The translation may be okay, but the PCECD version of Xak I-II is terrible, buggy, and missing content. The added anime cutscenes are cool and all, but that's all. You're much better off playing the MSX2 or Super Famicom version of Xak 1, using a fan-translation. No better choices for Xak II, sadly.

Never thought I'd spend Halloween wrapping up the final stretch of Ys IV. Great game, minus one maze towards the end. Otherwise this was a tremendous flex from Hudson with what they could deliver on the PCEcd and an incredibly fun ARPG!

not to harp on it but this is a game that I think would've had a much larger footprint (& larger than than of nominally similar, recently-buzzing micom games like Dead of the Brain or Laplace no Ma) if the PCECD version didn't absolutely smother the vibes (to say nothing of recent developments...)
here it is! i wrote a clunky brain drump on onryou senki, the rosetta stone for megami tensei and every j-horror game you love

Ah, I always wondered what that text said when I would play the Arcade version a ton back in 2018. I remember the PCECD version also had these blurbs along with cutscenes with voice acting.

実際のファミコン版は全曲オリジナルになっちゃってるけど
他の人が作ったPCエンジン番の曲をファミコンアレンジしてるのを見つけて結構聞いてた
ラストハルマゲドンは石版集め以外の細かいイベント部分はだいぶ脳内でとろけてしまったけど見た目とエモノがいたぜのインパクトがとにかく記憶に残ってる
あとミノさんや一部の肉付きの良い魔物＆エンディングの全裸シーン

Cartridge based Nintendo & Sega systems as well a the PCE tested and Save for the N64 there are no appreciable performance issues. The N64 runs a little laggy but not unplayably so.
Next is a test of CD add-on systems like the PCECD & SCD.

Had to re-add a few missing BIOs files but once I did the PCECD & SCD were on par with SNES, SMD & PCS performance-wise.

Cool! Thinking of it, I think my copy of Magicoal for PCECD is still sealed. I can't remember if I opened that to play yet.

...Also, Zero does not color-swap enemy sprites! Which is rare for a 16-bit RPG! My favorite sprite may be the tiger boss in his battle bot: it's nostalgic.
Zero makes me want to check out the other Far East of Eden games. I'll try to throw a few on my PCECD core soon

I feel like I really should love PCECD Valis IV but something about it rubs me the wrong way. Idk if it's the enemy placement, Amu's awful double jump, or something else not coming to mind but it just has some issue that makes me only wanna rate it a 7/10.

Seems to be some issue involving Valis III
It's the only ones you also can't buy individually on the eshop and the PCECD one was on collection 1 and the MD one was on collection 3.
The publisher never mentioned a delisting so no one knows what happened.
