PC Cocoron screen shots?

show us your researches

The biggest mistake being made here is everyone assumes this is all about money and bragging rights.

What *is* it about then, since you apparently know all about the guy.  

If they guy won't even bother dumping it, its clear that its at least NOT about the PC Engine community at large.

This was the other one that i kept seeing once in a blue moon. I just did a google search and i found this site i have never seen before. Has any of you ever obtained a copy of this? I am shocked to see this site as recent as January 2010. I still need to pick up that berzerk homebrew, mysterious song as well.

Mysterious Song isn't out yet.  I still have plenty of copies of Insanity (Berzerk clone) left. 

I have implode, and meteor blaster dx. Would be awesome to see some homebrew arcade card games take full advantage of that medium. If i were rich beyond imagination, i would hire chris covell full time, and let him choose his team of developers, and make killer new homebrew arcade card games for our awesome little white box. Did he ever give a release date for the cd version of Tonguemans Logic?

Soon, Aetherbyte's going to have a wide-scale release of homebrew HuCard games.   Does that help? lol

You know how people break into the homes of celebrities and steal their home videos in hopes of hitting the home made porn jackpot. Well, perhaps a mission impossible style breaking in to this person's house with a laptop is the only way.

I did some yahoo.co.jp searches for PC cocoron and found several forum messages of people claiming to have played the game. Maybe it is time to track down one of the other owners.

I refuse to partake in such silly activities anymore.

Not after the last face transplant at least.

Hell I was recently offered $2,000 for my Blazing Star AES, way more then double what I paid, but guess what?  I don't need the money, and I love the game, so I declined.  I could have accepted the money, bought another one eventually and still make a profit, but I simply don't want to do that.

What if you were offered that money for a copy that you could make in less than five minutes and for less than $1?  The guy simply doesn't want others to have access to it in any form, and it matters not the reason why (bragging rights, to make his pee-pee harder, etc.)

Take this feeble attempt at research with a healthy coating of salt, not knowing much Japanese makes the matter difficult.

Here is a site of with what looks like direct feed screens from the game that are different from what is on that other site. Maybe it is by the same person, I do not know. But from what I can decipher of a google translation it seems he owns one of the prototype CD's or knows someone who does.

Here are some random old 2chan discussions where people seem to be claiming to own the game. These won't help much but perhaps it would not hurt for a native Japanese speaker to hit up 2chan and try to get a conversation going regarding the dumping of a ISO for fame, glory and cold hard cash. Whoever owns these things are hard core gamers so there is good chance they hang out on 2chan, or know someone who does.

Here is a site with an entry for the game with two users claiming to have it in their collection:

He's got it, and it appears to be a complete version of the game. It also seems to have been shipped to a magazine editor for reviewing since it has "please return" written on the disc. The guy doesn't even know for sure. He sounds like a collector who had no professional involvement with the game.

Here are some random old 2chan discussions where people seem to be claiming to own the game.

EDIT: Some talk like they've played the game. Nobody gives details and there are no follow-up questions. I dunno, this reads like a bad gamefaqs forum. I guess that's 2chan for you.

Anyway, I think there was a Sonic 1 prototype that surfaced in Australia years ago. The guy who had it said that he didn't want to incur the wrath of Sega and refused to sell, but I believe he also suggested that he'd like a five-figure sum when people were offering four.

The good news is that if it's a disc, there's a good chance the guy has it backed up. It's not like old flash memory that's vulnerable to bit-rot. He may have a change of heart and decide to release it yet. It also may take a few more decades.

quote is not edit. sorry.

That last link I gave with two people claiming for have cleared the game. One of them is that Yukie fellow. The other one calls himself murakun and seems to have a website.

Also, he seems to be pretty super hard core judging by the number of PC Engine games he claims to have cleared.

[soop]

Hmmm.  I think you guys are going about this the wrong way.  If the people who have Cocoron won't take money for a copy, they obviously don't value money above these kinds of possessions.

The answer is obvious; you just need to get a Super Grafx Power Console and trade it with him.

I talked with murakun many years ago. he got his whole complete collection from his uncle. everything in loose cond. tho.

[kamiboy]

So does he really have Cocoron? If his games were a free-be then maybe he is not so possessive of his collection and might be talked into it.

Then again it sounds like you guys already went through all of this a long time ago.

[sunteam_paul]

I think the least they can do is release a ton of really nice clear screenshots of the game (the only screens so far are compressed Jpeg and resized shots with antialiasing). Or some video footage.

[Arkhan]

The least the f*cks could do is share it with everyone

It's like getting a free cake, eating one slice, and throwing the rest in the closet.


NO ITS MY FREE CAKE NOONE ELSE CAN f*ckING HAVE IT ITS MINE I DONT CARE IF ITS MOLDY. ITS MINE .   GO AWAY. NOT FOR SALE.
