I stumbled upon this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Manic-Game-Girl-RARE-limited-Korean-PlayStation-PS1-/260727657009 A copy of a Korean PlayStation game called "Manic Game Girl", it's starting bid is set at 299 US Dollars. I've never seen this game before and I couldn't find out much about it on the internet as well, so I figured this forum would be the right place to ask about it. Here's the auction photo, re-upped of course: According to his nickname, the seller is also the owner of Playstation museum, the only page on the net that seems to have covered a little information about the game: http://www.playstationmuseum.com/games/NTSCJ/SLPM88501/ PUBLISHER: Joycast Entertainment Corp. DEVELOPER: N/A STYLE: Action RPG RELEASE DATE: 2002 GAME SIZE: 393 MB UPC CODE: 8 809086 891012 PLAYERS: 1 PLAYABILITY: N/A PERIPHERALS: Memory Card 1 block, Analog Control Compatible, Vibration Function Compatible Intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAqpASltcoA&feature=player_embedded And a Korean blog entry with more pictures of the box and screenshots: http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=hisoka7&logNo=20112181238 Seems to be some sort of beat'em up / hack & slay action game with a female video game playing superhero??
hey thanks for posting the information! I haven't seen or heard of this game before either but I have heard of the seller and his stuff is always overpriced. I wonder how much you could by that game for on a different market? I honestly doubt it would be that expensive, but then again I could be wrong. I'll do some digging as well. -Disjaukifa
I know, but I'm more interested in the game as a collector's item. To be honest, I wasn't even aware of any Korean exclusives for the PlayStation... o_o
Yea yea after seeing the ridiculous price on the bay (several years ago), I decided to buy it from a Korean online game shop. It was about 25-30. PS wondering if he ever dumped some of the Unreleased ps games such as Ghost Rider and black n white.
I am really curious about this game. I have read only a little information about it... that ebay copy looks nice but the price---did this game get really low print run? (Obviously not huge); just wondering how easy it is to find in Korea.
I would guess because it was done by a Korean Dev Studio and they didn't have the funds to translate the game to other regions . . . but like I said I'm only guessing. -Disjaukifa
I think it was supposed to see an international release originally. It was developed by Joycast and apparently the english translation was well underway if not complete. I believe Joycast was working on a deal at one time with Conspiracy Entertainment for North American release but I don't know why it fell through. Gaming Age article First Look: Maniac Game Gal (PS) has some information on it as well as some english-language screenshots!
Nice find! I wonder if there is a preview/review/beta copy somewhere that has the game mostly translated to english, that would be an awesome thing to see! -Disjaukifa
