Youtube: PC-88 Paradise (new video on the shmup "Final Crisis" is up!)

[kazekirifx]

Hi everybody. My brothers and I have made a new Youtube channel called "Basement Brothers" and I am making a playlist for some in-depth reviews of games for the NEC PC-8801 under the name "PC-88 Paradise". Please come check us out since we are a new channel and we could use your support sharing, liking, subscribing and commenting.

The first video is a very long and detailed look at Ys 1 for PC-88.



(As you can see we currently have a number of arcade board footage videos up on our channel. Now that we've changed the channel name we are planning to do more in-depth videos with editing and narration like the Ys video.)

Thanks for your time and feedback!


Update 05/14/2017:

The second video in the series about the Falcom "shooter RPG" game Star Trader is up. Please check it out and give me your feedback!




Update 08/30/2017:

The third video is the first non-Falcom PC-88 game in the series. Please check it out and let me know what you think



Update 09/14/2017

The fourth video is an in-depth look at the particular model of PC-88 which I own. This one is especially interesting since it uses part of the PCE hardware as an add-on.



Update 12/20/2017

I've finally made a new video! This time I am covering an impressive shmup that was released late in the PC-88's life (1991). I'd be really interested to hear what my fellow turbo folks think of this game.

Subscribed.

Splendid. I love all of the extra background information you included (wiring money for mail order, liner notes, the sleeves for the floppies, one save per floppy, unused music!, etc.)...

Needless to say, make more PC-88 videos.

Your commentary about the game itself is interesting because you make references to other trends/games that were contemporary to Ys I (for example, the fact that Ys was a "beginner ARPG")...Ha!

Definitely continue pointing out the "little details" you notice whilst playing the game...

Plus, it's useful that you compare/contrast to other versions of Ys I for other platforms...

y + s = yes

I gave you a sub as well.

LOL that glitch.

Glad you guys liked the little details. I always worry that those sorts of things will bore the casual viewer. Glad to be among people who think alike here.

Good vid, tossed a thumb up and a sub....

Those PC88/98 boxes are so chock full of goodies from back then.  Keep up the good work!

Just subscribed. I changed your subscribers count from 666 to 667. I am sorry Satan.

Excellent production values for a early release on the channel, nice job! Subbed

Yeah, the little tidbits are interesting. I wouldn't worry much about casual viewers, unless you are trying to make money off it. Good stuff.

OH MY GOSH! Someone doing PC-88 content in English on YouTube, you have no idea how much I've been clamouring for that!! Subscribed ^^

[nectarsis]

Very cool....subbed as well.

[kazekirifx]

Can't thank you all enough for watching and subscribing. Really glad you enjoyed the video. I'd better get to work making the next one!

Looking forward to when you cover the Game Arts games ;3
And maybe the Enix ones too, if you'll do them...
Either way, good job ^^

I own some of the Game Arts and Enix games for PC-88, so yeah, they are definitely on the list if I continue this series long enough. I live in Japan and am always searching on Yahoo auctions and Surugaya, so I am always expanding my collection (though to be honest the amount of PC-88 games available nowadays is quite sparse. Some titles almost never appear on the used market).
