Rayxanber 2 spoiled and more !
« on: September 06, 2007, 06:00:25 AM »
Hi !!!

I've just released a new update for Video Game Den - there's now a complete fly through Rayxamber 2 and I have added several PC Engine reviews such as Gulliver Boy, Ninja Ryûkenden or Takahashi Meijin No Bouken Jima.

I've also opened a brand new art gallery where I'll post some original art work. I'll add more in the future and they will be (I think) all related to the video game world.

Don't hesitate to let me know what you think about this update. Some friends already told me I'd been a bit harsh on Ninja Ryûkenden, giving it only two stars... but if only it wasn't so unfairly difficult...

Nice update and screw that damn raisenbar!  It kicks my ass all over the place, especially those tight corridors in stage 6.  I doubt that I'll ever finish this bastard - I suck to much.

I'm surprised to learn that HuVideo only allowed 16 colors.  The captured videos that I've seen looked pretty damn good, and I didn't even notice the limited colors.

P.S. - So the first artwork is Corebot 2.  What happened to Corebot 1?

Awesome!  Your site is one of my favorites for PC Engine reviews, but above that, I really dig the art.  I'm looking forward to the gallery.

A question about the site....

Next to your reviews, there is a box that says "add your pov here"

What plans do you have for using those boxes?

Very nice looking site!

Thanks for your great comments :)

If someone is interested to write his own point of view about a game and send it to me, I'll add it to the review's page. So far, several people contacted me and said they were interested to write povs, but never actually did it... If you are interested to write your own, send them to me (here) and I'll publish them (and you'll also be credited for it in the list of contributors).

Thanks, I'm glad you like the site. I wanted to add this gallery for a while, I need to do more illustrations and I thought this could be the best opportunity to get back 'in shape'. The first Corebot is sort of the one I used on the HuCard game selection menu ... but I spent a bit more time on the one pictured in the library and like it better I think :)

Sounds fun!

I think my views of both Image Fight and Blazing Lazers are the opposite of yours, so my take on those games will be different. BUT, let me finish playing through Blazing Lazers before I send my comments on that one.

I can't believe you haven't received more submissions! It's a very nice site. You're into two of my main systems:   Famicom Disk and PC-Engine  :-({|=

Totally awesome screenshots! That game looks really sweet!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

What? HuVideo supports all 256 BG color palette. Most frames are inbetween 50-70 colors on average. Also, the video is uncompressed.

Well.. I wrote a huvideo converter and insert some converted footage of BubbleGum Crisis into GulliverBoy, so you can trust me on this.


Btw, I love your site  :D
