that building is pretty impressive but if the floors are mostly like that i feel like my eyes would hurt after playin a while

>>9236546
I have heard of it and I don't know if I bothered to DL a translation patch or not. Crummy tile art.

>>9236546
I played, Tao, amazing setting and potential but terrible gameplay and the translation was weird

>vap 1988
>dying to play
no lol

>>9236546
>itching to play a shitty Famicom RPG
Even the Famicom Dragon Quest games feel clunky, call me when you find an obscure and neat little Super Famicom RPG instead

>>9236621
OP's game would be much better if it was more like DQ

>obscure
>Famicom
The Famicom/NES is one of the most explored retro libraries and has no obscure games left. If you haven't heard of something before, it's because it's dogshit.

>>9236546
Nah I'm good
Most nip only games are nip only for a reason

This was the same developer who did Ice Hockey.

>>9236546
Every time I try one of these dinky dragon quest knockoffs they're quite bad, and I'm a huge famicomfag

>>9236776
this is the most cucked thing I've heard anyone saying in a long time

Stuff like this notorious Micronics-developed kusoge.

>>9236904
the box art is better than the actual game

>neat

Whitebread nerds' favorite word! What a treat...

>>9237065
That's true for most retro games.

>>9236723
That may be true for the NES (but even then... people usually talk about the same 100-150 games at best, there are more good games than that on the console) but it's definitely not true about the Famicom. I can list several good Famicom games that don't even have a mobygames/wikipedia page

you probably think you know everything about the platform because you've played Mario, Zelda, and the list goes on anyway

>>9236546
Tell me more, how does it rank on a scale from Bloody Warriors Shan-Go to Megami Tensei II?

>>9236798
Not really a surprise, pretty much every single Japanese dev and publisher had at least one RPG on Famicom.

>>9236809
Have you tried the following:
Mother
Lagrange Point
(yes, these two count as DQ knock offs)
Ninjara Hoi!
Jubei Quest
Heracles no Eiko II: Titan no Metsubo
SD Keiji - Blader
Musashi No Bouken

Those are the best ones I can think of, DQ clones specifically, bottom of the barrel would be this shit I just posted above and Lasalle no Child's Quest. Then if you bother to move the barrel you'd find Bloody Warrior Shan-Go underneath it.

>>9237354
Heracles no Eiko II is so much better than the first one i can't believe they're made by the same people. The first one is head-scratchingly bad. The sequel is not only competent, but good. The fourth one on SNES is my favourite.

>>9237476
> The sequel is not only competent, but good.

It was good, but then you get that one spear mid way through the game that's completely OP if you use it in battle and remains viable up until the end boss

>>9237354
I like Kaijuu Monogatari.

>>9237494
That's on my to play list, Namcot also made Dream Master which I liked a lot

>>9236618
game came out in 89, the OP pic is mislabeled

>>9236550
It might look better on hardware+CRT, I don't know.

>>9236546
>famicom game
>itching to play
this isnt reddit

I've not been 'itching' to play any derivate rpg in a long time now. Their gameplay is more repetitive than pokemon gen 1

wish they'd translate the Famicom Bard's Tale instead of the chopped up hunk of garbage localization we got

>>9237354
I've beat Mother 3 or 4 times, I hate Lagrange Point, but haven't tried the rest.

i liked esper dream 2

>>9237354
>Ninjara Hoi!
>not Ninja Rahoi!
I can tell you haven't played at least some of these.

>>9237494
Fan translator is an absolute fucking retard for not seeing that it's supposed to be translated as Shell Saurs Story, like on the front cover.

>>9239639
I've played them all and a lot more. On the other internet sometimes it's called Ninja Rahoi, but most of the times it's just called Ninjara Hoi. I don't speak Japanese, I thought it might be a play on words since the game is full of humour. I supposed in Japanese it's "Ninjarahoi" anyway.

>>9239981
Here,

>>9239173
That was neat but the end game gameplay was a chore, then again so it was in the first game.

I still liked the first game more because it had that 80's feel.

TAO was developed by Pax Softnica iirc, which also worked along with APE for the original Mother game, DK '94 and even Pokemon Snap.

Why was his mom so hostile?

>>9239981
>but most of the times it's just called Ninjara Hoi
Name one time outside of retards on the net just repeating that. There is a character named Rahoi in the game. "Ninjara Hoi" is just a misread title that's become widespread simply because of repetition and rote memory (many such cases).

>>9245407
It's literally written 忍者らホイ on the cover. When you don't know you shut the fuck up dumbass. Rahoi is a joke name/shitty pun.

Anybody has a patched Otaku no Seiza link?

>>9245730
Thanks anon

>>9245715
>Otaku no Seiza
Is there any reason to play this on the NES over the PCE besides the language barrier?

>>9245482
>can't read
That's what I just said, genius. Ninja Rahoi is the only comprehensible way to read that, and is confirmed by a character named Rahoi in the game.

>>9247820
Am playing on my nds

are there any taoist video games

>>9247839
>EOP can't tell the difference between hiragana and katakana
Many such cases.

>>9247820
>over the PCE

is it even the same game? Watching a video I don't recognize anything except perhaps one place

>>9247839
Good to know that you're a moron who doesn't know a lick of japanese, but I appreciate you bumping this thread.

>>9248395
>hopeless JSL retard that hasn't played the game but somehow still believes that he's smarter than Japs
Many such cases.

>>9248458
I like the subject of this thread. Getting replies from upset faggots like you in it is just bonus entertainment.
