Text of the page (random words):
to have some unlockables that aren t available elsewhere but i digress after putting it off for some months i sat down and gave it a spin and whelp it feels decidedly more spartan than the saturn version or what i remember from it character sprites while good and sharp have some odd colors here and there might be caused by the composite signal backdrops have certain digitized photo look to them which i m not very fond off and the painted on detail is actually not detailed enough and music music is okay i like the pce sound but the game s soundtrack isn t all that to be honest it s fun hearing familiar tunes played back as they once were intended but really later versions does it much better lastly i just can t help but feel i m having no real way of planning out the weeks in the game it was a while since i last touched the saturn version but i want to remember it being much better at visually indicating if a test was coming up or if i had a date on one day or just showing anything really but don t get me wrong the pce version is still very much playable and it s still fun in the beginning anyway as tokimemo can get pretty dreary after a while when you do the same thing all over again but it mixes things up enough for it to keep it interesting and it s easy to forget just how much content there is in tokimemo my mission was simple unlock a specific mini game by being active in the computer club and playing close to three full years okay well simple maybe isn t the right word but it doesn t sound that hard either you just have to man up and play the game almost to completion however i was off to a bad start as i wasn t entirely sure about what i needed to do at first maybe it didn t help i opted to continue from where i left off after my little test run instead of starting a new game either anyway after doing a double check in the instructions i quickly joined the computer club and began to slowly but surely raise those stats speaking of which this is a good time to try and win the heart of yuina himoo the mad scentist girl since you ll be in the same club and all and maybe you re wondering what is this pc engine only little secret it s a mini game force gear a caravan styled horizontal shooter with some heavy vibes from other konami titles it s not very long the controls are a bit clunky the end boss is hard but it s quite fun and the music is nice it s quite charming actually and it s obvious that more work has gone into this game than you d expect hg101 wrote a little piece about it here so is it worth picking up tokimemo just in order to play force gear i d say that depends on how much you like tokimeki memorial there are alternative options for those not wanting to do a full run through an old dating sim presented in moon runes these options are either finding an iso with force gear already unlocked or unlocking it with some kind of cheat device well in the game on the first culture festival i demonstrated some kind of love compatibility computer software compatibility with our blue haired genius is deemed to be normal mission status could go better i spend the year trying to get her on a few dates as well as raising more stats and taking care of read dating the girls that approached me because of said raised stats christmas was spent alone as i wasn t allowed entry to pretty boy ijuin s mansion appearance stats probably too low how sad second culture festival twinbee returns unlocked shame it s not a very great looking game also i m terrible at it but it s something at least situation with himoo is good she secretly has the hots for me i think though she called the game i made stupid mission status making progress even after raising the good look stats a bit christmas was alone again ouch and then finally the third culture festival will this be it will i unlock what i ve been seeking no himoo performed a live hacking demonstration and took over a military satellite instead i guess that s something oh and she totally has the hots for me now sometime here the me in the game also said something about sending a game in for a competition huh oh well mission status failed decided to keep playing with this being the last year and all and then after the new years eve the results for that earlier mentioned game competition is in 3rd place can t remember but surprise surprise screen goes black and force gear starts mission status complete almost as you can see it s a bit of work to unlock this hidden feature the only thing that remains at this point is to finish the game so that force gear will be playable straight from the omake menu in options and i did even if a bomb did go off and lowered the relation level with the girls but how did it eeennnnd yeah this felt quite good actually regardless how much i suck at force gear i have been wanting to at least try it for quite some time and i mean it s a transforming mech sidescrolling shooting game with gradius vibes in an overly fluffy pretty girl game does it get any cooler than that february 21 2012 in books games loot 1 comment loot 2012 02 21 alright first loot post in 2012 there s games books music and anime both in ld blu ray yup think we have all bases covered this time the how to draw manga books came from the same amazon purchase as the collectors edition of redline since i wanted to reach the amount needed for free shipping as far as how to books goes they re neither bad nor great they feature some interesting inteviews but they don t teach you any techniques besides draw more p and as for redline haven t watched it yet i m thinking of watching it the first time with some friends for maximum effect moving on then to music let s just get those sailor moon cds out of the way first one turned out to be some sort of drama cd but giving it a quick listen usagi s voice is all i can hear upon closer inspection there are songs in there they just start after 1 or 2 minutes of the characters talking weird that they didn t separate the tracks the full op ed is included though so it s not that bad i suppose as for the other one it refuses to play i ve tried that disc in basically everything that i own that can play a cd and it just doesn t work weirdest thing is the cd looks pretty good too no big fingerprints hardly any scratches but there seem to be some kind of something just around the inner area maybe that s it i ll need to see if i can clean it somehow aside from sailor moon there s also two albums from mariko nagai who i discovered late last year through youtube and the anime yawara there s mostly good early 90 s j pop in there and some slower songs as well good stuff lastly there s an album by the group pink sapphire a tv sized version of their song p s i love you is played in the main menu of the first galaxy fraulein yuna game so that s where i heard it sadly it also has some kind of playback problem during the first track wonder what i can do about that 1st op for yawara the song is miracle girl by mariko nagai p s i love you by pink sapphire on to the games then there s bomberman 94 for the pce hucards are totally rad which needs no introduction since it s well bomberman same goes for daytona usa then there s jetmoto which i have fond memories of playing the pc version i borrowed from a friend when i was younger and finally there s racing lagoon which is this rather interesting tuning racer mixed with a healthy dose of rpg elements complete with an over world mode and enemies that forces you into a quick battle should they hit you with their car from squaresoft of all companies now the character cg models haven t aged well at all the driving feels floaty and slightly off but the music is for the most part so far bloody fantastic oh and then there s noël not digital because i could i m not very good at these kind of games noël 3 on the saturn gave me a bad end oops but i m strangely attracted to them and with that we move on to the last group the laserdiscs last time there were 5 of them this time it s only 4 but all very good with this i can add idol defense force hummingbird to the list of completed series and bubblegum crisis birdy the mighty all purpose cultural catgirl nuku nuku gets another one each hummingbird is probably the only anime in my ld collection so far with the possible exception of the dirty pair tv series that i haven t watched in any shape way or form before actually getting it as a whole it s a pretty nice series but the later two episodes while trying to build up tension and be all serious like well not really wasn t as enjoyable to me as the first two specifically episode two is my favorite by a clear margin it s the most consistently animated having lots of good key frames introduces two new likeable characters and out of all four lds is the only cav one which is weird since both episode three four clocks in about 30 minutes as well also 3 4 has a different art direction where the girls doesn t have the same colorful hair and the drawing style is slightly changed as well still quite enjoyable for what s it worth also yes my bedsheets have an elephant theme going on you are now jealous until next time february 15 2012 in loot reviews 5 comments mini review scart to hdmi 1080p scaler i ve got a pretty big loot post coming up but before that i want to share my experiences with one of those scart to hdmi upscalers in a little mini review of sorts if you re interested in reading more about scalers gaming here s a great site to check out you see the crt tv i ve been using for retro gaming ld watching isn t actually all that great it s a big chunky 32 widescreen sony wega crt that 99 percent of the time only gets feed with 4 3 content it s got the wrong shape for the job really also when viewing a 4 3 image on it it squishes the edges ever so slightly once you notice it you will see it every time though it s especially evident in horizontal scrolling games but also any time a movie or whatever pans horizontally one simple solution would be to get another crt tv and that is a solution i ve been thinking of for a while but haven t been able to go through with there is two reasons for this 1 people often don t specificate what tv it is they re selling sony crt will be the most detailed description you will see also almost never any pictures of the back or information about the inputs available they will say if it has scart because scart is important to people here but s video composite component no you simply won t get that from 99 99 of all sellers looking to get rid of their old fat tvs 2 they re big heavy and generally cumbersome i can t lift one myself and in order to get to my room you have to climb a set of stairs not fun with a tv so i m kind of looking to save space by getting rid of my current crt and plug everything back into my lcd tv the proper way this time i used to just plug things in and it worked all right didn t notice much input lag but with the pce i got image problems with interlacing and artfacts in some games with a scaler though you let it take care of the image from your preferred video source and scaling it up to the native or close to resolution of your lcd tv problem is a good scaler like those home cinema ones are disturbingly expensive though brand name is part of what you pay for and there happen to be tons of chinese no name scalers listed on ebay so i tried my luck with one of these a scart one because what isn t directly connected to my tv goes into my scart boxes behold the scaler this isn t a proper review to get that out of the way i didn t actually play much with it as i was more focused on how things would look would it work at all the unit itself feels very solid it s got a metal casing and certainly weighs a bit setting it up couldn t be any more simple scart goes into the scart socket in the back hdmi cable goes into the hdmi socket on the front add power and you re done but what s the end result well here are some pictures i took ps1 rr 4 pal scart ps1 gits ntsc s video pce ntsc j composite to scart let s analyse these shall we first up was ridge racer 4 running on my pal ps1 through scart the result is a bit odd the image has black borders and isn t centered also slightly squished ghost in the shell was running on my ntsc j ps one through s video through scart and as you can see the scaler didn t like s video no color just black white although in full screen pce then no won t work don t know why technically it s a ntsc j composite signal put through one of those xbox 360 scart connectors but running it directly into the composite inputs in my scart switches didn t change the fact that i got no image the best result was achieved by my laser disc player which outputs an ntsc composite signal that goes directly into one of the scart boxes still stretched to full screen however this highlights the biggest problem aside from getting a proper image everything is mercilessly stretched to 16 9 and for some reason i can t change the aspect ratio to 4 3 on my tv actually none of the two tv sets i ve tried this on allowed me to change the aspect ratio to 4 3 once the scaler was powered on and therefore it is to me quite useless sadly as i stated earlier there are many many many no name scalers available on ebay but also amazon it might be worth a shot but don t be surprised if you get a similar result january 17 2012 in anime games 1 comment game comparison yuna vs yuna remix i was thinking of writing a few lines about the new anime season but i m waiting for episode 2 of the shows i m following so that ll have to wait instead i m going to do a little shoot out here with two versions of the same game 銀河お嬢様伝説ユナ ginga ojou sama densetsu yuna or galaxy fraulein yuna i m going to issue a 56k warning here i don t have any proof but quite i m confident that a great many gamers and anime fans haven t heard of this particular title before and i don t blame them with the third and last game released for the ps1 in 1998 and a series of ovas released around the same time kagurazaka yuna is indeed an icon of times past there is a compilation of the first two games sought after spin off ginga fukei densetsu sapphire released for the psp in japan 2008 but i m not really counting that with artist akitaka mika at the helm galaxy fraulein yuna is a classic multimedia franchise including everything you would expect games anime cds the lot the plot revolves around the cute but somewhat ditzy 16 year old kagurazaka yuna who just happened to win an intergalactic beauty contest the ginga ojou sama contest hence the name and with that suddenly became an idol with all that entails however not only does she receive fame but also the title of saviour of light and must do battle with evil forces in this case her rivals from said competition who have had their hearts stolen by darkness and that s the gist of it sounds corny to you it is but i think the game s straightforwardness works in it s favour the series started out on the pc engine w...
