I'll investigate more about this Space Manbow score thingy... I am really curious about it :D . I had never played it for score before, so it's a fun thing to do anyway :)

I might find I was flat-out wrong. I was certain at the time though.

Necrobumping my own thread because I'm currently obsessed with attempting to play Arsys games:

http://www.soundshock.se/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9

These are the people behind Wibarm, which is basically a Thexder ARPG, which is a game that needed to be made:

I really, really want to try out WerDragon and Knight Arms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V1ZorwuITk but I'm finding the roms are im-fucking-possible to find and I hate emulating Japanese PC games. Can anybody help? Also, is there a translation for Star Cruiser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIMEfxYh3lc ? It seems insane that what is basically the first FPS (with RPG/space sim elements) wouldn't have one.

EDIT: Woah, The Scheme looks awesome. I'd play it on Project EGG but I got a nasty virus a while back that basically made IE inoperable - since then my Project EGG games haven't worked and I switched to Firefox.

I see someone over there badmouthing Sony SPC 700, which strikes me as downright philistian.

There is an old thread about Japanese computer games on here with links to a certain site which has got the disc images (Night Slave too). Use search function.

Not having any luck with search - I did search before I posted the topic and the bump (just sayin'!). Guess I'll just keep googling. Night Slave at least shouldn't be much trouble to find ... the Arsys game, otoh, are gngnnnngngnngnnn impossible. Thanks anyway - surly help is still help!

? I wasn't looking for Night Slave when I ran the searches - though that's where I found it and why I randomly posted about it. I mean, I'm interested in it, but not specifically. I bumped for the Arsys games - the forum at the link might have them, so I do appreciate that. Thanks!
