[General Discussion] Recent Game Purchases, or what I bought instead of fourteen new dildos this weekend

i went crazy and got a bunch of import psx stuff

[SLPS-02068] Oekaki Puzzle [Superlite 1500 Series]
this is the equivalent of mario picross. it's a puzzle game where you're given a grid and some notes on the grouping pattern of the squares filled in. it's not as complicated as some logic puzzles, but it's pretty fun anyway. 500 different puzzles divided among 5x5, 10x10, 10x20 and 20x20.

[SCPS-10108] Poketan
this is an aid for japanese people to learn english and isn't really a game. it is a flashcard type system where a kanji is displayed along with a bunch of blank spaces and a couple letters. you fill in the blanks and try to spell the english word given by the kanji. i guess it does a fairly good job going from someone knowing english to learning kanji compounds. the main highlight of this "game" is that you can upload the data to a pocketstation and take 2 lessons at a time.

[SLPM-87319] Twinbee RPG [PSone Books]
a basic RPG in the Twinbee world. not very kanji heavy making it somewhat easier for people familiar with a bit of japanese. havent played it too much, but it seems to be pretty decent

[SLPS-02555] Rescue Shot Bubibo
Guncon Game. that's pretty much all i need to say <3. it kinda reminds me of gumshoe for NES.

[SLPS-02808] Sakkyoku Surundamon Dance Remix
it's a loop based music creation program. it's ok. it has a handful of loops, but there isn't much freedom to it. pretty good for a psx effort though

[SLPM-86692] Beatmania - Append - Club Mix
yay. i really like the interface of this mix. it also has a variety of songs that are exclusive to this mix. certainly one of my favorite mixes.

[SLPM-86216] Captain Love
dating sim style game. haven't played this one too much. occasional voice acting was present.

[SLPM-86775,6] Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories Vol.2 - Leaping School Festival
konami's dating sim. haven't played this one much either, though it looks a bit better in quality than captain love. plenty of voice acting, a nice anime opening, and a minigame within the first 5 minutes of gameplay. this one definitely gives a warm welcome

[SLPS-91517,8] Summon Night 2 [PSone Books]
a isometric strategy game. only went through till the first battle though. it seems to handle like the turnbased strategy games (like fftactics). a nice intro, plenty of voice acting. i also noticed a bonus section that contained a couple production sketches and conceptual design note things (rather empty of course having just started the game)

and that's it for now...

How ya doing, buddy?
