Yeah, I'm not rich, far from it. Just been saving a lot and decided to finally purchase some of the games I've always wanted - I have to say, I've been collecting for a very very long time, and the feeling of finally touching and owning a copy of Darius Alpha is fairly intense  :D

Ah ah, you got me here SuperPlay ;)

Yeah, it was too late last night to post about this new update, my brain was swimming in jello  :wink:  I played Lady Sword all the way to the end and added a couple of goodies to the review page, such as a bestiary, I'm still really impressed by the amount of enemies in this game!

@Bardoly
Thanks a lot mate, I really appreciate your awesome feedback! I've been really busy on other personal projects, but I always work on Video Game Den in the background and add new goodies here and there. I wish I had more free time and add new reviews more frequently.... oh well...

Hi everyone!

Here's a new update with more manuals:

Legend of Hero Tonma - PC Engine
Saint Dragon - PC Engine

For anyone interested, the Legend of Hero Tonma page also has images for the unreleased Famicom version, including ads -  the game was surprisingly not released despite being nearly finished from what I can tell. Enjoy!

Awesome! I didn't know about the Famicom version.

Thank you :)

Hi everyone!

Here's a new update and manual:

Mad Stalker - PC Engine


@esteban
Thanks! I would love to see and play the Famicom version of Legend of Hero Tonma. It is such a shame that it was cancelled, because it looked virtually finished... I wonder why Irem decided to can it... the same thing happened with Meikyu Jima, well, the other way around actually, it was released for the Famicom but the PC Engine version was cancelled. So weird...

I know! It must be about $$$ and management either cutting losses or shifting strategies. Do we have any evidence of major personnel (executives) leaving IREM at the time the projects were cancelled?

Of course, it probably has nothing to do with drama like that.

Most likely a simple matter of "will we even break even if we release this?"

Oh, it's you, you have an account here (been here 13 years I see)! I snagged some Final Blaster screenshots from your site some days ago, but had no idea you were a member. Thanks for the updates! :)

You've got a great page format, very informative, pretty, etc. I'll say that, but...one block wall-o-texts need to be broken up into paragraphs though. ;)

That's some excellent advice!  ;D
