Looks interesting, but do I need to download an emulator to play it?

If I do, I don't think I'll bother. :|

[Zebbe]

Yes, you will need an emulator, a patch program, the patch and the ROM. I tried it and didn't like it. I hear those text adventures were released on the Mega CD in Japan (yeah, the games had so much MEGA POWER they needed a whole CD to store those games!)

[Man-Fish]

I think if I tried to download all that stuff my computer (8 years old, still has dial-up) would explode. :?

[Zebbe]

All of it could probably fit on an old floppy diskette (1.44 MB).

[Man-Fish]

My computer is so amazingly awful that it would have a hard time downloading even that (not to mention the inevitable disconnects). :(

I should probably get a new computer. :sweat:

It's not lost... it's been on the Game no Kan discs since 1994. They where just repackaging of the Phantasy Star 2 text adventures and Seganet games.

Roms and ISO's have existed for a long time, but not translated. Hopefully the other games will be translated soon.

Yeah, what Davey said. I actually have a couple of the Game Can CDs and they each have a bunch of PS2 text adventures on it (one for each of the main characters). They suck ass.

They suck ass.

Just like the original PS II imho.
