It INDEED was i who have been searching for this game ever since the early 90's wheni wanted it So bad even way back then, when it was advertised in GAMEFAN Magazine. The release date was at one time printed, but it was short lived, become "TBA"(To Be Announced), which was frustrating, as i had called There retail store at least 3 times a week to bullshit, as well as check on the status of the games arrival in the land of the rising sun.
My price started out meager, with $200.00 for just a cdr copy, but i was a naive man, being a newb to the emu, and trading scene for the kick ass PCE, but i thought it was failry decent. I then got laughed at by many a gamer in the scene for said naivity, and upped the price to a larger sum, then eventually pitching the $1,000.00 offer for a cdr copy, with other trusted members of the NEC community tossing in their offerings as well to up the price, to go after Yuki. it never came about, since i didn't ahve the money at the time i was serious , and then i eventually went through a break up with my ex-fiance, and then going after the woman i stood up for the ex, and pursuing it to what it is now today, an engagement to be married in December of this year, and PC Cocoron's hunt, by me, has ceased for now, but still haunts me in the corners of my mind, and heart, as well as my soul.......i INDEED, would pay 1,000 dollars for a cdr copy if someone obtained it now, but as far as me obtaining it, it won't happen, my personal search has been halted for now, and i have used many search engines to find a seller in other countries, but was fruitless. For anyone wanting to get multiple searches in one fascinating multiple search engine program, look no further than Copernic Agent Basic, or the Pro version.......it DEFINITELY helps finding multiple hits and brings the results back to you.
PC Cocoron, and ANY other demo/prototype game for the PCE has my interest til the day i die, as i love that little white box!!!!!!!!!!
As far as the famicom version being like the PCE version, yes, and of course, no. the PCE version is an updated version all around of the Famicom one, but the famicom version is indeedy a fun game, and you should by all means play it with the translation patch. I think it is quirkily fun!!!!!
Yuki has been the ONLY one with the awesome pictures of this game in action, and are the ONLY pictures i ahve ever seen of this game from the title screen, to the end screen, and NOT EVEN GAMEFAN HAD these pics, or ANY other gaming mag from across the seas, or in the USA, so i KNOW Yuki is authentic. It si just a shame she rubs it in our faces. As far as i know, this person is a she. My one crazy contact(PCE) from the hub, tried to get it from her for me/us, i fear he might have scared her off with is oddity of communication skills(Scarily odd duck that boy, but i DO like him!), and she might not be interested now. he DID mention that she needed a few titles from me that i had, and MIGHT trade up, but she is HORRIBLE at english, and not even a translating program could save her.
maybe some one can get the fire going again.
I am open to helping a little bit at this time, but not sure how much since i am preparing for my wedding in December.
Talk to ya'll soon!
