PC-98 thread

[Anonymous No.6349562]

Has anyone got floppy disk images of the PC98 touhou games? They aren't in any of the usual archives. HDD images (.hdi) are no good to me, as I don't have any spare drives handy.

Also, PC98 thread. Post your favorite OPN/OPNA tunes

Not trying to turn this into a Touhou thread. but it still blows my mind how ZUN used be able to design very appealing characters in the PC-98 games, but switched over to the weird blobby style in the Windows games.

[kuuhaku No.6349584,1]

hdd images are the norm on some games specially touho and corpse party games they come on hdi and have to wonder what do you meant by "i don't have any spare drives" they are loaded on the emulator as a floppy disk as simple as that

[Anonymous No.6349721]

Have you tried the CD image?

ZUN's line art is okay (I mean it's not great but it's cute at least), it's mainly his weird coloring style that ruins it.

Since it's PC-98 thread, just went through Lakers last night. It's pretty cool, even if it's not much of a challenge (Tuned Heart is way harder).
I launched the second game, CGs are a big step up, but these "interactive" sex scenes are boring AF. Just show us the CG without these damn menus... otherwise, equipement managing is pretty nice, the pacing is faster (both your HP and the enemy's drop way faster) and it seems harder with tighter MP management. Plus, it's playable even with very little knowledge of nihongo (still in the process of learning myself)
I can see why it's sort of a cult classic here in /vr/

I stopped playing with the Windows games because the art got awful after 8 and the soundfont sucks.

4 on the PC-98 is my favorite, despite having the weakest music in the series, because it isn't designed to be playable only by autistic people.

What's kind of impressive is how Zun designed a game that scrolls smoothly on the PC-98. I suppose he did it by making the game with graphics that look like an early release NES game, but it is still impressive for the platform.

[Anonymous No.6351321]

Because the script was lively and felt natural. The same can't be told about the Retronomicon stuff. Now, translating is difficult even when you are a fluent speaker, so some stuff might have been lost in translation. But who really cares about that ? It's made by people who want the game avaliable for others to enjoy them. The hacking is really top-notch (again, compare it to Retronomicon's Night Slave - no a single graphic object was edited) and the game plays like an official release. If you're really picky about accuracy, just play it in Japanese.
I still enjoy more the english version of Tuned Heart than the atrocious Megatech Software or Working Designs stuff, not the mention the horribly mangled and heavily censored Engrish of Final Fantasy VII.

Yes, I have seen the errors (if they can be called such; frankly, half of the time it seemed to me that the translator wilfully chose to replace a line in whole for some god-forsaken reason) but the single word "garbage" to describe the end product surely is an overreaction.

[Anonymous No.6351367]

There's a difference between "complete rewrite" and "some errors/missed stuff.
I'm not OK with complete rewrites, specially when they just betray the original intent. Take Knights of Xentar for instance : the original game is goofy, but the english translation is just bad toilet humor.
The tone of Tuned Heart "feels" right. There may be some errors, it has already discussed here ; but it's not a "complete rewrite".

[Anonymous No.6351380]

>>6351367
So you are going to ignore Japanese speakers that played the game and pointed out how the translation fucked up basic parts of the plot and instead trust your feelings?

I do not know how deep the errors went since I did not play the game, not in Japanese (goddamnit, the custom font hurt my eyes) nor in English, but I would say "work of an inexperienced translator" might be an apt phrase to use.

The Retronomicon stuff was on a whole other level. Obaba refering herself as an eagle in DK1 was almost hilarious. But there's still a difference between wrapping up machine translation and making mistakes in an actual one. The hacking in Nebulous projects is way better and the script just makes sense and feels like actual english.

I'm in position to enjoy a game with a nice, lively script that makes sense. If you really feel the games can't be enjoyed with it, so be it, don't play them and stick to the original versions.
Fan translations are free most of the time (even Retronomicon had a Patreon, but gave all his stuff for free) so nobody's hurt in the process anyway.
And when it comes to judgin stuff, I may just be a beginner in Japanese but I speak three languages fluently and believe me, I've seen much worse stuff, even in book translations by established publishers. When something is translated without any clue of the context, it really shows. And I honestly don't think it's the case for Tuned Heart. Sure, it's just based on my feeling when reading through the script ; but I really enjoyed playing through the game and for that I'm grateful to the translation team.

In Lakers 2 Chapter 7, you have a map with only her and Akira, facing something like 16 ennemies, including 2 bosses, without the rest of the squad. You have to heal constantly, and call for new equipement to replace destroyed one very frequently, missing a full turn each time, and allowing the enemy to anally rape you in the process. I almost shed tears of blood on this one (and I've finished almost all retro Fire Emblem games, plus Shining Force 3). But you have 2 h-scenes right after that, so I guess that makes it for it.

I'm trying to find this game I saw in a /vr/ thread a long time ago, it looked like A-Train but it was about building a space station or something, does anyone know what I'm talking about?

[Anonymous No.6371463]

>>6371315
It's really easy btw. Yoi got a few events where you can choose one of the girls to spend time with, than you got some pretty obvious answers to tell them during the date. Just focus on the one you want and try not to get her killed in subsequent fights or your affection will go down.
I got easily Lynn on my first play. You just get a romantic scene where she confesses her love, then it's the usual credits. Not any hentai if you were wondering.

Not really, it's a regular dialogue scene. There's a slight variation of her still image, (she's got tears in her eyes if I remember well) but nothing worth replaying the whole thing to get it.

[Anonymous No.6374132]

'based' might or might not be a compliment
'-pilled' is definitely an insult (derived from 'bluepilled', which is used to denote an individual's NPC status without triggering them)

There are some untranslated Uncharted Waters game. Only first 2 are translated.

So do you know of any untranslated games that are amazing? I'd be happy to work through them if they're solid, but most of the lists I seem to find of people's recommendation are all based on English.

It reminded me of Ogre Battle with a single, gigantic map.

I had downloaded a Chinese DOS/V port in the early 00s and got lost in the menus but it looked interesting. When I tried the PC-98 image, it froze after the company screens.

Need help identifying a game.
It's a hentai RPG, MC is a girl accompanied by 3 robots.
I think the gameplay is turn based, you throw a dice and move based on the number you get.
Map is like a board game (similar to sugoroku or snake & ladder).
Played in mid 90s.

You're welcome. Maybe you played other PC-98 at the times with some board game elements like Innocent Tour and mixed them.

Another game I had in mind and only have fuzzy memories of was Pretty Monsters by Nampurrow. I think it combines a female MC, some robotic monsters in your team and sugoroku.

>played other PC-98 at the times

This is most likely.
But I clearly remember the girl and those 3 robots, I was wrong about the gameplay though.
>Innocent Tour
Looks good.
>Pretty Monsters by Nampurrow
Can't find anything about it.
Got links or screenshots?

[Anonymous No.6389635]

Innocent Tour sure is gorgeous but gets tedious after a while, imo. Each stage can take more than an hour so I only did one playthrough with the elf.

Nampurrow did a few PC-98 games (Cloth Out, Pentium...) and, according to VNDB, Pretty Monsters is now published by Sylph Works.

Multiple stories with different MC? Like the Greystone Saga 3?
>Pretty Monsters
Did google "pretty monsters pc98" and I got weird result.
Didn''t google "pretty monsters vndb" because I thought it's not in vndb.
So Nampurrow & Sylph Works only released one game then disappeared?

[Anonymous No.6389738]

>>6389662
Each MC has their own story and the other 2 serve as adversaries in the board game part. You have to reach the end before them while using spells to hinder them/speed yourself up. Along the path there are monsters you fight in RPG fashion.

About Pretty Monsters, I should have added it's a Windows game that came in 2001 so not really PC-98 related.
>So Nampurrow & Sylph Works only released one game then disappeared?
Looks like Sylph Works published a bunch of other title, but it was Nampurrow's last game.
