JB Harold 2???
« on: February 16, 2012, 02:55:11 PM »
On of the comments on the latest Game Sack video was talking about JB Harold 2 which was left only in Japan for the PC Engine CD.  I think this guy is probably full of it but I'd love to be proven wrong.  I can find no evidence of any other JB Harold game for any PCE configuration other than Murder Club.  Is true?

Definitely not true, unless you count LD-ROM games.

It was not released on the Turbo or PCE, but they are undoubtedly thinking of Blue Chicago Blues on the PC-FX which is, actually, JB Harold 2.

Didn't Blue Chicago Blues come after Manhattan Requiem?

Hmm, maybe. I'd never heard of Manhattan Requiem until just now. I'd always considered BCB to be JB 2. Either way, Requiem wasn't released on either the PCE or the PC-FX so it's doubtful they were referring to it. Unless it came out on the Laseractive for use with the PCE PACK, in which case, maybe they were.

It did come out for the LaserActive with Turbo pack but it was also released in the Land of Opportunity known as the Great United States of America.

Well then that couldn't have been it.

I still bet they were talking about BCB. They probably saw it in a game list, maybe on this very site, and didn't notice it was in the list for "PC-FX" games not "PCE."

There is your first mistake...someone with the power to post a comment on Youtube has the same internet that you do. Maybe their Google-fu is not so good or they just wanted to get thread started. At least you saved yourself some time and came to the true source for all P-CE/FX related infos.

Sidenote: I learned (or forgot and re-learned, brain cells an't what they ever where) from your LA episode about the LD-ROM Manhattan Requiem release. I have Murder Club for PCE but never could get into those type games...again, I can't remember shit, even RPGs give me trouble. Guess I'll stick to shooters.

Blue Chicago Blues is number five in the series, with the first four starting out on the PC-88:

1) J.B. Harold Murder Club
2) Manhattan Requiem
3) Kiss of Murder
4) D.C. Connection
5) Blue Chicago Blues

JB Harold loves the US so much, trying to solve a case in each of its cities.  Too bad he rarely releases his games here.

It's a damn shame Kiss of Murder and D.C. Connection never came out here.  Has anyone ever played these games?  I really enjoyed the other 3 (especially the LA games, which did come out in the U.S.).

Looks like there was a DS version of Manhattan Requieum & Kiss of Murder!




Edit-What the crap!  There was a DS version of Murder Club!

God damn it.  Why didn't anyone translate these and bring 'em over?  Surely they were dual language like Murder Club and Manhattan Requiem, right?  No?  Damn it.
