Triad Stone was developed as an arcade game originally, they finished the animation but never completed the game.  With the birth of CD consoles and the rise of FMV, DataEast chose to pull the animation out of the closet put it up for licensing/sale.  Sega took the footage and gave us Triad Stone.  While some other f*cks took the footage and made Strahl.

Interesting!

Thank you for the info. Now makes sense

Thanks for the info. It's easily the best game I have for the LA. I'd love to have Road Blaster and Time Gal but that's not happening anytime soon thanks to the insane prices.

Time Gal is solid in the visuals but there are slight delays in the choice selections to the next video.  Nothing horrible but noticable, Road Blaster is quite fun though.  If you keep an eye on stuff in Japan you can get it for a solid price.  I picked my RB for about $100 a year or two ago, mint and complete minus the obi.  I really consider Triad Stone one of the "must own" games for any person with a LA though.

[SuperDeadite]

Those delays in TimeGal are caused due to the game having a unique death for every single choice.  The LA has to load video into the digital memory, and it simply isn't big enough to do all that video at once.  Still the best port though.  Triad Stone is the most fun of the 3 anime LD games though imo.

I wonder how many of those were made.

I wonder how many are still intact.

FINAL: I know other kiosks (original TG-16) are more appealing, but I wouldn't mind having that LaserActive one. It would still be fun.

Agreed!

[Necromancer]

That kiosk looks awfully flimsy, cheap, and not at all what you'd expect from a system sporting a $2000+ msrp (with both pacs).

[BigusSchmuck]

You can probably make the display for a 1/3rd of that. Still interesting though. BTW its back up again. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pioneer-Laser-Active-Display/141662707179?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D30157%26meid%3D81357efdc0ec4d3fbfc486ef6b72838d%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D141656219383

It looks like it is local pickup only, that's probably part of the problem.  I would love to have that thing but the price is nuts.  Where is TheClash when you need him?!

[Bloufo]

Quick question:

Regarding the region differences wrt to LD-ROM² based games. BTW, I have an PAC-N1 module incoming.

I'm wanting to get myself that J.B. Harold: Manhattan Requiem  title. It's the Japanese version. (cheaper than it's US equivalent).

So, will the dialogue, etc, still be in English, or if not, is there an option in the menu that would allow me to change it to English?

I have officially joined this club.
