Which Slayers games have people played, and which ones are the best? I've only played the PC-98 and Super Famicom games, both were pretty enjoyable.

It's nothing amazing, pretty standard RPG, but it's better than a lot of other licensed anime RPGs for SNES. I liked it better than the Tenchi, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Ranma games. Sailor Moon Another Story might've been better though, been a while since I played that but I remember it being fun.

There was a translation in the works years ago, but sadly it seems like it died off a long time back. Hopefully somebody finished translating it someday. I muddled my way through the game with my very limited Japanese, but there were some places I got stuck. Halfway through I figured out how to use an automatic text translation tool with the PC-98 emulator, which worked well enough for me to figure out how to beat the game.

If there are any highlights in this game, are the above hot springs and Lina's chest? As far as Jibun remembers, the biggest Lina in Slayers history. At least you can worship Lina with an E-cup chest. The days when people keep saying "I thought I was a boy" are goodbye, and I feel like I'll look back at the guy who said "the little breasts of the Great Plains". By the way, of course, Naga is a huge breast that you can't think of as a human being. You can't walk in the erotic book, though it's not like this chest.

On a side note, it's interesting how characters don't level up at all in the game.

It's a SNES JRPG that tried to be a little different and fell a little flat. It's not bad, but party members can refuse your orders, and it's frustrating when Lesbian Ronin /k/ommando keeps insisting her wide-range wind element special is the best way to kill a single heavily wind-resistant enemy. Also, the less said about the town-wide dialogue puzzle, the better.

Technically. On IRC, you'd get shit off a bot. The same learning curve applied, you'd join #warez or whatever and stumble your way to the good channels. It's a bit different nowadays with the cabal and all that horseshit, but you found out where to go because you knew a guy who knew a guy and would get invited.

It's a bit too autistic illuminati for me, so I just stick with where I am because it has everything I need. I dropped out of touch with a lot of guys over the years, but I suspect many of them are cabal faggots nowadays and we're both better off.

It was not the dub the problem as the cast was fine, it was the adaptation as it was heavily toned down for a younger audience with the main title changed to ''a spell disclosed between the petals of time for Rina'', name changes, lots of censorship such as the whole part when Lina was unable to use magic, etc.

I remember hearing about this back then, but I don't think Naga had anything to do with it. Naga only appeared in the OVA and Movies whose rights where owned by ADV at the time.
Probably had to do with the lack of success of Escaflowne (still weird to think it was on Fox Kids). If I remember, this was around the same time that Harry Potter is evil because it has magic, so an anime with a female protagonist, who summons power from dark lords wasn't likely the safest bet from a marketing standpoint.
