>The Hanjuku Hero series

>Another Mind (PSX)

>Alchaest (Super Famicom)

never played Live A Live but from the pix i found it looks like a cool game

 

[genjiglove]

I've heard Tom Sawyer is one of the worst games in existence.

I don't know how the fuck, but I had Thexder on my computer when I was a kid. That is weird, I'm absolutely certain of the name too.

 

[redrum666]

GameArts made Thexder but the Square develop the conversion for the Famicom Sierra ported in the US for IBM PC, Apple II, Commodore Amiga, and Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer

I have a translated rom for Live a Live.

And it's pretty cool if you have some time to spend..

>Square's Tom Sawyer (Famicom)

I hear it's based mostly on the Rush Song...

Alchaest (Super Famicom) is a nice action/RPG game =)
I love this game so much.
Oh, Human developed and squaresoft was the publisher for this game.

there is a reason you've never played these games, they suck! seriously, square would have pimped them out in a PSX collection here by now, like they did with the old famicom FF games.

yeah, me too. There was a transforming robot, if i'm not mistaken?

Alcahest seems good. I played twenty or so minutes of it a while ago. Then i went and found a walkthru on gamefaqs and i discovered i already had botched something. I haven't gone back and started the game again (too many god damn games i want to play) but i should; it's more action-oriented than some action-rpgs and i like that.

DashK is right... the only import by Square that was actually worth playing was Bahamut Lagoon and I don't think most Americans would go for that game either. Front Mission 1 was fun at first but got incredably boring toward the end. I tried a few of these before and they're just not that great.

yeah, there is a reason final fantasy saved square from bankruptcy, it was their only decent game series until the PSX i'd say (besides chrono trigger).

I played Alcahest. I loved it. Very old school, straight forward game, killer graphics, real time action. The gameplay resembles Noigear a little bit, but with no SD characters.

I want to buy this cartridge.

what about Rad Racer the game that put them on the video game map or was that 3D World Runner i forget LOL

Thanx for the feedback y'all.

I do have this PSX Squaresoft import called "Soukaigi".

It's a action adventure game.

The soundtrack is awesome. Most of the stage music has vocals.

 

[Youkai]

A Japanese rendition of Tom Sawyer?

weird

Yup. It exists.

Nobuo Uematsu did the music for it too.

I just learned there's a Japan only 3-D Worldrunner Sequel.

 

[metal_slug_az]

Was 3-d world runner any good? I got a copy at the goodwill for .50 and have not played it yet.

I don't think those games are bad but Square USA was too lazy to port those titles.

US missed a lot of good titles during 16-bit & 32-bit eras.

 

[StealthLurker]

I have thexder for famicom... it sucks compared to the PC, Apple IIgs and Amiga version

for $0.50 its a good game if you payed over $1.00 then i would say you got rip off

 

[2Dfan]

I own all the JPN Squaresoft titles on my SNES.

Seiken Densetsu 3 and Treasure Hunter G are by far the best, great stuff

 

[Youkai]

Aw man that's awesome. Owning every Super Famicom Square title, that's hardcore.

-----------

3-D World Runner is almost a dead ringer for Space Harrier.

racing lagoon was a great game.
street racing many years before any fast and the furious flik.
