I played through Ys6 when it first came out in Japan. Fun game. I didn't
know what to think since it went all 3D and everything. :) Anyway, the
music was nice. Kinda reminded me of playing Ys on the PCE. For some
reason I felt Ys6 was shorter than the ones on the PCE, but it's been
awhile since I played those, so maybe it's just me.
I bought the limited edition of Ys6, which is all you could get for the
first month or two after release. Among other things, Ys1-5 is included
for free. Ys1, 2 and 3 are the original PC98 versions and Ys4 and Ys5 are
the ones on the SFC. They are all emulated.
Not much to say about PCE these days it seems. However, about a month ago
I was up in Tokyo and bought a lot of PCE stuff. :) I keep hearing that
there's less and less PCE stuff than before but for the last few years, it
seems that the quantity has been pretty steady. Granted all the so-called
rare stuff isn't as readily available as it used to be.
With that being said, just in March, I managed to get Bazaaru de Gozaaru,
The TV Show, and Go Go Birdie Chance. I've been reading online that those
are some hard games to find. YMMV is suppose.
