I actually owned that game at one point, that’s what’s really sad.

I remember something similar for 3DO, the 3DO Blaster, but I was previously unaware of the PC-FXGA that allows PC-FX games to played on computers.

This one is compatible with the PC-9800 series:


There is also one on ebay that is compatible with DOS / V (not sure what exactly the /V is):

Jesus, imagine spending months or years of what little time we have translating shit like that. Or being one of the 10 people who are actually excited to play it. I don’t know which one is worse.
People with way to much free time on there hands I would have been interested in something like this when I was like sixteen. I’ve got barely anytime for Video Games these days but when I do it’s better spent on games that are actually good.

tbf, Team Innocent doesn't have any fanfare, and it's mostly a point and click adventure style game. If you are going to play something on PCFX, this is one of the few to play.

It sucks because you’re 45, playing a vidya game system from 30 years ago designed for 15 year olds.

It sucks technically that is what the video was about.
I don’t understand this 30 year old thing. Music from 30 or 40 years ago was also designed at adolescents kids at the time. Still good so no worries.
Films from the 1940ties are still fun to watch.

62 official releases for the PC-FX.

I used to have (like mentioned earlier) 59 titles with only 3 lower end games missing.

and then sold everything in one go to that one PC Engine fan from Italy when I realised how pointless it is to aim for a PC-FX full set.
