Hi! As this is my first post, I would like to introduce myself: I am a developer of the original Xbox scene, although years ago I made my first videogame programming experiments with the PC Engine. I have always been fascinated by these Japanese machines since then.
Now, I am doing a port of the "Neko Project II" emulator to Xbox, and I am discovering the wonderfull PC-98, so... I finally decided to join your site. I am really excited about learning things from your forums, and trying to share everything that I can.
At this point, I would like to ask a little thing: as you know, a lot of PC-98 games have adult content, and other huge amount need Japanese knowledge to be played. I would like to add a warning message in my release, because a lot of Xbox users are parents that play videogames with their children, and they may be upset if they play random PC-98 games with them, without having verified if the games are suitable for all ages.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a list of games with these 2 requirements to recommend to test this emulator:
1) They can be played without Japanese knowledge (maybe they are in English, or maybe they are in Japanese but they can be played without much trouble).
2) They don't contain adult content (I have nothing against sex! I only want people to be warned about this).
Of course I know the
http://www.pc98.org site, and it has an excellent list of "all ages" games, but most of them are in Japanese. So, at the moment I have not found much games with these requirements. Until now, I have found Columns, the English translations of the excellent Farland Story games, Carax'92, Jump Hero, Prince of Persia, Runners High... and nothing more. Well, I also found Rusty, but unfortunately I have not been able to make it run in Neko Project II (it seems to be an issue with the clock speed, but I am still debugging it).
If anyone could recommend me some more games with these requirements (no nudity, not much Japanese required), it would be very usefull for me, mainly because I could talk about these games to the beta testers of my port. That would help me a lot in the development of this port.
Maybe in the future I will ask more things (for example, related to this bug that makes impossible to run Rusty for me), but I think that for now, this post is already very long
Also, if I can help in anything, do not hesitate to contact with me.
Thank you very much in advance!
