And Bryan, I agree that the designs are quite attractive -- I think some of the later titles were actual games, but this one was just a reference/quiz collection.StillGaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366215127642090500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274560874062585311.post-37839798774463830072011-08-12T20:43:32.317-07:002011-08-12T20:43:32.317-07:00I can help with a couple of gaijin translations:
...I can help with a couple of gaijin translations:<br /><br />The first character with the mask is named "Momotaro Tenshi" or, "Peach Boy Angel." Momotaro (Peach Boy) is a well-known legend about a boy who descended to Earth in a giant peach.<br /><br />The rodent-looking wrestler is named "God Mongoose," which explains his hatred of snakes (look at his headband and under his boot).<br /><br />The fellow with the turban is named "Mister Suketto" which translates to "Mister Helper."Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006976826851198428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274560874062585311.post-44035176015586932392011-08-12T14:31:10.999-07:002011-08-12T14:31:10.999-07:00This was one of the first PC Engine CD-ROM2 games ...This was one of the first PC Engine CD-ROM2 games I ever laid eyes on -- in the pages of Video Games & Computer Entertainment or EGM (I can't remember which). Even then, though, English gamers were warned against the game, which they said was simply an encyclopedia of this series' characters.<br /><br />I have to say, though, that the characters themselves seems rather appealing. Too bad there's nothing to do in this "game" other than look at static images of them!Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.com
