Two things I like...Girls and mechs. What are some good mech-themed retro games where you play as a girl?

I really wish Power Dolls got a little more love from the english speaking world. I can find translations for shit that doesn't even need a translation, but not for Power Dolls games.

High technical complexity (both language and gameplay) + niche obscure game = sadface. Alas.

I think the fanbase for PD was a lot healthier on /m/ a couple of years ago though, too bad, probably could have asked for help at that point of time...

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 15 15:28:24 2014 No.2006649 >>2005896 Would probably have better luck finding interest in translating the more modern PD games as well. Some days I think about learning japanese just so I can play some damn videogames.

Translators are probably waiting for good PC98 hackers to come around, unless the storage format/encoding for Power DoLLS 2/Advanced is easy to manipulate. No excuse for the Windows games other than ignorance of Kogado's Windows period.

>>2005896
It's basically the same few posters on /m/ and /vr/. Kogado hasn't announced much in almost two years, and the creators of PD, Schwarzschild, Rasetsu, Mars Project, &c. have by now left. Things could be worse, or a lot better.

>>2006649
3 and 4 might be the more difficult games in the series to run, unless they were updated for compatibility recently.

>PC98
Yeah, could be a while. This is the PSX port though, and PSX translations do exist, so I'm guessing it's just a lack of interest. Don't really blame the translators though, no sense in working on a translation to a game you don't care about.

Getting folks into PD could be difficult. It's more complex than most TRPGs but less so than traditional wargames (or System Soft's games). Got a strange feeling PD3 could appeal better, since Japanese RTSes stick out immediately.

It sticks out, but generally not in a good way though.

IMO, unlike TBS, RTS is one of the genres where playing one of the better entries in the genre makes the clunky ones look really bad in comparison.

Might not be related: But there was a PC-Engine game that was trying to be Bubblegum Crisis aesthetic wise, it might've been a shmup. Cannot remember the name of it, though.
