[PC-98] Mugen Senshi Valis (1987) (Nihon Telenet) LordKarnov42 2011-10-18 | MAY THEN VALIS BE WITH YOU The original was released in 1986 for the PC-8801, but for some reason this one has worse English and a very different health power-up drop system. Also this one doesn't have copy protection(?) that kills me when I pick up the Double Bullet power-up, which is why you're getting a video of this one.
[Win98J] Romancia ~Another Legend~ (1999) (Unbalance) LordKarnov42 2011-10-05 | A sub-par farmed-out port+remake of Romancia. It's running a little too fast (I think), but even at the proper speed it wouldn't even be as good as the original.The mode with Commentary is kind of cool though.
[PC-88] The Black Onyx (1984) (BPS) [Translation] LordKarnov42 2011-09-30 | Inaugural 30-minute video! Not that I'm going to upload 30-minute videos of every game. Fan-translation of The Black Onyx for PC-88 that I worked on last year. Yes, I know the apostrophes are ^s.

[PC-98] Revival Xanadu (1995) (Nihon Falcom) LordKarnov42 2011-09-29 | Wherein I never discover why I can't hurt the enemies nearly as much as in the original.
[PC-88] Xanadu Scenario II: The Resurrection of Dragon (1986) (Nihon Falcom) LordKarnov42 2011-09-29 | Wherein I create a character and learn very quickly that Xanadu Scenario II is incredibly unforgiving. And confusing.
[PC-98] Brandish VT (1996) (Nihon Falcom) LordKarnov42 2011-09-21 | Which is incredibly boring, at least the introductory dungeons are. I hope it gets better, they eventually ported it to Windows and added a couple of characters.

[PC-98] Brandish II: The Planet Buster (1994) (Nihon Falcom) LordKarnov42 2011-09-19 | Wherein I discover that Brandish II is a lot harder than Brandish, and never figure out how to equip things, despite the big bar that says "Equip".
[PC-98] Brandish (1994) (Nihon Falcom) LordKarnov42 2011-09-19 | Another pretty good PC game with a reviled console port. Brandish!
