The first 2 games in Arkhan's links didn't do much for me content-wise ... but they did show that the machine should be capable of some really nice stuff that I might like ... except that I can't read Japanese.
Yeah. The PC-98, and even the 88 really, are a vast open frontier of games we can't read good. The action games are nothing stellar compared to anything you'd find anywhere else, easier. I play them just to see what was going on, and maybe to see if I find any real stand-out games.
Enix had a lot of adventure games. Zarth, JESUS!!!!..
I liked this game too:
Though, I played it when I couldn't read jack diddly dick so I am not really sure what was going on other than shooting stuff.
You may not find a lot of action games that you will feel are really must-haves compared to things you can play elsewhere now. It's the digital comic stuff that you really miss out on. But, if you can't read it, and aren't at least prepared to get out the dictionary and read through it like you're in first grade... you'll likely be waiting forever for most of this stuff to ever be translated. That is the realization I had one day, and finally said f*ck this, time to learn me some squigglies.
You would honestly put less effort into learning how to read at a passable level than anyone would sitting and translating PC98 games and patching them for the white devil.
You can't plug an MSX cart in, although there is a circuit design available if you really want that capability ... but really, why would you want to?
To play my RPGs that have save files on them, lol. If you're only playing Konami action games/etc., this isn't a big deal.
I have Hydlide save files, and Ultima:Exodus!
I guess with your Onechip, you also miss out on being able to use SCC carts, and FM? and flashcarts, NoWinds, and all of that stuff.
I have the Toshiba music cart, too. You plug a real keyboard in and play music. It's neat.
