I figured I’d make a miscellaneous upload category. Some of these old retro Japanese computer games got remade on the PC.
Briganty: The Roots of Darkness
The graphically superior but oh so musically inferior Windows port of the PC-98 classic. Yes, they converted the original music to MIDI. But, this archive also contains the PC-98 version. So there.
In any case, this is a great platformer/beat-em-up with awesome music (for one of the versions). No Japanese knowledge required.

Hydlide: Download EditionThis magnificently done remake was translated into English by Derrick Sobodash of
CinnamonPirate. Now you may have heard ill tidings surrounding this game but almost all of these problems have been addressed in this remake. Except the music. It uses music from the very first Hydlide; the PC-88 version of 1984. And this music will drive you mad. So, Derrick was also kind enough to provide you with a
music switcher. I suggest switching to “Out of Freedom” myself but you can also use any wav file of your choice. Just drop it into the music folder.
Some truly awesome aspects of this game:
-switch remake/pc-88 mode with the mere touch of a button
-automatic joystick configuration
-optional killjoy mode if you press a certain key… (good for a replay but makes the game way too ridiculously easy)
Due to a coming change in
Ninja’s integration, the patch has already been applied.

I uploaded Thunder (Lightning) Warrior Raidy about a week ago but seeing how it’s getting an English localization in a few months, there’s not much of a point in linking it. I plan to upload the Wordsworth remake in a week or two. If anyone’s got the PC-98 version, I could add it to archive.
