Japanese IF

#1 Post by auraes » Thu Sep 02, 2021 10:53 am

While searching for the game according to an ad found in micomBASIC Magazine, I came across this site which seems to contain text adventure games, some of which do not seem to be in CASA: https://vndbreview.blogspot.com/2017/0 ... -1984.html

It was fun to find a game from an advertisement entirely in Japanese, and without any additional background information. This is the game Southern Cross (サザンクロス, 1984) from Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.

A book that looks great, but I can only enjoy the pictures because it is all in Japanese (a pdf version is available online). The book contains an illustrated walkthrough of the Southern Cross game.

A very good link that contains many Japanese text adventure games solutions, some of which have their commands in English. The Knight of Wonderland solution published by HummingBird Soft:

I have seen japanese versions of colossal cave and dungeon and if you search "アドベンチャー 日本語版" i am sure you will find them. You also need to change your non unicode language to japanese in windows settings but i got it to work.
All the text is in japanese and it takes input in both japanese and english.
