Favorite Japanese games?
« on: May 14, 2009, 09:53:22 am »
Curious to see what folks' favorite Japanese games are in MAME.
Especially if you think you have an obscure title one that's pretty good.

Tried Legend of Heroes the other day myself and it was surprisingly good,
if a little formulaic.

Define Japanese games. You mean games made in Japan or games that were only released in Japan?

Either, I guess.
Probably I'm more interested in the ones that were only released in Japan though...

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

That's an awesome game. Was Puli-rula Japanese only? That's a great one as well.

So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

I like the game "Quester" that namco put out.. it's basically Namco's version of Arkanoid.. even Galaga/pac-man make cameo's in block form.. Try it out if you have a spinner on your cab.

Make that three. That's a great game.

Was Blazing Tornado only in Japan? If so, I love that one.

I also love this one... Best bosses ever. Giant spiders with cat heads and babies. Very cool and bizarre.
