Would this be Y's VI The Ark of Napishtim? I understand that Y's I-V is included in this
release. I agree with what you say about the 20+ age group, and Y's, heck, kids today
don't even know what a TurboGrafx or a PC-Engine is. What on earth are you doing in
Japan KK? Any reaction to the NEC game Culdcept? I looked over the video of it, and it
looks very interesting, like a cross between Y's and Puyo-Puyo, and it's been
translated to English, woo-hoo! Maybe the fact that Falcom released the latest version
of Y's instead of a third party is why it is better??
