Nice work, but I suspect we'll be seeing "Ultra RARE! English Ys IV!!" on eBay before long

Random statement about Son Son, a couple of people I knew think that the cartoon "Monkey Magic" is based off the Son Son game.

And the gameplay is based on Black Tiger/Black Dragon the arcade game.

The whole 'monkey' thing is a long standing Chinese legend.

It's an interesting read, especially comparing it to the live action TV series http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002PC2RC/qid=1127342488/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/202-5767662-0467824

One of those Monkey games on the PSX was actually really good, it was a side scrolling platformer with 3D backgrounds and a pretty good sense of humor. I can never remember which one it is though, Monkey Magic or Monkey Hero.

You're thinking of Monkey Magic, which I have yet to find a copy of. I'll be honest, I like Monkey Hero, it's considered a terrible game, but, even with all it's quirks, I enjoy it. The ol' Monkey King legend or whatever, has resulted in quite a few games over the years, atleast starting with the Famicom on up. Not to mention that Dragon Ball(including Z & GT) are loosely based on it. Think about it, Goky uses a rod for fighting, he rides Nimbus, plus there's Oolong. I believe the turtle & Master Roshi are taken from that legend as well. There's some live action movie, that in the US is called Dragon Ball, but actually isn't connected to the anime.

The live-action Monkey show was often on TV (UHF, baby!) during the early 90's, that's when my brothers and I watched it. It was subtitled in English. Totally entertaining.

Now I love watching the Korean soap operas that they play here (southern cal). THEY ACTUALLY HAVE ENDINGS, granted it takes a long time (a few months). Some of them are quite good -- relying on honest drama to propel the storylines... like a more subdued version of Eastenders (British soap opera).

And thanks to the folks who answered my question (about Son Son !! ). Much appreciated (it was driving me crazy).

And there's of course the classic Chinese Odyssey from Stephen 'Shaolin Soccer' Chow.

Dang, I want that, & the sequal, but it sound like they're only subtitled & I'm one of those guys that can't stand subtitles, I crave dubbing.
