BS Dragon Quest I

Nintendo Satellaview - Unreleased

The nature of this ROM has been the cause of much fan speculation due to the fact that it takes a completely different form from normal multi-part Satellaview ROMs. Whereas the vast majority of multi-part Satellaview ROMs exist online as separate episodes, the BS Dragon Quest ROM is a merged ROM containing all four episodes. Although multi-part ROM merges like this have been performed by fans and hackers in the past (notably true for BS Zelda no Densetsu), the degree of difficulty involved in such a task often requires the work of multiple people and there is no evidence that such a collaborative effort was ever made. Furthermore, the resulting ROM produced by such an effort would most likely be geared toward emulator compatibility whereas this ROM is not. Finally, the fact that the ROM's BS-X checksum is valid would be highly improbable for a ROM hack. Investigations into the origin of the ROM file have led to claims by the creator of the BS-X Cult, Pachuka, that the ROM was originally stolen in the 1990s from a person known only as ROMar. Current fan speculation favors the notion that the ROM is actually a prototype associated with the February-May 1996 Satellaview broadcasts. The major difference between the prototype version and the broadcast version is that the prototype version contains all four episodes in one ROM. The player selects from the start menu which episode he wishes to begin, which items he wishes to begin with, and what the values will be for certain character stats.

BS Fuurai no Shiren: Surara wo Sukue: Dai-1-Shuu

Nintendo Satellaview - Released - April 28, 1996

BS Furai no Shiren: Surara wo Sukue is a Downloadable 4-part Soundlink game for the Satellaview that was broadcast in at least 3 runs between April 28, 1996 and August 2, 1997. The gameplay of BS Furai no Shiren: Surara wo Sukue is substantially similar to the earlier roguelike, Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Furai no Shiren, a game released for the SFC on December 1, 1995 and subsequently localized for English markets in March 2008 as Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for the Nintendo DS. BS Furai no Shiren also bears similarities to other Mystery Dungeon games including Dragon Quest Yangus, The Nightmare of Druaga, and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Like other Mystery Dungeon games, BS Furai no Shiren: Surara wo Sukue is set in a fantasy land based on feudal Japan, and it falls into the roguelike genre. The titular hero of the game, Shiren the Wanderer, moves in a turn-based fashion through a series of maps filled with monsters, traps, and items. The maps, referred to as dungeons, take a variety of forms including traditional dungeons, caves, forests, etc. When a player is slain, he begins at the start again with stats at the base level, however he can regain items that had previously been stored a warehouse.

BS Torneko no Daibouken

Nintendo Satellaview - Unreleased

Based on teaser footage depicted in a 1990s Satellaview commercial, BS Torneko no Daibouken appears to be a Satellaview update to the original September 1993 Torneko no Daibouken: Fushigi no Dungeon for SFC, the earliest game in the Mystery Dungeon series. The game is also linked to the Dragon Quest Series as the character Torneko is the merchant from Dragon Warrior IV. Current fan speculation seems to support the idea that BS Torneko no Daibouken was most likely canceled prior to a Satellaview release.

Dragon Quest IV: Michibikareshi Mono Tachi

Sony Playstation - Released - November 22, 2001

This is a remake of the NES game Dragon Warrior IV. The game utilizes a chapter system, where each chapter is dedicated to the personal stories of one or several main characters. The first four chapters tell the stories of the soldier Ryan, who sets off to investigate the disappearance of children in a nearby village; Arena, the princess of Saintheim, who dreams to become a martial artist; Klift and Burai, a priest from Saintheim Castle and a magician who watched over the princess when she was younger; the weapon dealer Toruneko, who wants to become the best in business; and the two sisters Minea and Manya, who search for the person who murdered their father. In the fifth chapter, the Hero (or the Heroine) of the game finally appears on the stage to lead the party to the ultimate battle against evil. The remake features updated graphics (a mixture of hand-painted and 3D graphics, similar in style to Dragon Warrior VII), some changes in battle system and AI, additional sub-quests and mini-games (building an immigrant tower, monster collecting, etc.), as well as a post-game chapter with more insight into the game's story.

Dragon Warrior VII

Sony Playstation - Released - November 1, 2001

The story begins when the father of the protagonist brings home a map fragment from a fishing trip; this map suggests to the protagonist and his friend that the world had, at some point in its past, many continents, though now there is only the small island of Estard. The two of them find a way to travel back to the past, when the continents still existed. The continents are facing serious problems that threaten their existence; the protagonist and his growing party work to resolve the problems, and when they do, the continents reappear in the present. When all the continents are finally restored, the Demon Lord, who is responsible for the loss of many of the continents, appears and seals away many of the continents again. He then raises up his Dark Palace, where the party face the Demon Lord in a final showdown.

Gandhara

Microsoft MSX2 - January 1, 1988

Gandhara refers to the capital of the Kushan Empire, (today's Pakistan and Afghanistan), founded in 1st century BC, whose rulers were Buddhists; it was one of the most flourishing Buddhist states in history. The story of the game, however, is based on pure mythology, featuring Buddhist deities in their distinctly Japanese incarnations. The protagonist is contacted by the bodhisattva Akasagarbha (known as Kokūzō in Japan, from the Chinese Xukongzang), who tells him that the world is in danger: the king of demons is trying to locate and neutralize the holy Ashes of Buddha, whose power protects the eight worlds. The hero's task is to find the ashes and defeat whomever the king of demons might send to stop him. One of Enix's works that were unreleased outside of Japan, Gandhara is an action RPG with rather simple gameplay mechanics. The player navigates the hero through hostile top-down areas, fighting constantly respawning enemies with sword or magical spells. Rations must be bought in order to keep the hero alive. Defeated enemies grant the protagonist experience points; once a certain amount of those is accumulated, the hero levels up and grows stronger.

Great Hits: Get Down with the Beat

Sony Playstation - Released - October 29, 1998

Great hits is one of those games that bends over backward and touches its chin to its ankles trying to do something different. Great Hits is a music simulation where you pick a character and attempt to make him/her a star by creating a series of hit video clips. It's also a collection of some of the most bizarre songs in a game and oddball character designs. The clip making feature is pretty easy to use, but a good deal of the music will make you wonder what was being passed around during programming. If you think you can put up with songs titled Cheap Bicycle, dA!gA!dA!, Scottiy Pizza, and Bad Ending, this is definitely up your alley. The menus and some of the interface are in English, and the truly brave will no doubt venture forth and seek out this one- everyone else, steer clear. Create your own dance music video on the Playstation. Enix provides the basic tools and methods for directing and choreographing your own video masterpieces. Psychedelic colors and trippy pastels appear to be requisite elements.
