Rare JAPANESE saturn games. JPN only

Thats what I thought will most likely match it, but the serial still is different. My cover says GS-9017 and the demo's is SGS-9024 :shrug:

Maybe I have the backcover of a sample/review-version of it? I admit it seems rather unlikely, but I have no other solution available.

The games inside are sealed as well, right?

 

Crazy. I was looking at that earlier. Nice rip in the bottom, no value as a new item.

 

Yes, I have this and the games inside are sealed.

 

Thanks jp.

@wheelaa
I wasn't gonna buy this anyway, just wanted to show an example for what I'm talking about. I just planned to stuff 2 sealed PDs inside that box and for not letting it look stupid (in case they wouldn't have been sealed), I did some research.

I assume same goes for the Puzzle Bobble 2x + Space Invaders boxset?

 

I have that one too and the correct answer is yes, those are sealed as well.

I always wondered about how this game may be. Is it playable (effort included) for guys like me who can read & understand only very few japanese? And what's the story about? I imagine a strange nightmare like in the movie Jacob's Ladder

Is it a sequel or a remake of the PC-Engine Hyaku Monogatari?

 

Nope, without knowing Japanese very well you'll get nowhere. Well, t hat's a lie. You'll get some where but you won't have a clue what's going on. So since it's a story based game it's pretty pointless playing it if you can't understand Japanese. It's a great shame because there are so many great titles that would probably sell well if they were translated.

Thanks for the answer, I refused to bid more on it then, finished for the shame of 1300yen mint+complete.
One reason I wanted it for was the great cover artwork.

More questions to come. I received Enemy Zero Special Edition today. Naw, not the 610k Yen thing, but the standard 3D holo cover edition that was made for the mortals.
I just wonder if there ever was a backcover made for the spines of the front-cover. Would be rather pointless I guess, because the 3D thing takes all the space, but on the other hand it looks quite trashy in the shelf this way.

 

Nope. Just the 3D front part. No side bits were made for it so it looks odd on your CD shelf You could always buy a cheap normal printed version then place that cover behind the hologram one.

Can you post a picture of your special edition Enemy Zero, I never saw one before. Many thanks.

 

He means the "normal" special edition not the massive crate version that you bought from yahoo auctions (Lucky bugger!!). Man, I would have bought that if I hadn't just bought a car.

There are 3 versions of Enemy Zero.

Very rare crate version
Hologram type cover version
Normal version

Here's a direct link to the hologram version on my site. You'll see that the front cover looks doubbled because you can't really scan the cover well. http://www.segagagadomain.com/saturn5/enemyzero.htm

basically if you've seen the normal one then you've seen the hologram one. It's pretty much the same apart from it looks more flashy.

Note that the Hologram type version generally runs about 80 yen.

 

I see. thanks so much. Yes I guess I was lucky but still, I paid a fortune:-(

 

We might have to add the Satakore-version :nod:

 

Oh yes, forgot about that one. Thanks, ave :nod:

Is Pastel Muses any good?

Looks fairly interesting, but the Saturn mag gave it only a 4,5/10 which disappoints me a bit. Its very hard to get a copy of it as well, actually I never came across one so far.

 

I liked it. There's a little review on my site if you want to check it out.

Like Yakumo, I too liked PM. Think Bust-A-Move on its side. Then again, I'm a puzzle nut at heart.

If you like puzzlers, here are some other quality Saturn JP only puzzlers:

-Waku Waku Monster
-Pukunpa
-Coin Puzzle Moujiya
-Chibi Taisen (sorry don't recall full title off my head)

And so on. They're all pretty scarce, but last I checked, none are over $40 or anything.

Keriotosse! and Hissatsu! are two fairly rare JP obscure Saturn titles. I enjoyed both, though in recent years came back down to earth with these games after their OMG novelty wore off.
