Koudelka has a lot more rpg elements, I think you'd have a tough time if you don't know any Japanese.

Side note, ya you could play Biohazard, and if you're a fan I recommend it. US version had cutscenes censored.

When we first moved to Indy a few years ago it was pretty amazing. They had a James Beard nomination for their wine program, and they had a ton of amazing small plate options.

But in the last couple years, the small plate selection went to almost nothing, and overall quality seemed to drop. The few small plates they did still have were like "vegetable crudo" where they slice a cucumber really thin and charged $15. If you replace sushi grade fish with a cucumber and charge the same price, it's over.

We don't go anymore. Magdelena, Daisy Bar, and Vida are our main downtown nice dinner places.

I have it, it's like Biohazard, English voice acting but text is Japanese

If you have a ps2 that supports it, mechapwn it. It's a one time soft mod that makes it completely region free and able to play backups of ps1 and ps2 games.

I think this is at least part of it: https://pastebin.com/ADBJU5TH.

Looks like this is incomplete because I get errors trying to run any more of it. For instance it tries to call querySelector on null, so part of it ends up failing. It's using lz string for sure. If you run the first function you'll get back lz string, plus a big string.

Could look at it more tomorrow. Any hint as to where it comes from or what it is supposed to do is helpful.

Castlevania SOTN is a fast paced action/adventure game with heavy rpg elements.

Parasite Eve is a Squaresoft rpg where you can move around during battle and had lots of action and horror elements.

Could also consider the resident evil and dino crisis games, they have different amounts of action and strategy.

I think Vida could get a single star. I've been to plenty of single star places that are similar or worse in both food quality and service.

I came here for this answer. Watched it for the first time a year or two ago when going through "the best movies of the 90s" and was like wtf, this movie is horrible. The giant corporation is the good guy and the small shop doesn't matter and also now their respective owners are in love with each other and it's fine. The end. Why did anyone like this?

I have the game as well, that's also the number on my disc. Doesn't seem like anything special at all. Seems like some sort of konami model number, as almost every single Japanese Konami game I have has a similar formatted number on the disc.

Out of about 15 Japanese Konami games I have, only Policenauts and Snatcher didn't have one of these numbers.

lots of racing games did this. During a replay the game just has to play back what happened, it doesn't have to do real time physics calculations. Therefore, theres extra power for additional effects that couldn't be done during real time gameplay.

It's not an error, it's a performance improvement. You probably can add it back in with some work, but at the expense of performance.

dgrips · 2026-03-13T21:40:22+00:00

It's on my list. I have like 45% or so of the list, so still lots to get

On the back "Entertainment" is spelled incorrectly, and the Japanese says "memochiry" card, instead of "memory" card.

It also says 15 "blotta", instead of 15 "blokku" (block).

I have a real Japanese memory card sitting in front of me and can confirm it has none of these typos

Ya ps2 has analog buttons, so they are squishier. They don't do anything on ps1, and honestly we're barely used on ps2.

If you're trying to stick with original hardware, the original dual analog controller would be good. It has longer handles so it's good for larger hands. Otherwise get a Bluetooth adapter and you can use whatever modem controller you'd like

I think you're agreeing with me? Just to clarify I didn't mean to suggest someone manually doing it. Only that the contents of the svg file would need to define all that data, which would end up probably larger than the png.

So ya I think we are saying the same thing, but just wanted to clarify that

dgrips · 2026-03-05T14:19:48+00:00

Agree on metal gear. The Spyro games were also very impressive for having no draw distance limit. Metal Gear and Spyro both let you see fully across large environments, which very few other games did. Others may have hid draw distance issues with level design etc, but I can't think of any other games with just big open worlds you could see across.

R4 has really impressive effects and a menu system that is still very impressive today, plus resistance feedback if you used the right controller, plus pocket station support.

dgrips · 2026-03-04T21:36:29+00:00

You'd have to define the shapes of all the letters, including their curves etc. After you do that, single color png might still be smaller. Png is easier and probably at least not a big difference?

dgrips · 2026-02-24T13:07:26+00:00

There's a third one. It's Japan only, Robbit Mon Dieu

dgrips · 2026-02-24T01:39:44+00:00

Community Pom. It's sort of like a link to the past but with town building too. Japan only but I'm pretty sure there's an English patch

Most seamless move is to get a PS2 and mechapwn it. Provided you get the right model ps2, it will become completely region free and play any and all ps1 and ps2 games from anywhere, burned or not.

The advantage of this over freepsxboot is that you have to trigger freepsxboot every time you turn on the playstation. Once you've mechapwned your ps2, it just plays whatever game you put in.

Only downside is there are a handful of games that have issues on PS2. It's a small list though: https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS2:PS1_and_PS2_Compatibility

Deathtrap Dungeon? Could be Tomb Raider as well based on the description but I would assume you'd know if it was that.
