Hey guys

There's now a petition to have Garage re-released as a download. Just spreading the word.

http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/garage

>> No.1392347

bump,this actually might be a good way of showing that there is mass interest in the game

>> No.1392352

Hmm...what are the chances of this actually working? You can whine and complain to Osamu Sato about Tong Nou/Chu Teng/Roly Poly re-releases all you want, and it would never happen. I'm sure the same thing would happen if you contacted Tomomi Sakuba.

I've already gotten someone interested in looking for these games. He's in Japan and has been going on game hunts for anons who want to import retro stuff without paying ridiculous prices. Hopefully he'll come across something.

>> No.1392360

>>1392352
That's the thing, *has* anyone actually tried appealing to Sakuba until now? I think it's definitely worth a shot.

Even for someone in Japan, these things are going to be difficult to track down.

Not the guy you're replying to but given that as an example I hadn't even heard of the guy's name before now and I've been reading these threads, probably no one has.

>Hmm...what are the chances of this actually working?

It can't hurt; at worst it will just get the game a little more exposure. If we get enough signatures, that news might just reach Tomomi

>> No.1392369

>>1392360
If they did, then they would've informed us if they got a reply. I think the truth is that we're irritating both Sato and Sakuba by filling up their business inboxes with pleas for help. If that's the case, we should really just leave them alone and continue searching by ourselves.

I thought the Google Doc I created would be enough. I'm pretty sure I made it publicly accessible to anyone.

Yes, but if anyone else finds out about it, there's no doubt that people will spam his inbox with emails asking about copies (which is exactly what happened with Osamu Sato).

I think the idea of wanting the lost game is actually more tempting and appealing than actually playing it. once you get your hands on it you're gonna dick around for a bit on it and belike "yup, this is garage" and that'll be the end of it

Speaking of lost games, is there a list of all lost games? The one on lostmedia.wikia isn't very well organised.

>> No.1392560

>>1392551
Not the guy you're replying to.
I think this is unfortunately true. I was involved heavily in the Chu-Teng threads before the game was found and after it was uploaded I played it for about 10 minutes and got bored.
Also remember that episode of Dexter's Lab that was dumped after several years, the one where he and Deedee sweared a bunch? People were really really hyped for it but when it was finally uploaded everyone watched it once and that was it.
It's still nice to have a lost game though: there will be hundreds or even thousands of people down the line who will get to play it and decide for themselves.

>> No.1392563

>>1392546
yeah but that doesn't mean it's plausibly realistic. Satu is hard enough to contact as it is, he even has been on record saying even HE doesn't know where to find these games. I think it's cool to be passionate about obscure shit but this is borderline autistic

hey

I'm one of the people who helped complete Chu-Teng and get it working when we found it. I am interested in the gameplay of Garage but it seems most people only care about getting it because of the rarity of it. (after Chu-Teng was found the thread seemed to die out and there were only a small amount caring about the game)

also ponk do you know if the game you are buying is Windows or Mac or both?

>> No.1398617

>>1393630
a) is there a way to be certain this is an actual working copy of the game before purchasing it?
b) is there a safe way to pool the money without risking one person running off with it?

>> No.1398641

>>1398524
Not ponk, but Garage was released on a hybrid CD-ROM (like the Roly Poly games), so it's compatible with both PC and Mac.
>>1398617
It's possible to ask the seller a question, but seeing how there are only 4 days remaining on the auction, we really don't have time to do so.

>> No.1398709

>>1398617
i asked question b) to the hg101 thread and they said the best i can do is paypal donations

To those of you who are going to bid on it, I wish you good luck. I'm going to bid on it as well for my personal collection.

That's a very good question that I haven't even thought about. Not many places really know about this so I really suggest you don't spread the word. It will encourage trolls and insane collectors/hoarders/resellers to start bidding and inflate the price ridiculously. I guess I won't go higher than 70k.

Also, what middleman site are you using? I don't know of a single one that charges a 20% comission fee. I suggest you switch to riderproxy or yokattaweb.

I regularly scan 500+ pages of manga a month. I'm also one of the few people that scans every single part of the volumes, including the spine and copyright information. If you want an example of my work I can scan a game manual for you.

I thought everyone wanted to play this because it seems to have an incredibly haunting and desolate atmosphere a sort of cyberpunk gone wrong. A simple PC game that says more by saying less. The idea I got from earlier threads was we all had boners for the aesthetic not the rarity of a physical copy of the game. Reading some posts apparently this has changed? Well its probably good because collectors can be tenacious and usually have more money and connections.
There are still people that are appreciative of the game from an artistic stand point.

IIRC he said that he would never release the roms because it's against his moral code (he just likes having shit that you don't have) but someone could dump them if they buy it from him. The problem is that he doesn't want to sell most of the shit he claims is for sale.

The plot's kind of nebulous (given that it'a apparently supposed to be like a bad dream, that;s sort of fitting), but what I've gathered from the playthroughs and my intermediate knowledge of moonrunes is this:

You are test subject for a machine called "Garage". This machine delves deep into your mind and plunges you into a virtual dream world. The world you find yourself in is a world of scaffolding and rusty machinery built over a foundation of sewage, populated by biomechanical fetus-like beings. You yourself have become one of them. You learn that you are an outsider in this world, and that you should escape. As you search for a way out, you meet other beings, trade with them, gain access to new areas, and eventually you learn about the history of this strange world, the phenomenon of "Shadows", and your own lost identity.

>Hey this track is pretty good! What is it?

I once had a dream that I was inside Chu Teng's universe (this was months before the game was ripped and videos were uploaded). It was actually very similar to the game, because I was exploring multiple, dimly-lit pathways, most of them with dark red/magenta hues, there were unsettling sounds, characters, and music loops, and it ended with me being thrust into a colorful void beyond the door. I tried recreating it in this pic which compares my dream to the game, but I can guarantee that it looks better in my head than in the drawings.

Thematically, yeah, the environments are supposed to look like a big, rundown garage,and that's probably where they got the idea for the title.

I personally assumed it took place in some warehouse or underground structure and that "Garage" was just a cool English word the Japanese devs decided to use.

Not completely related but I always thought it's cool that Garage (guh-rawdge) the game shares the name with Garage (gair-idge) the music genre, both of which have spooky elements. Garage should have a Garage remix soundtrack.

Even if I did have a dream about Garage, the experience wouldn't be the same. I've already seen the videos, so I know exactly what the game looks like.
The only time a video game really affected my dreams was when I played LSD. I started seeing similar low-poly environments with poor draw distance, but I don't recall any music loops.

Nanshu, light cannot survive without some darkness.
I was lured away by a group of destitutes..
I was then forced to morph into a giant void of dark space.
I received an enormous amount of power from this confused energy.
Even If I leave and completely vanish..
Somehow.. Someway.. Someone will call on me again.
And I will be inflicted yet again like this..

Rin, can you hear my voice?
The dark space has now disappeared.
And in turn, I too will also have to disappear..
Rin, what does it mean to be good? What does it mean to be bad?
Chuhei became one of the dark, and I became one with the light.
Despite being opposite from each other,
We were exactly the same before we were even born.
Chuhei heard my voice from the Mid-Heaven..
He was committed to turning me into darkness.
As for me,
Did I hear any voices?
What did i do?
I did not recognise any problems in the Mid-Heaven.
I did not see anything at all.
I did not hear anything..

Nobody knows the future of the Mid-Heaven.
The natural order of life chooses its fate.
These are the wise words of the Su-Game tribe.

Rin, you saved me from the darkness with your powers.
I always had faith in you and your brave heart.
This world will now continue forever.
We will surely meet again sometime, in another place.

If you ask me the textures with Japanese text should say the same. Almost always they're just sentence fragments and/or nonsense and the greater variety of Sino-Japanese characters are more aesthetically pleasing from an artsy point of view, if you ask me.
But if they were translated to English that would still be nice too.
If you do this after finishing Chew10, you will be a god.

Yeah its more so for just, what if. Japanese writing is art, even replacing the 'a' character with the letter a is a bastardisation to infinites.

If I saw an ああああ as a pattern replaced with just "aaaa" I would immediately recognize that as a painfully literal and not very good translation, even for something very simple. ああああ would be a shout (a la "aaahhh") but "aaaa" is just holding a finger down on a keyboard and doesn't represent any actual part of spoken English.

But its just decoration and has no meaning to the grass, its literally just used as art. to see A A A A is pretty much as english as it gets. I'm going for autistic, even with the moon having the moon kanji, its artful, having it say MOON is a completely jab at Mr Sato. Actually thats the first texture im going to replace, gonna do it for some jimmy rustles.

I like how the starting bid is around $200 and yet you come in with $770. There's no way you can lose.
I'm not going to doubt that it's in working condition. It would be a dick move if the seller was actually auctioning off a broken copy. The box may be a little beat up, but it's still a valuable game.

Ill still release the iso, but after about 3 months.

All these resources have another interest but its not so much monetary, its just cool. I mean im more happy that I have the game, I was expecting 50k yen, but the gap is huge.

I should have just sold a couple figures and bought it myself. It doesn't take long to scan and rip things. I would have had it all uploaded to mega in less than a week.
