My thread about Japanese exclusives on the Mega CD might be helpful. A few games are in English, a few others are playable without Japanese, and the two Game Cans have been translated (at least the PS parts have). The rest is wide open.

This man knows what he says, I hope the dragon slayer games are left for last, Vixen 357 should be the next one. or Hybrid Front.Quote:

I love RPG'ish games, good and bad and I love the Mega Drive/Mega-CD, so I'll take any and all we are lucky to have translated. There's also Aisle Road, Death Bringer, Fhey Area and Cosmic Fantasy Stories.
If you can't handle Dragon Slayer, then you'll really hate After Armageddon and many other untranslated Mega-CD games.Quote:

There we go, see all those games mentioned? There's PLENTY of RPGs for the Genesis/Megadrive and CD. They just haven't been given a fair chance over here.
There are still plenty of MD games left to translate. I can think of at least one that wasn't even mentioned. ;)
The thing is that most of them don't need a translation. It's just the RPGs and strategy games, and there aren't that many.
Then you obviously weren't playing it right. Did you finish it? The battles aren't random and enemies can be avoided in the same style that's become popular since Chrono Trigger became the standard by which RPGs are judged.Quote:

Your talking about the game that has the auto battle feature in it with Dragon QUest battles and princess Sylvia and all that. The encounter rate is high, scroll up I never said Random, I remember fighting for hours in a tiny area just to be able to survive the walk to the next town.
Regardless of of its random or not you have to fight a ton
RPGs are pretty much my favorite genre, as well.Quote:

And NWSC was the one game on this compilation that supported the 4 player adapter.
Nice list. I think you've covered just about every game there.
I'll help with the few missing Chinese ones:
- Chao Jí Dà Fù Weng (Board game)
- Shuǐ Hǔ Zhuàn (RPG)
- Shuǐ Hǔ Fēng Yún Zhuán (Beat 'm up)
- San Guó Zhì 5 (Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5) (Strategy)
- Tūn Shí Tiān Dì III (Conquering the World III) (RPG)
- A Q Lián Huán Pào (Puzzle)
Okay, thanks. It would have been funny if Sega released it as "Sega World Cup Soccer" in the west then :).Quote:

We have a few Chinese board members though, don't we? Maybe you can work something out.
Any hacker at ROMHACKING.net would be happy to work on a Chineese untranslated Genesis game if he had a willing translator already at hand, i am an over decade member from there and have been involved in the translating world so trust me.Quote:

Well, how hard could it be to find an english speaking chinese person?
I always thought the problem was on the technical side of things.
It is, but in the eyes of the "rom hacker" its not worth the effort of decoding the game unless he has a willing translator for said game project ready beorehand. Like making a movie it requires a script.
That game isn't exactly text heavy, it wouldn't be a lot of work to translate it. We should be able to find someone on here that would be willing to do it. So let's hear it, who here is fluent in both English and Chinese?
I just checked out the rom, it looks exactly like Nintendo World Cup soccer, but with 16bit graphics,Quote:

Would be amazing to have a repro of the finished product though,
just change the main title to say "Sega World Cup Soccer" and translate the game.. or change the story a bit,
how did Nintendo do this? did they cut out the story or just make it bland without any Kunio mentioning?
Funny, none of those titles you listed are worthwhile to me. Lucky moi.Quote:

yupQuote:

Just because you haven't heard of them before hardly makes them "no name" games, and I get the feeling that you haven't given most of them a chance. Ignorance is bliss I suppose. Troll harder next time.

jerry coeurl, I don't think he intend to be a troll.
Based on his comments, he's just a plain idiot and, probably, Nintendo-biased (pleonasm here). Plus, some ignorance...
He does not understand the concept behind Game Sack videos and not even know about Monster World (== Wonder Boy means nothing to him).
I wish I could do something about but he just born, it's too late now.
whoa, for a second there I thought I was on any other video game forum. It appears we have our new troll to fill the void we hadQuote:
