Svambo | 9 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Indeed very nice. Thanks for sharing, Archon. What are the 'recent events that have occurred over the past few months' they noted on hiddenpalace.org? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,185 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Awesome work as usual Archon. Im not kidding when I say I want to be like you when I grow up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Archon I think I've said something like this before elsewhere, but what you do with this stuff is so the right thing to do for the community at large but also for historical archiving and appreciation of the art that is gaming. A saint within this community which is few and far between. You share, you don't lord it over others so people can enjoy the experience as well. ...now get cracking on finding Dragon Hopper for Virtual Boy, we know it's done, and presumably lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 No problem. And you know I've been thinking about the totally complete lost to time gems of the period and something came to mind as I've been reading up on a few old loves of gaming and it hit me. I got a challenge for you if you're curious. Wing Commander II Revenge of the Kilrathi for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo. The game was entirely completed and ready to go, english no less, submitted to the Japanese company PONY canyon, but for some mystery was scrapped from production and not released. Supposedly the completed copy was it they had their hands on and it's gone up in vapor. I'd love to know the history of that one more than what WCnews (wing commander news (website)) has on it. It would be a truly amazing score because unlike WC1 which was broken into 2 carts with a password, this one was supposedly intact, expansions and all, even speech pack and battery. I'd consider finding this one even more of a long shot than Dragon Hopper on VB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happen across them when looking for other stuff i AM interested in. Edited June 13, 2020 by Archon 1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Ahh ok I didn't know. With what I've seen you've dug up I figured you put some effort into it like some other proto hunters do, though you uniquely seemed far more interest than those types to actually museum level document and share with the world which was a nice touch. Either way I hope some day that game surfaces as it's a shame it was finished, then went into the mists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
