DANGERMAN Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've never played this so I'm up for this. Is it easy to emulate then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've never played this so I'm up for this. Is it easy to emulate then? I've had epsxe set up for ages but not tried anything with it yet. There are instructions on the forum that has the translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Got it working! Quick and easy. Pm me if you're unsure, or i can put instructions in a spoiler tag. Played the first 10 minutes. Loving it so far - the graphics, the atmosphere, the tone of the game - it's like playing an anime. The intro was great. Playing it with my snes usb controller.

radiofloyd Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 3 hours in now, it's brilliant. Anyone else playing it? I can honestly say i've never played anything like it. It's like a Japanese take on a point and click, except there's no inventory, progression is all through dialogue. Maybe it's a genre in Japan? I don't know. I guess it falls in the "visual novel" category.Shame that it wasn't localised though, or that there haven't been more games like it since. The story has been fascinating so far, and mature. You really get sucked in to the world of Beyond Coast. In the location i've just been you can listen to the entire game's soundtrack on a shelf. And it's a soundtrack as good as any classic rpg.

wholehole Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I had no idea there was even an english patch for this. Downloading now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Still playing this every day, on to Act 2 "Astronauts" now. "Love and space" is how I would sum up Policenauts. It's funny. On the one hand, the game is sleazy as hell, there are several female characters in the game you can "touch", "smell" and even "eat" (the script is amazing). It's true, there are things in this game that some people would probably find very objectionable and I couldn't really argue with that. And yet, it's easily one of the more mature games I've played (quiet in the back). It must be those sad, wise Japanese voices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I will probably be looking in to getting this working tomorrow to make sure I at least attempt it before the end of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 On a retro-related note, I have to recommend Matt Barton's excellent Matt Chat videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/blacklily8 His interviews are really a treasure trove. Of course they aren't all about old games but his most recent retro one is a nice interview with one of the developers of Pool of Radiance.

radiofloyd Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 End of the month, let's keep the ball rolling. Anyone want to pick a game for March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've still not played this one tbh, I was planning on it this weekend if I get Metal Gear done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've still not played this one tbh, I was planning on it this weekend if I get Metal Gear done Well Policenauts is the kind of game you would play for 15-20 minutes at a time anyway, I'll definitely be continuing it as well! I've got a healthy list of games I want to play so I know what I'll be picking if nobody else makes a suggestion, but the floor is open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 To Keep the Kojima theme going I have this copy of Metal Gear Solid 2 that my brother left behind I'd play. Plus, any Silent Hill from 2 to 4. They're not that retro but that's what I'd suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
