12/23/2024: Localization News - Team Innocent

PC-FX Localization for Team Innocent is released, a pre-Christmas gift!! In a twist, it feels like the NEC PC-FX got more attention in 2024 than any other time I can remember! Caveat: The localizers consider the "v0.9" patch a BETA as it still faces technical hurdles to eventually subtitle the FMV scenes, but they consider it very much playable.

I still can't stop laughing, Merry Christmas Bro!

By the way, I think it read "I hope I made it just in time! Merry Christin!"  Adol's face on the other side is priceless!

You can beat it before Xmas Ends.  GO GO GO.

SAVE THE FAERIES.
This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Thanks a lot, Bernie!

Splash Lake AND Monster Lair!

I had never played either before, but now, after playing the first 50 levels of Splash Lake, I have to say that it is a really enjoyable game, even if a couple of the levels were a little frustrating.  I'm looking forward to trying out Monster Lair in the near future, but no more obey today, it's family time.

My santa was awesome! Some new PCE to obey to: Crest of Wolf, (Super) Raiden, and the aptly named Götzendiener.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)
BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere. You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

My package arrived late last week, and it KILLED me to put it under the tree and wait until Christmas morning, but I have to say that it was cool doing so, because the anticipation reminded me of the Christmases of my childhood.  I got up this morning and tried to wait as long as I could to open it up (I was trying to wait until my wife got up, but she didn't) but a man can only kill so much time by doing chores, so it was time.  I had not one, but two presents from fellow PCEFXers arrive this week, and they both went under the tree for xmas morning opening.

First, Secret Santa:

I know who my SS is, but I'll leave him anonymous unless he wants to out himself. 

IMG

The box.  Damn that's a lot of stamps!  And check out the Christmas-themed packing tape!  And are those Sparky stickers?  I used them in my secret santa-ing this year, as well.

IMG

3 presents, all wrapped!  Let's assume that the two smaller items are turbobs, but what about the bigger present?  There could be anything in there!  I have my theories, but let's see what happens...

IMG

Sweet, interestingly sweet, and super sweet! Knight Rider Special, still sealed!  (Not for long).  I know the game gets panned by most everybody, but I was addicted to that show when I was a kid, so I think the game is cool just for nostalgic reasons.  Gomola Speed is not a game with which I am familiar, so that will be interesting to check out.  The Brothers Duomazov hated it, but theirs seems to be the minority opinion, and I love action puzzle games.  My theory about the big box was wrong, but in a good way.  The list I submitted may have been a "want" list, but controller extension cords were more of a "need" item, as every time my buddy comes over for some turbo time, we practically have to sit in each others laps.  I actually forgot that I asked for these, which makes them even cooler.  Definitely an awesome gift!  Thanks very much, Mr. Secret Santa!

I also received a little bit of packagey goodness from Opie, but since it was so close to Christmas, I decided to torture myself and put in under the tree next to my SS package.

IMG

IMG

I've already decided to go out on a high note by never entering a raffle again.  (I'll still raffle stuff off, though).  You can't tell in the picture, but the jewel case didn't survive the trip, which I took as an excellent excuse to put the game into a new jewel case with a white tray.  I'll definitely be digging into this game sometime in the next few days.  Thanks again to both Opie and The Old Rover for this one!

Chris Bucci loves Gamola Speed, so if it is good enough for him then it was good enough for my recipient. And there isn't anyone on this forum that doesn't like opening brand new sealed Turbob. It's not a common occurrence and I sent it assuming it would be opened and enjoyed. Merry Christmas, Chris. :)

Necro, thanks again for organizing a successful Secret Santa this year.  Looks like everybody made out great.
I guess now, we need to call out anybody that DIDN'T come through!!  Hope there weren't many (or any) that sent something out and got nothing in return.  We'll need to burn those members in effegy!  :twisted:

Anyway, instead of a list of games, I had asked that my santa send me something Turbo related and hand made.

This is what arrived.  I'm actually stoked about these because I can use them as bookends for a shelf of games that isn't quite full yet.
Some wooden model hueys and manuals.
Thanks SWIM!!

Yeah galam they are meant to be just that, if you noticed yet the black front fits the exact size of a cd/hu card case and the white backs are the same size as a hu-card.  So you can stack up against them for those shelfs that are just not quite full.  Also I hope those graphics stay on, I was having a hard time finding a product to seal them.  :-k

I should make it known, since my SS asked, this is where my avatar comes from:

The two cartridges at the top were on my Secret Santa list.  The remaining 8 were bonuses.  Hydlide I played as a kid.  I'm not looking forward to reliving that nightmare.  ](*,)  Knight Rider was damaged in shipping, but it's just the outer case.  Nothing a little glue won't fix.  :)  I've heard great things about XEXYZ too.   :dance:
Sorry about Knight Rider.  The box I had for the 2 Secret Santa games had the extra space, and those 8 extra games were duplicates that I had picked up a while back in a NES lot, and they weren't doing anything for me.  (That why a couple of them still need to be cleaned up a bit, because I ran out of time.   :oops:  ) I had seen an earlier post of yours that said that you only had about 15 games, so I thought, "What the heck.  Send 'em to FiftyQuid.  He may like 'em."  I actually haven't played all of them yet, and for the ones that I have played, it has been a while, but I do remember really enjoying Solar Jetman for sure, and I hope that you'll enjoy it as well.  Of course RC Pro Am and Mike Tyson's Punchout should be enjoyed by you, since they're both great games.  Anyway, Merry Christmas again!

FiftyQuid's new NES games....

ASIDE: Has anyone here beaten Top Gun NES? I don't think I have. I may have, but it was only once or twice, if I did. That game was challenging for me.

No worries about the Knight Rider.  You can't control the Post Office and how they handle packages.  Besides, I fixed it up with some Gorilla glue, and lacquer thinner.  Looks great now (pic forthcoming).  All 10 NES games are greatly appreciated!  My NES library has grown quite a bit.  I'll take a pic and post here as well.  :)

@esteban - The Top Gun I received is actually Top Gun: The Second Mission.  I didn't even know they made a sequel!

I have to disagree, but maybe I'm still bitter about wasting $5 to rent it for the entire weekend and not having anything to play.  :lol:

Here's the 'fixed' copy of Knight Rider.  I think it came out pretty nice considering.

The bonus?  It even plays!

Oh, and here's a little Boxing Day gift to myself.  For $99, I couldn't pass it up.  Even though the failure rate is something like 80%.  Nothing a 3 year extended warranty from Best Buy (for $30) won't fix.  8)

Götzen - Deiner -> in götze change the t in German to the English d. the n is plural - god(e)s, Deity, or idol.  Dein is your.  here however in the compound it means more like worshiper. so think of the game title as Idol worshiper -  However the word is almost always used in the negative connotation, as in false idol worship i.e idolater.   In the game you are taken by a cult of idolaters from which you must escape.

I almost bought that deal, I kept thinking about it but eventually passed. I already have a 3d TV so decided I didn't need it (and it is 46"). Curious how the TV set is though.
