Purevex and Zeus: Carnage Heart Second are still lost too.

Technically, if a game isn't already dumped and can't be obtained through eBay "immediately", it's "lost". This is like, 5,000+ PC games. It's double "lost" if the dumper doesn't run it through Redump.org and post it in ROM Shepherd's forums. Like, you can say Labyrinth or whatever Jap cancer isn't "lost", but since it's not on Redump, the shit will likely drop off the internet in 5-10 years after you get done circlejerking over it. It's already happened to hundreds of doujin/indie titles, so joke's on you. I could list tons of things none of you dweebs will find a working link to.

Some Redumpers tend to dump it, upload it to archive.org, then drop a link to that on ROM Shepherd. Honestly, it's like people don't understand the simple concept of making "mirror" links.

>Zeddas: Horror Tour 3
Did ANYONE EVER play Erevos besides just me? That was such a fucking BIZARRE experience. The game REQUIRED of you to play ONLY at night, because it was tied to system's (PC) clock and when it was day, it was day in game, and you're playing as a Vampire or a Vampire Hunter, so you can't do jack shit in the day. Gladly, this could be cheated out easily by manually changing Windows' clock every time to the night time hours, before starting the game.

According to info available (which is VERY little), Erevos was developed by NYX, which was a studio of several people in the long-defunct company Genadios. This was a Chile-based company, though it's not known in what location the game itself was developed specifically. Also, Erevos is a Spanish/Portugal version of the word "Erebus", the "Darkness". GameFAQs lists this game as North American, but that's a mistake.

Game School Guide 2000

ゲームスクール卒業生の若手集団が設立したゲームソフト会社をチェキッ!

【マクロアーツ】
「卒業したら自分たちでやっていこうと、思ってました。」

ゲームスクールを卒業したらどうしよう。メーカーに入社するのもいいが、「自分たちの会社」を興すことだってできるかもしれない。一人の学生が、仲間とともに卒業後すぐに起業して会社を設立したがー。

(上右絵)
原田亨さん
「最近、ゲームの作り手側のメッセージが伝わるような作品が少ないんじゃないでしょうか」

1995年6月に創業した有限会社マクロアーツは、ゲームスクールの学生だった原田亨さん(25)が、卒業してすぐ同級生ら2人と作った若い会社だ。原田さんは在学中、就職を考えたことはないという。企業の一員の立場で、自分の企画が通るのは何年後か、作りたいゲームを自由に作ることができるのか、そんな不安を感じていた。たまたま学校には、卒業後に会社設立を希望する学生を支援する制度があり、卒業目前の'95年3月に、企画書を提出した。
「友人に『企画が通ったらいっしょにやる?』って聞いたら『うん』というくらいで、もともと気楽に応募したんです。そうしたら企画書が通ったわけです」
こうして会社設立計画が進み、6月にはマクロアーツが誕生。原田さんが21歳のときだった。一卒業としてゲームを商品として見なければならなくなったことは、学生のときとの最も大きな変化だったという。ゲームの企画から完成まで、また商品としてどう売っていくか、それらを丸ごと考えていかなくてはならないのである。

澤田尊志さん
「望まれている以上のものにしようと、こだわるんですよ」と静かに話す

(クオート)
おもしろさのツボを押さえたゲーム作りを

今年で創業4年に入った。2年目に澤田尊志さん(25)が入社した。原田さんのゲームスクールの同期だ。ゲーム制作の注文が入ると、クライアントの要望上のソフトを仕上げようと、ぎりぎりまでこだわる。「半年の期限があったらあっただけ使います。たまに期限を超しちゃうこともあるんです......」と澤田さん。
さて、原田さんがこれからやりたいのはもちろん、ゲームを作ること。中でもネットワークゲームに興味があるという。ネットワークを利用すれば、『ウルティマオンライン』や『ディアブロ』のように、対戦相手がどこにいようと、あるいは一度も会ったことのない人とさえ、ゲームを通じてすぐコミュニケーションがとれるおもしろさがあるのだ。そして自分がとったアクションに対してリアクションが返ってくるのがゲームの基本だからこそ、ゲームになる。「そういったおもしろさのツボを押さえたゲームを作っていきたい」
ところで、会社の業績はどうか。

「始めたばかりですから楽とはいいません。何より問題なのは、キャラのほとんどを人材につぎ込んじゃうことです。どんどん機材も買っちゃう。利益もそれなりになる。税理士さんには会社は利益を出すところと、怒られました(笑)。でも、食費も削ってもいい。ゲームを作ることにお金を使ってます」 (原田さん)。
現在、マクロアーツは総勢5人。会社を始めてよかったかどうかの質問に答えるのはまだ早いという。
「サッカーに例えるなら、『試合に出られてよかった。でも観客の期待に応えられなかった』じゃダメですから。観ている人たちを満足させなくちゃならない。ボクらの商品も完成して発売した、で終わりではなくゲームを買ってくれた人たちに楽しんでもらい、営業面でも結果を出さなければなりませんから」
マクロアーツがこれからどんなゲームを生み出すのか、ソフトの発売を楽しみに待ってみよう。

ゲームスクールは何かを知るきっかけに

>>5056224
日々前線に立っている原田さんに、学校について振り返ってもらおう。
「技術的なことはとても役に立ってます。ただ、学校に行っただけで、一流の技術は身につくわけではないことも知っておいてほしい」
一流の技術は会社に出て商品作りの経験を積み重ねたり、仕事を通じているいろな人と出会うことなど、目に見えない要素があって、身につくものだということなのだろう。
さらに「学校は自分のしたいことを習うだけでなく、いろいろなことを知るきっかけを作ってくれる場所だと思うんですよ。そういうった部分にも、目を向けてほしいですね。それから会社に出ると、一般教養の大切さが身に染みてわかります」。
ゲームが仕事になると制作期限やコストなど制約が出てくる。そんなとき自分をコントロールできるよう、可能な限り楽しみながらゲーム制作をしたほうがいい、と勧める。また、どんなものからでも何かを吸収できるといった意識で前向きに進んでほしいと、エールを送ってくれた。
