsend. Really looking forward to it.

I actually wanted to find it on old-games dot com originally, so I don't know if the .ru and them belong together but since I have no account there, the downloading would have taken ages. This is much better. Maybe I just didn't look further enough searching for it.

Thanks again!

>>1450063

i reupload this on mediafire

WELL totally distracted from garage, but is there interest in a fan mod of LSD? I figured making it english autistic is far too consuming and voids it of its style.

I might upload the textures to a weebly site, and take in suggestions for fan textures and pick the best?

As for chu teng i will do my last polish of in game text and upload all my resources for anyone interested in bringing it to retail quality.

Ill kick up a weebly soon though.

This is a japan only game.
The entire voice over is in english and coems with an english mode.

My friend Phins on nintendo age will dump the game iso today. It arrived in the mail last night.

Its not rare, but Icant find a download online.

Does anyone have the full game not the shareware of Crayola 3D castlemaker

Like hell i am going to let this thread die. Bump!

So... anyone know where to get an iso of this?

I wanna eat, it's so beautiful.

bump!

I dont know if you guys can help me, but I remember playing a N64 game where you could enter in people's mind,

but I can't remember the name or more details about the game, I just remember it was made in japan.

Sorry, I know this isnt the place to ask for something like this but I've been following these threads for almos a month now

>>1456026
There weren't that many Jap only N64 games. So that probably narrows it down a bit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_64_games

Sort by 'regions released'. Maybe you'll have some luck?

>>1456028
sorry, but I dont know how I could remember right before your post, I was trying to remember for a long time, anf if you wanted to know it was dual hearts

thanks anyway

>Poinie's Poin

I discovered this game a few years ago and imported it for my girlfriend. She loved every minute of it, especially the eclair animals you chase around to gobble up and restore health and that little bakery store that has a hundred of them running around inside. The gameplay is surprisingly solid despite appearances. The dub is pretty hilarious too, especially for the Poinie Tail whose VA did a surprisingly solid job of Cartman. He's a western actor in Japan who speaks English and Japanese fluently and who also I believe translated the game and wrote the English script which is flagrantly non-PG. It has a ton of bizarre terms and crazy language, guaranteed to catch you off guard, something that could only fly in early 2000s Japan.

Anyways, it's not retro but I approve of an ISO dump because this game is rare as shit and impossible to find on the net except on the occasional Yahoo Japan auction. I hope your friend succeeds.

>>1459193
rip first, apologize later. Games that dont exist is a pretty retro thing.

>>1459204
>Games that don't exist
What?

>>1455018
>game from 2002
>has a consistent framerate and great graphics
>PS2 is a toaster compared to the GameCube or Xbox, but it has MANY games that look exponentially better than anything they could offer

>a game from 2002 looks better than games currently released
>6th generation games, including GameCube multiplats, look better than "current gen" games

>>1458240
made me laugh when I saw that.

>>1459224
If i cant play it, it doesnt exist. k

You can add Lorna for the PC: only 2 persons have it in Europe, and the abandonware version lack the 3rd disc.

>>1459229
"better" is subjective

On drowned god my install thing will get to 45% then just disappear

Now its at "Installing activemovie" for a while

>>1459281
Does that mean if you suck hard at a game it only half way exists?

>>1436757
This was actually a heavily promoted Dreamcast launch title. Not even remotely obscure.

>>1443154
Quagmire.

>>1459909
no help?

>>1460274
Same problem, can't get passed the activemovie install, might be from trying to install it from a virtual drive though...

BUT, i did find out that installing just patch 4 seems to be enough for the game to start,
So far ive gotten to binah and the game crashes when going to the armored torso or the tower,
probably from the virtual drive too.

>>1460331

This game looks so crisp and clean and adorably playable, like a refined version of that one Xenogears mini-game with the mechs.

>>1460041
Hah wow, that's actually it! Thanks!

"LORNA de TopoSoft par Jorge Azpiri.

Valeur du jeu rapport à sa rareté : 155 euros.

Il n'y a que 2 personnes dont moi qui le possèdent en Europe.
L'autre est espagnol. Aucun collectionneur même parmi les plus gros
ne l'ont dans leur collection.

C'est une superbe pièce car tout le package, le manuel, le poster ont été

Which mean:
>LORNA from TopoSoft by Jorge Azpiri.

There is only 2 people including me who have this game in Europe.
The other is spanish. No collector even among the biggest don't have this one.

It's a superb object because all of the packagning, the manual, the poster were drawn by Jorge Azpiri, it's magnificent as the artwork from Luis Royo, who is also very great.

Also, you can try the abandonware version, and see by yourself how the game get a ERROR DISCO 3 at the end of the first level.

>>1460331
Looks like japanese moe twisted metal.

not-so-retro by the rules (2001), but i'll post it here anyway

Original War!

A very unique strategic gem, which rather than massing units like in C&C focuses more on smaller squads, each of your soldier with his own personality. Good tactical combat, cool rpg elements, neat story. I can't recommend this game enough.

>>1459782
How do you install it to begin with? Do I need to be running DOSBox or Windows 95?

>>1461062
Mounting the disc and waiting a fuck long time after the first thing crashes at 45% for it to come back up again

>>1461301
Well I mounted the first iso and it said that my system doesn't support 16-bit systems which is why I asked about using Win 95. Also I just saw that the extras folder has the isos too, which means I have downloaded each iso separately and then again in the extras file.

We should make videos of thoses games.

confirmed arrival of garage latest tuesday. away from pc for no trips

Makamaka is pretty obscure. It really is a true hidden gem.

>>1462630

Best RPG on the system no doubt about it.

>>1462630
>search for makamaka

what do?

>>1462662

Download and read from the very beginning of course.

>>1462668
Yeah. Here we go again. Here is a link.

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Maka-Maka?confirm=yes

>>1462630
Supposedly, Makamaka suffers from a lot of minor, but nonetheless devastating bugs. It even has a bug that refuses to load the credits screen properly, leading many to believe this game to have no credits.

>>1462630
Is...is that Ultraman?

you know, garage is just going to be a virus for you plebs.

>>1463014
But i want to believe anon.

>>1463014
What you say?

>>1463014
implying it wont be 4G of cat pics

>>1461545
this, please. It would keep the thread alive.

>>1461545
I second that, it musn't be a Lets Play, just gameplay footage of your "rare" games

>>1463417
Yes. There isn't even a single video of Isabelle on youtube, for exemple.

>>1443710

There's a Youtube longplay of this and starting like halfway in there is some guy in posting alone in the comments getting legitimately upset by the many conspiracies presented in the game while simultaneously ranting about his own pet theory. It's pretty amusing considering how he is literally the only commentor in many of the videos.

>>1461475
Can anyone help?

Good news all! I got a copy of Necrobius from Daniel Auld and he has agreed to let me share it around! .iso coming in the very shortly, uploading it now :D

Trying to get this working in SheepShaver, but it's not letting me open either the locked .mac or .ppc files... Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

>>1465131
did you try unlocking it?

>>1465136

Yep, I've gotten that far but now I just get 'The document "NCROBIUS.PPC" could not be opened, because the application program that created it could not be found.'

I am a total noob when it comes to Macs.

>>1465138
im away from my mac but you will need to change the dataforks that would have been lost when creating a windows iso. try typeshuffler.

dycaite you should make a clonecd image to preserve dem dataforks

>>1465143
>dycaite you should make a clonecd image to preserve dem dataforks

I'll get on it.

>>1465148
sexy party

>>1465143
Do I have to change any of the settings, or will the default CloneCD settings preserve the data forks?

>>1465186
clonecd just does 1:1 standard settings should be fine. will need a mac mounting through daemon tools maybe for sheepshaving

or rip to a dmg once the disk is burnt on a mac

>>1465192
Yeah i think sheepshaver struggles with actual cds a clonecd image would be a great base iso and preserve every bit of this suprise discovery

>>1465205
Best ripped in Game CD mode, right?

>>1465213
seems legit

>>1465213
>>1465230

i never quite understood the difference between clonecds ripping modes, what difference does it make to the image?

All i know is copy protected option does a deep dive and takes longer probably. Other than that its probably just header information?

>>1465241
Maybe I should just rip it in copy protected game mode then, to be safe.

>>1465249
meh its next level shit but all the same
>>1465235
checked it out for curiousity seems audio cds do a cue sheet otherwise its the same file types for the others

>>1466529
drag installer to desktop, punch screen.
Meanwhile the mac version is not friendly i have tried to get it to run but its giving quite the grief. dycaite you should see if he has a clue whats wrong with the mac thing, if it needs dataforks or some other bs ?

>>1466670
aand after a circle jerk with the isos and clonecd, i got it working. it had some noob copy protection on it i think, either way uploading mac iso for basilisk ii

>>1466529
Windows 7 might be issues, apparently its a little glitchy just load up compatibility where you can.

this game is pretty weird. Its too dense for my style, would like to see a full playthrough of it someday.

Anyone have the iso ?

>>1473112
Is this a PC game?

This game is pretty hard. This is as far as I've got if anyone wants to share more.

Clicking a certain ball in the conduit room lets you teleport to certain areas, one being this bridge that appears only when you do this. There is a ketchup bottle in an outhouse, and after going through the director project the little squares lead to you getting another book.. On the right there is a building of teleport types after clicking a box with only one pathway working bringing you back to where you started.

Other than that, click the right place in the dome to get a book, and copy the music from what you see, and get it right the first time and you got 2 books. The cauldron puts the books back.

Anyone get further feel free to share. Theres a gun which has three angles and colours, and another shape which gives out a sonic boom thing i have no idea.

Assuming this is the torrent you were referring to:
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4897852/Obsidian_PC_Game_1996_English_5_CDs

Rama: A late 90's "Myst in space" from Sierra.

Easily one of my favorites, they managed to create a captivating world, alongside good graphics and music. Don't let the mathematical puzzles put you down.

It isn't hard to find the isos, but if anyone wants a rip + scans (pic related, reduced quality to post), feel free to ask.

Game works fine in DOSBox.

>>1454701
I bought that from Right Stuff years ago for $5. Later threw out the box, at the urging of my brother, to save shelf space. Never was able to get it to play.

Damn, by PC-Engine standards, that game is fucking beautiful as hell

By yeah, definitely seems like a game series that should have been brought over to the west

Has garage arrived yet?

anyone familiar with the point-and-click first person PC game THE ARRIVAL? It's based on the Charlie Sheen movie. Basically MYST in space. It is impossible to find online. There aren't even screenshots.

>>1476110
very soon

>>1476115
do want

This is a pretty interesting game so far, OP. It's a blatant Myst clone, but one of the more creative ones to say the least.

God-tier soundtrack, too.

And by crashing i mean sheepshaver completely, not the game inside the OS

>>1477057
You might have to install Japanese support manually when you install the OS, but I'm pretty sure it is included.

>>1477063
>>1477065

oh well i guess we'll find out shortly..

>>1477068
Youre going to have to rip the game to a mac volume, as its a hybrid it might take some time to do that if no one has a mac handy, and mounting CDs through basilisk or sheepshaver is impossible. But the more friendly XP/98 option should be fine until then.

>have lack of bandwidth, hauled a little ass to get this up and out there.

>>1477071
Yeah. According to Tomomi Sakuba's website, the game should run fine in Windows XP SP1 (which I've got setup through VirtualBox).

>>1477072
You're doing God's work, friend :)

>>1477126

>>1477126
#getaProp should be trending on Twitter now.

#getaProp should be trendings on Twitter.

>>1477127
Gunna give it a crack on Windows 98 SE through VB. Will report back results.

>>1477091
you're gonna make some video of this.

>>1477091
This is almost as good as when I was randomly browsing an old Chu-teng thread and the attic guy showed up while I was there

>>1477145
the attic guy?

>>1477147
The dude who randomly had that game in his attic or was it his garage, i forget

indian guy rang me up about my internet.
will upload dat DMG for mac emu

>>1477157
Thanks man, will hopefully have more success with that than I have had with getting it to run in Windows.

>>1477160
Im pretty sure its reading the files with their japanese names and coming out like AEROEWU2#!@O$HGUIJIQUIJIBO

>>1477160
P.S. For those wondering, Windows 98 SE wasn't any more successful, still giving the #getaProp error (not to mention that 98 is painfully slow through VirtualBox).

Maybe need japanese macos 8.6 for a sexy party.

ability to read file names not webpages or what have you could be the difference

Got it working in Windows XP! Had to change all Regional and Language options to Japanese, not just the Text Services and Input Languages

>>1477180
gw

>>1477180
Scratch that, you don't need to change them all to Japanese. Here's how I got it to work:

-Install Windows XP SP1 in VirtualBox
-Go to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options
-Click the Languages tab
-Tick "Install Files for East Asian Languages
-Click Details under Text Services and Input Languages
-Click advanced then tick "Extend Support of Advanced Text Services to all Programs"
-Click OK
-Click the advanced tab of the Regional and Language Options window
-Change "Language for non-unicode Programs to Japanese.
-Hit apply and restart.

The game should now work (still throws up a weird error on launch, but works perfectly after dismissing the message, no more #getaProp errors). Some of these steps are probably not needed, but I can't be assed figuring out which ones do and don't need to be enabled; this is how I got it working.

for sheepshaver once someone gets the settings.

Man how I wish I knew japanese right now.

>>1477232

This is some medical treatment facility somewhere.
You are receiving treatment in a machine called Garage
What are you getting treated?
Why do you have yo get treated?
You dont know anything about that.

When Garage starts you get a little dizzy and you get thrown into
a strange world.
There you find out that you have a machine-like body and a letter
signed by someone named "Shen".
The letter said "Escape from this world. This is not the right world".

It could also work with applocale, but I already have that setting activated because some old games wont show up text even using applocale.
