Nostalgia...
Hi there, >That's true. MSX games indeed have a certain "magic". I played Dragon Slayer >6 and XAK on the SNES, but it just isn't the same. Maybe it's the music or >maybe it is the graphics. But a fact is that MSX games are best on a real >MSX. I have the same with MSX emulators. That's also not the same as the >real thing. I don't know why. I just feel that way. Maybe that's what they call nostalgia? I agree with you that certain games will be better on an MSX than on other systems. I still get the creeps when I play Metal Gear 2 when guards see mee (I did when Metal Gear (3) Solid was announced, in fact it is the reason I bought a PSX (that and Konami MSX Antiques vol 1, 2 and 3 )). I think it has something to do with playing a game for the first time. If you play it for the second time (and on an other system), you know the storyline already and you pay attention to other things. Just like a remake of an old movie or something. I played Castlevania on the PSX (my first PSX game, because of the audio CD) and that had that "feeling" again. And later, Metal Gear Solid. It is the true sequal to MG2-Solid Snake.

Coen van der Geest wrote: >>Xanadu (dragon slayer 7) Nec > >Wasn't that Dragon Slayer 2? Dragon Slayer 7 was called Lord Monarch. > >But tell me more about those PSX games Dragon Slayer 8 and 9... You're right about Dragon Slayer 2 and 7. I think he got the series somewhat confused. Lord Monarch was the last in the series, there are no Dragon Slayer 8 or 9. There are however 3 other Dragon Slayers, called Legend of Heroes 2, 3 and 4. These are sequels to Dragon Slayer 6, kind of a sidestory. Legend of Heroes 2 starts out very similar to the 1st, but Selios is king now! I've never played parts 3 and 4 which were released for Playstation... LoH2 is for SNES, Megadrive and probably PC-Engine as well. As for Xanadu... There's a recent game called 'Legend of Xanadu' but I'm not sure it has anything to do with the Dragon Slayer series, I only know it exists... There are 2 Dragon Slayer games for Gameboy too... One, simply called Dragon Slayer, is a REALLY BAD game. It's kinda like Hydlide 1 but bad. The other is called Dragon Slayer Gaiden -The crown of the king- (or something like that), which looks like an okay RPG. Greetz, Patriek [EMAIL PROTECTED] ,-. ,. ,-.

Anyway a new lord monarch game has been released on psx some weeks ago. Wrong..kaze no densetsu Xanadu 1&2 on Turbo Duo/PC engine Super CD Rom are Dragon Slayer 8&9...xanadu 1 is subtitled "dragon slayer 8" ( don't make a mistake between it and xanadu on msx :) There are however 3 other Dragon Slayers, called Legend of Heroes 2, 3 and 4. These are sequels to Dragon Slayer 6, kind of a sidestory. Legend of Heroes 2 starts out very similar to the 1st, but Selios is king now! I've never played parts 3 and 4 which were released for Playstation... Yeah,Eiyuu Densetsu 3&4...released on PSX,Japanese PC..:) On Japanese PC has been released too Shin Eiyuu Densetsu 1 ( New Legend of Heroes 1 ),which is a remake of Dragon Slayer 6/Legend of Heroes 1 ( better graphics and all )...like they did Sorcerian Forever too :) LoH2 is for SNES, Megadrive and probably PC-Engine as well. Right,like the LoH1 is too on these ones :) And MSX,Japanese PC,X68000... As for Xanadu... There's a recent game called 'Legend of Xanadu' but I'm not sure it has anything to do with the Dragon Slayer series, I only know it exists... As as i told you,it is the TRUE dragon slayer 8... Eiyuu Densetsu 3&4 are NOt DS 8&9,they are the sequel of the new saga:legend of heroes :) There are 2 Dragon Slayer games for Gameboy too... One, simply called Dragon Slayer, is a REALLY BAD game. It's kinda like Hydlide 1 but bad. The other is called Dragon Slayer Gaiden -The crown of the king- (or something like that), which looks like an okay RPG. Just for your information,compilation of DS6&7/LoH 1&2 is too on PSX AND Saturn.. Greetz, Patriek > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ,-. ,. ,-.

AW: Nostalgia...
Hi there, I don't want to make this a PSX mailinglist, discussing PSX games and all that :-) but since we are talking about the best softwarehouse on MSX, I think we ought to talk about their latest effords too. >Don't kill me but... I don't like Metal Gear Solid. I see no difference >with the thousands of 3D games already existing. You're crazy!!! :-) No, It's not that it's a 3D game. Hello, it's Metal Gear, the best game on MSX. It's in 3D. It's stealth and high intelligent guards. It's different to those 3D games as Tomb Raider, it's beautifull, it has got atmosphere and a story to die for. It's the sequal to the best MSX game ever. Oh man, the sniper gun... It's like really controlling a sniper gun (if you have a rumble pad)... All that and it has music from Metal Gear 1 in it. Talking about the music: I was first a bit dissapointed in the music of MGS. But later on, I discovered it's great film music instead of game music. I expected MG2 like music, but what we have is music which sets atmosphere. And that's what MGS is about: an interactive film. (good example: when you're in the last building, at the steel factory, you have very "warm" music). But it has many connections with MG2: the Helicopter fight, a key which changes when in different temperatures. But that's because it's a sequal. There are even words about Solid Snake being the male Lara Croft, a computerised sex symbol for female gamers!!! >But... have you seen Gradius Gaiden? It is a TRUE reason for buying a PSX! I know, this one is a beauty. And very difficult!! Aargh. I can't finish it in the easiest mode (*hide*) (I finished Nemesis 3 on MSX). BTW: Konami's Gradius IV has been released in the arcade halls by now. Grtz Coen MSX Mailinglist.

It >>is the true sequal to MG2-Solid Snake. > >Have you played Metal gear 1 & 2 or Contra on the NES??? Terrible!!! Still a >lot of people think that's the origin of those games. Recently in Brazil we MSXers had some quarrelling with one or two game magazines, when they prepared articles about Metal Gear Solid. They were saying that Snake's Revenge (something similar to Metal Gear 1 - it isn't Metal Gear, it can't be!) was the predecessor to Metal Gear Solid. However, we've some friends who are Brazilian like us and lives in Japan, and they read in MGS's manual something like that: Chronology: Metal Gear 1 - MSX 2 - 1987 Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - MSX 2 - 1989 Metal Gear Solid - PSX - 1998 And... Snake's Revenge, from NES, ISN'T a game from MG chronology, it was an attempt from Ultra Games to do something similar to Metal Gear to the NES. Finally, the people from the magazines were sorry 4 the mistake (they don't read manuals!), but they hadn't done any correction. So, all brain-washed readers thought that Metal Gear Solid were a sequence to that s**t called Snake's Revenge. Dammit! Only MSX have that playability... ByE! _ __ | __ \ (_| ICQ UIN: 3635907 | | M.
