Probably. Though, now, I have another problem. I ordered a jewel case game to a forwarding service I'm trying out since the other stopped offering that. They want 2838 Yen for the shipping of a 200g whatever (it's direct forwarding, no repackaging). I sent them a message regarding a reinforced letter, since it likely came in that...and if not, it would certainly be a SAL small package. No idea what they are thinking...grr. I mean, issues of the original systems are part of the charm. Just think if the slowdowns in older gaming consoles and I think some new version of an SNES emulator can now run games without those slowdowns. However, those games were programmed with that in mind, so it would distort the game/gaming experience.

Haha, I still have Ultima on my list of franchises to play. Same with Wizardry and Zork and such. It will still be done, even if machine translation is necessary. He will likely look at the 02 translation then though. 10km? That sense... It's more like 40km, so not exactly super close by but not far enough away for companies, language offers etc to not just move there instead. Yeah, the quickest way would be to move to Japan but I don't think it's that ideal a country to live in. Germany is definitely among the best countries, together with other countries in Western Europe and possible Northern Europe. I would also starve there since I don't eat fish and most of the vegetables they prefer.

Absolutely. Formulaic games are always kinda meh, but especially when it comes to platformers. It's a super cool game. It also had so many different modes and cars that you had tons of different choices. One of the disadvantages was the gravity though. But well, it was more of an arcade game, so it was fine, I guess. Yep, definitely sounds like that. I really dislike casualization and I would prefer for developers to make a game properly hard but also offer cheats, so that more casual players can also complete the game...like how it was back in the day.

Yeah, I know. I'm pretty fit when it comes to gaming (and anime). As I said, for Dragon Quest I-III I would play the GBC versions. IV has no proper release. V only has the 0.91 SNES release (the other complete one is very loose which I really dislike). VI has the same problem. Europe was more into the home computer market anyway and that one didn't crash. There were enough games but often times, they were just clones of other games, either from the US or Japan. Yep, there was also lots of innovation in Japan but it never really made it here. Lots of interesting hardware around. Yeah, you see this every single time in interviews. We are looking to make games for the "West" which is bs in several regards. For one, taste differ, between the US and Europe and then again in Europe specifically. Of course, in the last two decades, it has, unfortunately, become a lot more homogenized. The internet really helped with that. If I look at the bestsellers of Germany, it's the same crappy mainstream games you see everywhere else. No local products made for a local market like it used to be.

I love finding tidbits, niche information, nice overviews etc in general. It's just harder to find in the web these days, I feel.
