hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/kagiri/kagiri.htmThe article gives a bit of background but....awhile ago, a bunch of us were looking for this old Japanese game that was apparently the predecessor to Bangai-O. People initially thought it was this game, Kagirinaki Tatakai, but later discovered it was another title called Hover Attack. Most people kinda abandoned looking at Kagirinaki Tatakai, but it's actually a pretty interesting game, as it turns out. Since it was nearly impossible to find the tape image for this, I put it up for download too.

Holy shit! This is the kinda crap that I visit this site for.
17th paragraph...
Kind of an odd statement, given that the crash only happened in America. Nothing wrong with it, but still sort of strange to differentiate between pre-crash and post-crash when it comes to Japanese games.
Greatest music ever?
BTW, is there a good resource out there about other Sharp X1 games?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, I really want to give this one a try. Computer emulators can be a pain to configure, but this one seems like it's worth it.  I echo zzz's last statement. I also want to ask: Are there any other fine games for the Sharp? My compulsive nature cannot get an emulator for only a single game. |

a lot of the time, it just simply isn't worth it with computer emulation. you'll pull your hair out looking for the 1 rom. well, english speaking(typing?) computers not so much, but the japanese ones, even if you search with the kanji of the roms title....
probably the easiest ones to find are the translated farland story games for the pc-98, and generally the msx might not be too hard to find anything for.
nothing, however seems to be a bigger pain in the ass to get running than the amiga. on top of finding the kickstart files needed, each game itself needs to be separately configured. luckily the atari st seems to be able to run a lot of the same titles, though it's a slower, less powerful machine as i understand it.
for the record, hover attack might be one of the roughest ones to find.

Most X1 games came out for the PC88, which are much easier to find.
I'm not gonna post where to get all those games because I've posted them a bunch of times already and no one seems to care.

All I remember was looking for 1 pc-98 game(very recently) took me maybe 2 hours. I found it bundled with a few other titles in a rapidshare file due to some Spanish message board or something. Wasn't worth it either, it was Sakusaku Daigoutou Returns. An indy game I was intrigued by due to it's highly unusual concept. Kill off a town, including it's priest, and rape it's women(you essentially kill them, like everyone else, but you get a somewhat censored hentai scene, rather than seeing them as a bloody corpse on the ground in game). I didn't find that particular concept intriguing, I just never thought a game like that would have existed, even in Japan, so it caught my curiosity. As a game it really sucked anyway, you hold a button down, and walked into your enemies, most of which didn't even fight back.

What emulator are you using? For most games you can use the standard A500 setup, and for AGA games A1200... For Kickstart you can use something as old as 1.3 for the older games, I don't even know what the new ones need. Atari ST is actually slightly FASTER than Amiga, with the same main processor, so they had most of the same games. ST lacks the extra processors of the Amiga, though, so it has worse sound capabilities... and probably something else, but I can't remember  ... For Atari ST, check out Sundog: Frozen Legacy, which is pretty awesome although I must confess I've never played it very far myself since I rarely load up the ST emulator... But that game was only on Apple II, and the updated remake was only on Atari ST: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunDog:_Frozen_Legacy |

I wanted to give the game a try, but - naturally - I've got problems running the emulator.
In the article, the link for the emulator and the system ROMs are the same, is that a mistake, or are the system roms somehow included in the zipfile?
When i turn it on, all i get "Searching FD images... not found!" I'm used to find my way through emulator's settings, problem is, there aren't many settings at all. I can load a tape image, but i can't start the tape...

For anyone having trouble finding games for old computers go to fullmotionvideo.free.fr/forum/index.php (Tokugawa). Rey linked those forums, I believe, thousands of years ago. Also go to down.99inet.com/ for more common uncommon Japanese computer games. Thanks to Atma linking that on the IRC (see! relevant stuff is discussed there). |
