PC-FX Tome of Obey

Arkhan Asylum · 02/28/2011, 06:19 PM

So, the PC-FX tome of obey WIP is in full swing.

I played thru Galaxy Fraulein YUNAAAAAA FX this weekend and took some pictures of the TV. They came out pretty nice. The fact you can tell its a TV gives it that authentic feel.

I have been getting some review-opinion stuff typed out... and now I wonder

Does anyone have suggestions / ideas for what to do with this thang? I don't want to throw up a site that people don't like.

Ideas I thought of:

Mimic the PCE software bible, since it's a nice resource for browsing games quickly.
Set up a Wiki-site (which has the potential of going horribly wrong when jackasses start tampering)
???!

In any event, Zeroigar and Team innocent are next on the agenda.

I think once I get 10ish games screenshotted and typed up about, things will be good to attempt launching a site.

BlueBMW · 02/28/2011, 07:04 PM

Isnt there a section on this site with some reviews on the PC-FX library? I dont think its comprehensive though... maybe Aaron would let you add to that group?

Arkhan Asylum · 02/28/2011, 07:13 PM

The overview, etc. is kind of incomprete, and there is no site with a good variety of screenies to give a proper overview of the games

Sounds like you've got a project then!

Unless maybe the duomazov site would want to add a PC-FX section....

Arkhan Asylum · 02/28/2011, 07:46 PM

I hope not!

Not that they wouldnt do a good job, I just really want to do this

lol

I have quite a few ideas for a PC-FX site, but I'd launch it as a separate entity from Duomazov. Duomazov is...... strictly Duo.

That said, there's no reason Arkhan can't proceed with his own PC-FX site. The more, the merrier.

Arkhan Asylum · 02/28/2011, 09:42 PM

Yeah, im looking for design suggestions.

I have the design skills of a coked out giraffe.
But I think the site should be very white and pink.

With all the hotties from the PC-FX in a banner.

its non profit so if anyone wants to lend some expertise and shits, I will register the domain and hosty
Im thinking pcfxtoo.com

Ahh. So the pc fx game I never got around to trying?

Arkhan Asylum · 03/01/2011, 06:09 PM

Precisely!

nat · 03/01/2011, 08:44 PM

I like Yuna FX; as you progress, you unlock mini games that can be accessed later via the main menu. Many of the mini games are actually pretty cool. Most of them are even what Zeta would consider "real" games!

Arkhan Asylum · 03/01/2011, 10:30 PM

How is this for image quality? Acceptable/yay?

\o/

jlued686 · 03/02/2011, 12:33 PM

Is it possible to get screenshots off of Magic Engine FX?

Also, I'm out of the loop here...what's with all the "obey" stuff I see on the forums? I've apparently missed the joke?

NecroPhile · 03/02/2011, 12:46 PM

Those shots aren't too bad, though a flat screen tv would get rid of (well... minimize) the distortion.

BlueBMW · 03/02/2011, 03:05 PM

Ask tatsujin about obey

What distortion?

These were taken off of a flat-screen CRT

I may just suck at camera.

The curves on the sides. Good on women - not so good on screen pics.

Arkhan Asylum · 03/02/2011, 06:43 PM

eh, maybe.

Ill try fiddling with the TV settings.

Photos look pretty good, but I'd work on getting them more centered without cropping any of the actual screen image. The centering can probably be done after the fact in an image editor, but the cropping issue will have to be addressed as you take the photos.

Also, just a question.... Are you using SVIDEO or composite?

I am using composite until I find my frigging SVIDEO cable. I think I accidentally shipped it with an Amiga4000 I sold a few months ago. Damnit.

I will probably take some better centered pics. I can clean up the Yuna ones, they should be acceptable looking once I get them cleaned up in Photoshoop.

Hint: Apple ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) cables are repackaged SVIDEO cables. The good news is that approximately 37.52 billion of these cables were produced from 1986-1998 and can often times be found in heaps at the dollar or thrift store for < $1.00 / lb. Also, if you own any Apple hardware from this time period (Apple IIGS and Macintosh line) you undoubtedly already have one or two, if not more, of these.

_Paul · 03/03/2011, 05:01 PM

You really need to just screengrab from an emulator. Really. ;)

Arkhan Asylum · 03/03/2011, 06:25 PM

The only PCFX emulator out kinda blows. I will give it a shot and see.

The problem with the SVIDEO cable being gone is im lazy.

I have to go get one!

I did find a bunch of MIDI cables while looking for it though!

Arkhan Asylum · 03/04/2011, 12:29 AM

The list of games on deck

Yuna: grabbed images , may get better ones
Sparkling Feather: Some images!
Team Innocent: Grabbed some images
Ruruli Rurura: grabbed a few images and then stopped caring and started playing it!

Any other games you bastards want to suggest for the first wave of games filled up on the site?

The general format will be similar to PCE Software Bible, so, general game info, a handful of screenies, videos where applicable (I made a youtube for this).

and then commentary on the game...

It should be of the epic variety.

esteban · 03/04/2011, 06:58 AM

I am very curious about the PC-FX baseball game that was mentioned in one the the threads. I'd love to see pics of that

Arkhan Asylum · 03/04/2011, 06:03 PM

I can do that.

Its actually a good game. Thats alot coming from me, considering I fuckin hate baseball

nat · 03/04/2011, 06:07 PM

It blows the other Power Leagues out of the water, that's for sure. And the others aren't even bad.

esteban · 03/05/2011, 11:22 AM

I am not a big sports fan, especially of video game sports. But I do love me some Power League

incrediblehark · 03/14/2011, 09:28 AM

if you don't want to go the emulator route for screenshots, or if its no good compatibility wise you could try capturing screens from your computer with a card or usb device, preferably with an S-Video input.

Arkhan Asylum · 03/30/2011, 12:17 AM

Update:

I haven't abandoned or forgotten about this.

I am gathering gameplay remarks for some games, and working on a better way to grab screenshots.

Pc-fx is not worth obeying.

Unless you wanna play countless graphic novels and dating sims (humongous Yawn).

There is one good shooter on this system, and that is unfortunate.

Do some research on how many 'real' games the system has or just shut up, troll.

ddd1234 · 03/30/2011, 02:18 PM

Troll huh? For having my opinion?

Well Ok, there may be some Japanese RPG or simulations on here. so What?

Your opinion is the atypicaly misinformered crap about this system. Look thru the whole library before you say the same tired "only dating sims/hentai...blah blah blah."

Quote from: ddd1234 on 03/30/2011, 02:18 PMTroll huh? For having my opinion?

Like I said - do some research. The PC-FX's library is not composed entirely of digital comics and dating sims; stating otherwise wasn't opinion, it was just plain wrong and seemingly trolling for a reaction (like many of your posts here).

Quote from: ddd1234 on 03/30/2011, 02:18 PMWell Ok, there may be some Japanese RPG or simulations on here. so What?

So... they're not digital comics or dating sims. Duh!

Also, my dad's not a cellphone. Also, duh!

Who made you the arbiter of what the English (speaking) audience wants? Believe it or not, but some people's horizons extend beyond shooters and Genpei Toumaden.

nat · 03/30/2011, 05:56 PM

Hahaha, this guy's BS is so tired and cliche he's not even worth arguing with. It's OK, he's already formed an opinion on the system based on what a guy that videogamefan1 knew that said he heard GameOrDie say that he heard fff5678 say over on Digital Press said.

Chip Chan Kick, Ruruli Ra RuRa, Zeroigar, Zenki, Battle Heat, to name a few.

Not to mention Sparkling Feather, Der Langrisser FX and Power Dolls for you Strategy fans

Return to Zork, Boundary Gate, Last Imperial Prince.

Team Innocent.

There's plenty to love. The system has no bad games. There is not one game on the PC-FX that is bad. I can say this with 100% certainty because I have played every game on the system.

Also, you're new here, I've noticed your random semi-retarded remarks occasionally that have that "Im attempting to trololo" vibe. You are not fit to decide what is worth OBEYing.

PS: Wario is a fag.

Lots of hasty generalizations goin' on here, anyways I didn't say it's a bad system. I was talking about the over representation of single genre and the reason why English speakers may not find it appealing.

your post here is simply laughable.
I would advise a more formal and open minded tone, as your rude "fan boyish" tone is disturbing!
I looked through the games that Arkhan listed above, and visually, SOME of them look like they were done in flash.
I won't comment on the game play, because i have YET to play them.

What hasty generalizations? I've played the entire PC-FX library. I am generalizing nothing. Go look at the genre breakdown. The sim genre is not really over-represented as much as you would think.

What HAVE you played? None of the games I mentioned look like flash games. That is a stupid generalization. You're looking at the surface of games you have never even played or seen in action, and are then dismissing the entire system.

I bet half of the 'dating sims' you are talking about aren't even dating sims.

Also, Zeroigar fucking rules.

Just saying.

Arkhan Asylum · 06/10/2011, 10:12 PM

snaps of Zeroigar, Yuna, Boundary Gate, Ruruli Ra Rura, and Team Innocent are taken.

Figuring out/fucking the HTML files into working order. Don't worry,I didnt design them. A smart person did.

Once I get it sorted out and uploaded, pcfxtoo.com will go live with those 5 games to start.

also Protip: only one of them is a digital comic. Suck on that, fuckers.
