Perfect Dark is great for downloading new japanese releases really quickly.

Unfortunately, it seems to be just about useless for finding old or rare stuff.


Thanks for the info! That explains everything.

I don't want to get offtopic but.. speaking of p2p, anyone tried Perfect Dark? It didn't worked too well for me. Not many results. Not exactly rare stuff. My bet is people over the great island still stick with share or even winny, don't they?

Perfect Dark is okay, I still use it once in while. Definitely requires a hefty amount of HD space and very high bandwidth. You can get some PC-98 ISOs and obscure japanese games but very few. I recently got a new archive of Sharp X1 games that even includes Psy-O-Blade. But I tend to use PD for movies, OST, and asian porn. Share is still best for old games.

Wow! This was released as CD. Gotta find this! Wonder what sorts of enhancements they've made? I'm sure redbook audio might be one.

Various sources say it has voice. Not sure what else it might have.

If anyone has a copy of Alley Cat (1984 or so) that works with one of the emulators I would be grateful ( my copy seems to have some kind of protection sadly ). Thanks.

I have been looking for years for the later version of Lode Runner that I have heard was released for the PC88. I believe it was called the SR version.

Now, the Tosec set file SAYS it is the SR version from 1986, but it is the older version from 1984.

If anyone can help, and with any other PC88 Lode Runner material or level disks, I would be very grateful.

Here is a pack I found. It doesn't countain the SR version (which I am too still looking for) but what seems to be a lot of user-made conversions of other iterations' levels. There might be a few of those commercial data disks, released by 3rd parties, amongst those, but I really can't tell. If you can be of any help in sorting this out, I would be most grateful.

Thanks very much Danjuro! I have a similar pack. I think it is getting time to have a good look at the various level disks and try to make some sense of them - I'll take a look tomorrow.

Thanks again for your help.

Well I wish I could have been of more help, but sadly I don't know nothing at all about the game, excepting I suck infinitely at it :oops:

Bah! Youngsters!

Lode Runner was my first computer game addiction. I used to go to work early to play it on the company Apple ][ way back when! My reflexes are a bit too slow for tight situations now though!

It has been a good day! After hunting on and off for about 3 years I finally found two of my old PC88 CDs. Better than that, I got Japanese set as the language on one of my PCs so I can finally read the one CD. Not that I understand what I see, but at least it looks like sense and actually copies onto hard disk! I'll take some directory lists and put them up over the next while in case there are any files others might want.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I can finally read some PC88 CDs that I had "lost" for several years. I have had a LOT of encouragement, and a PHENOMENAL amount of help from Danjuro, who has done a HUGE amount of translating, so I am able to extract the files and start naming them in "alphabet" or roman characters! I have made a start ( at the top! ), and hope to continue as time allows. There is no point having these files just sitting on my hard drive, so here is the first set. Please let me know of any major cockups LOL! I started with "A" for "Action", so there are 100 "Action" floppies in this set (16MB).

I'd like to say a BIG thank-you to Danjuro who is making it possible for me to finally access all this good "stuff"!!



:wink:
