Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Cool stuff.  Don't know how many hours I thumbed through those mags drooling at the pix back in the day. :)

For those who may not know, the game that's featured above Strider is Dragon Half.  I wrote a quick review somewhere around here but didn't get any pictures posted.  Those magazine pix pretty much show most of the stuff in the game.

Honestly, I have no idea.  Haven't played it yet.  :oops:   I've never read much about Brandish although it looks like a pretty cool game.

Isn't like Warriors of Fate or something? What's it called on PCE?

It's called Dynasty Warriors and yes, it belongs to the Warriors of Fate series as far as I know. It flickers very much and isn't the best version. But it has some great tunes (intro, ending). During the game you get PCB sound. I like this game very much from the time I saw the first images of it back in 94.

As for Brandish. I used to play it some years ago for some days. I think you can get through it without knowledge of japanese. It has a very uncommon style as the playfield turns 90 degrees when you turn you chararcter. That's a little bit hard to get used to. All in all I think it's an average game with a nice intro.

Very cool! What's that mech game they call Full Metal Force? Do we know it as something else? Mad Stalker?


Also, anyone care to start identifying all games in the smaller features? I'm especially interested in the ones in the right hand vertical row of the second page (160). Also, the second to last horizontal column on the last page (161).

Hehe, it's Mad Stalker:Full Metal Force.

 Other sections of the mag: in depth look at - 3x3 eyes, Startling Odyssey II, Advanced V.G, World Heroes 2, Dragon Knight III, Debut, Monster Maker(ver?), Emerald Dragon sequal (or not - looks the same and by the same team though), Megami Paradise.

BTW, STG=shooter and there is interesting pic too :D

whoa, awesome stuff, thankyou.    I don't think I've ever seen much of any PC-Engine magazine before.


edit: I had no idea there was a translation of Warriors of Fate on the PCE  :shock:

I don't think you could get through Brandish unless it was similar enough to the SNES version that the english faq would be useful.  There were many spots in the game that relied on you deciphering text clues, so if you can't read japanese you'd be pretty much lost.

It's a picture of the PC version of Steam Hearts.  Should be able to find a copy of it on the internet somewhere. :)
