For those who don't know what "LOXII" is, the proper name is Dragon Slayer VIII - The Legend of Xanadu II. The game is not very expensive comparatively speaking.

I too want to get my game on with LOXII, is there a large language barrier by any chance?

Yeah, what Turbo D said.

Well, now I just feel stupid. I thought LOXII was another great, unheard of PC Engine game and all this time I've been clamoring over a Xanadu game! ](*,)

Knowledge of japanese is not required to play thru the game!  Also, it's technically called The Last of Dragon Slayer.  Not sure if that means, it's a part of Dragon Slayer 8, or if it litterally is 9, kinda of like how Legend of Heroes 1 & 2 together are aka Dragon Slayer 6.

Wait, the Xanadu games are sequels to Legacy of the Wizard for the NES? Awesome!

Dragon Slayer is f*cked up.  Why have so many different sub-series within?  Why not just create a different IP instead of just grouping everything under one series?  Maybe we dropped one A-bomb too many and it jacked up their logic?

I don't think still pictures do these shooters justice.  Those MUSHA pics look awful and quite boring, but when actually playing the game it looks fairly nice.  I still haven't ever played Space Megaforce.  That's a game I'd like to pic up if I can find it.

Yeah and Sorcerian is part of the series too!

You got Dragon Slayer I, Romancia, Xanadu, Drasle Family (LotW), Sorcerian, and then all the legend of heroes / xanadu confusion.

The MUSHA pics aren't too bad IMO. The colors are nice and bright considering it's a Genesis game. Wish I owned it. :cry:

The only game I own in that set is Spriggan, and of course Spriggan is a visual masterpiece.

all three shooties are great. but spriggan tops 'rem all! musha aleste is one of the TOP shooters on the MD. so is super aleste for the SFC (if only those boring bonus stage where not there!!).

and behind all 3 the same developer worked on.
