That's cool, he was involved in original works, games that were unofficially ("fan") translated, and ports of western games, lots of opportunity for interesting questions.

Toru Hidaka is one of great early ENIX programmers and he wrote good programming books. By chance,I have bought some books from him directly by email early this year. From talking with him,He put his heart into physical training like a wrestler. Anyway,He was involved in some PC-88 games. HAUNTED CAVE* Magic Garden* El Dorado biography The Earth Fighter Rayieza Hokuto no ken JESUS GANDHARA* Ultima Ⅰ(Pony canyon) BURNING POINT PRAJATOR AD&D POOL OF RADIANCE JESUSⅡ *main programmer If you want to get in touch with him,you can see the e-mail address by following his web site. http://njprog.com/qabox.htm He lives in Saitama Prefecture now,which is next to Tokyo. |

Email sent. Thank you! You know what would be cool? Is if I could also get Koichi Nakamura and Yuji Horii together, and then recreate that original photo with the surviving members. A longshot, but still... I have a possible contact point for Koichi Nakamura. Yuji Horii I'm not sure about - apart from official channels. |

I might be a little late, but best of luck, Sketcz! I hope you bring back a lot of really good information and really shed some light on development stories that would have otherwise go untold. |

I've got an appointment with Toru Hidaka! Most awesome. I am really looking forward to that one. He's still got a working PC-88 and promised to show me his stuff in action - "as it originally was". |

Awesome research, maybe I can request one? I would like to know about the crew that localized Prince of Persia in Japan. |

Does anyone have or know where I can find a download of, and information on, Rambo for the PC-8801 and FM-7? Not Super Rambo, just Rambo... Were the versions on these systems ports from elsewhere? Or were they bespoke? Googling in Japanese doesn't bring up too much. Not even screenshots... |

Can't seem to find anything about it either. Have you got any more info (developer, year)? |
