How the heck do you pronounce "Veigues"???
« on: May 05, 2007, 12:16:48 AM »
I've heard:

VAY-guss
VEE-guss
"Vegas"
VEEG-iss
VAY-gyooz

and about fifteen other variations.

I'm tempted to go with "VAY-gyooz".

I always pronounce it like Las Vegas, haha. Games with strange titles are fun cuz everyone thinks of the pronunciation in there own way.

Growing up, we just called it VEE-GEE-US.  We had no idea.  To this day we still call it that.

Isn't Veigues made by Game-Arts and released in japan by Victor JVC ?

Still I really like the graphics in that.. shame that the mecha is soo big >.>

Veigues is a great game -- the big mecha works as far as gameplay is concerned... unlike, say, the bloated sprite of Rastan Saga II that wasn't given a stage design to match the sprite's proportions (IMO, anyway).
