Dungeon Explorer is not, but Dungeon Explorer II (the US version) had a low-number print run.I got mine for about $90 a number of years ago, and I have to say, it is one of the FEW games that is absolutely worth paying that much for.
atm its just amateurish boytoy shizzle
they will bust me for consuming drug until they found out what it was in real
I'm one of these moes who got DEII for 150- however I got it as a gift- and damn it's good. I practically worshipped the first one BITD so it was a special moment -- seeing Natas again -- and beating his ass again too.
The first Dungeon Explorer is one of the greatest games ever made. Give it some time-- it's not that hard.
I've never played the Japanese version so I can't compare. Obviously I'm sure the cinema dialogue is all Japanese but I don't know about menus and what not.Even so, I'd go out on a limb and say it's worth finding and paying the nominal fee for the US version regardless. It really is that good. I can't think of any other of the "rare" Turbo games I would say that about.
Actually I find DE 1 easiest on 1 player. Many times I played with friends who either A) weren't as good and use up everyone's lives or B) wind up pushing you into a path of fire when patience is called for. Brick wall
