After gpawj posted about The Fortune Cookie, I decided to look into it myself. Don't know if anyone else has, but I stumbled across the complete Russian version, titled "На сопках Маньчжурии" (Na Sopkakh Man'chzhurii / On the Hills of Manchuria). Here is the link for downloads of both Russian and English versions. I haven't yet gotten the latter to work, but I'm sure someone else here can easily. "Rest in peace, a Soviet citizen. Unrest in the Far Eastern border pose no threat to the building of communism. After all, while you sleep, Comrade Stalin thinks. And he already had a plan, how do you know the intentions of our Japanese 'friends.' Sleep well ..."

Good news for you, Discoalucard! English PC version of Yellow Brick Road can be freely obtained here. By the way, the game had a sequel, but it's Japanese-only, unfortunately (downloadable at Adventure Legends as well). Nice, I'll check it out, thanks! Wonder if it works OK on modern Windows platforms. It doesn't work OK, because the game uses some kind of Multimedia Projector engine. Windows 3.x is highly recommended to play Yellow Brick Road without technical issues (you can use Virtual PC or DOSBox + Windows 3.x package). This isn't QUITE a lost game You don't consider Incarnatia and/or render organ as rare but Yellow brick road yes..? hmm-k.... Render Organ was the only synergy's game, I know, that I didn't possessed... Incarnatia? Render Organ? Huh, I've never heard of them. Are these ones for PC? Do you have any links, info, screenshots for these two games? I haven't yet gotten the latter to work, but I'm sure someone else here can easily. Both versions work fine on my notebook with WinXP.

The links are in my previous post ; ) Oh, thanks! Why do you call them "downloadable demos"? These Adventure Legends versions are full and complete. Sadly both games are japs only. There's something illogical concerning release dates and languages. Render Organ was released a year after Alice and a year before Yellow Brick Road. Both games (Alice & Yellow Brick Road) had English versions, whereas Render Organ didn't. Hmm...

Because that's what's written on the site I guess... That's probably some cheap way to hide the fact that it is illegally free versions... Btw, it's always fun to see somebody new who have an interest into these games. I hope you know about Necrobius, Garage, Chu-teng and all that?

I finally got the original 3-disk FM TOWNS version of Asuka 120% BURNING Fest. It hasn't been dumped online, yet, but I would like to. Is this identical or very close to the X68k version? Either way, you should dump and upload this ASAP. Let the Tokugawa Industry forums know if you haven't.

It seems, that these game represent a higher rarity level than Eastern Mind or other Synergy games (Gadget, L-Zone, etc.).

I already asked the Tokugawa Industry forums and they suggested me to find someone with the Kryoflux. Software Preservation Society is probably my best bet. There is another one shown at the Yahoo! Japan Auctions that SPS wants me to purchase with their own money.

Virtuality games. It was a VR game system I only played a few times at a local arcade store, two games, a boxing one and a rails shooter one. I don't think I've ever seen an emulator or anything close to it and information is scarce

I've known about Pink Gear for a while...should definitely look into trying it sometime. Since we're on the subject of lost/evasive games, how about Clone Ranger (クローン・レンジャー 盗まれたDNA)? It was Cyberarts' foray into FMV adventuring, you can take a look at preserved QuickTime panoramas of in-game CG here. They transitioned to IT after the game failed to sell amidst other multimedia games saturating the dying PC-soft market. Haven't seen any copies up for sale recently, but it has entries on Suruga-ya, Rakuten, Medio.bz, and other sites.

Hey guys! Cool to see that there's still activity on this forum! I got absolutely no spare-time these days... Not even to play games... So even less to search rarity! But I don't want this post to be useless so: Have you heard of "paragon sexa doll"? There were a GIF floating around the cyberspace last year but I've never heard more of this game... i.imgur.com/L9iTe.gif
