I really like Star Breaker.

Agreed.  It's still kind of derpy though.



It's got that same derpy charm as CF2 to me.

I like it too but from a certain point in the game, it kind of always goes the same. I always had to use the same tactics against the bosses and it's a shame that even though you go from one planet to another, the planets are so small with only one village or two.

Yeah, well, its a PC Engine game, not some 50 million dollar PS3 game from Square. Rayforce was a REALLY f*cking small company.

I know that. I would have prefered less planets but with more villages and a little bit more mazy. I think they came with the idea "travelling in entire galaxies will be great" but when you look at it, you only encounter one maze in an almots 40 hour RPG. They wanted to make an RPG that would last long rather than a shorter but more challenging RPG.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, the numerous bosses are really cool and impressive, I love the battle system and the chara design, don't get me wrong on this one.

Edit : and I enjoyed the spaceship fights.

About the repetitiveness (is that an english word?) of the game, after some time spent on the game, I didn't have to wonder where to go and what to do as it was always the same pattern over and other again. It's OK for players who can't read japanese as it makes things easier for them, not for me.

Rayforce doesn't have any bad games really.

Is there a comprehensive site out there with all the PC-Engine translation patches to date?  It seems I've missed a lot of these.

We need a compiled list and a sticky.

A list would be nice.  Just in case Ive missed one..  lol.  Right now the disc games I have translated are
Code: [Select]
Xak III
Ys IV
Startling Odyssey II
Dracula X

I believe thats it.  I dont have any translated ROMS, although I know they are out there.  With no flashcart, I have no way to play them except via emulation...and after having actual hardware, I have kinda got away from that.

There's also Motteke Tamago and Super Daisenryaku, Bernie.  Romhacking.net has many of the disc and rom translations, but not all of 'em (no SO2).

Don't forget Puzzle Boy. Good thing Puzzle Boy got translated. That game had me bewildered until I discovered the single menu option was "Quit." I got stuck playing that thing for days once; I didn't know what to do!

.....Some of the decisions on what gets translated are downright odd.

I've heard the excuse that some of these things are done as "tests." Tests for what, I'm not sure, nevertheless, the people doing said "tests" never seem to actually go on and do anything else. They'll show up out of nowhere, translate all two strings of Japanese in a game like Puzzle Boy, and then disappear back to wherever they came from, never to be seen again.

Some real Field of Dreams shit right there.
