Any Ys Collectors here?

One of the cooler things I've seen from later releases is that Ys VI came with a disk with a version of all the earlier Ys games, including Ys I, II, III for the PC-88 I believe and Ys IV and V for the Super Famicom along with a soundtrack.

Ah yeah, that's the "~ Ys Complete Works ~ I - V" CD which came with the Limited Edition of Ys VI. Ys I - III are the PC-88 versions with emulator and IV and V are the SNES ROMs merged with whatever SNES emulator they took. It was interesting that Falcom did that.





I also have the big Ys VI guide book by Falcom and "Kadokawa Game Collection" - It was a gift from David Shadoff that he found in some Japanese gaming shop on one of his occasional trips there. He also got me one for Falcom's other lesser known games, Zwei!!.

Does your Legacy of Ys 1+2 for DS come in extra thick box with music CD?

Yeah, that's it. I was kinda shocked when I popped it in and saw the Super Famicom games since V was done by Tonkin House. It's a damn shame that Dawn of Ys has been ignored since it's so much better than Mask of the Sun. Even the Ys Art Book released recently by Udon omits Dawn of Ys, I guess since they couldn't get the rights from Hudson.

No, unfortunately I don't have the version though I've seen it before.

[Necromancer]

Even your tablecloth/rug/whatever looks kinda Ys-y, like the screen border or something.

If any of you Ys collectards want some more Ys stuff...  $80 shipped will get you these two little guys   The Ys 3 has all sorts of cool extras like a mousepad and artbook thingy (much like the MSX version)

[NightWolve]

Ah, the ole Sharp X68000 also had Ys grace its presence.

[BlueBMW]

And an odd port it was....  Very different hehe

Yeah, that was the launch version I think.  I've got just the case/manual/cart version too, but I really like the Ys releases timeline they've got in the DS manual.

Is that the one that is really odd, or are you thinking of Ys II Special.  I recall there being 1 really strange Ys II, pretty sure it's this one? 

Though, I recall there being one with ridiculous realistic artwork, maybe that's the X68000 version.

Edit, just found it!

I have Ys I-3. My passion is castlevania

[NightWolve]

Ugh, that's some ugly ass portrait artwork...

Here's most of my Ys games:




Most of my Ys goods:





Noticed a few things missing. I guess it wasn't all in the same boxes when I moved. Hope it all turns up.

[NightWolve]

Ah, you scored that ole 1998 Ys Eternal for the PC, one of Falcom's first DirectX5 videogames! I actually started a fan translation project on that retro version - I wanna port the work we did on Ys I & II Complete to it. I got as far as script extraction before sidetracking to other things I wanna do, but it's still on the ole TO DO list for whenever.

[RyuHayabusa]

Nice collection, Black Tiger. I see you have the Kyodai US PC release of Ys I. I've been trying to get a hold of it but just missed out on it twice. Also want that Ys I Eternal that you've got. As mentioned earlier, I have both the Japanese and Korean versions of Ys II Eternal coming in the mail. You've definitely got me beat on art books and manga. I take it those are VHS copies of the anime, right? Haven't seen those before.
