A 16/32-bit Japanese personal computer system launched by NEC in 1982. It was the most successful computer platform in Japan and one of the best-selling computer systems of the 20th century. It has a very large video game library with thousands of titles, the majority of which were never released outside Japan.

Posts: 701 | Hi, I'm new here.
I saw this mentioned in the requests thread, so I thought I'd start a new thread and provide some more information on something that is sure to be of interest to every PC98 enthusiast.
There is a very large (~12GB compressed) collection of PC98 games now available, called the PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ (PC98 Meekaa-betsu Tsumeawase: PC98 Collection Sorted by Company).
This set is the most comprehensive collection of PC98 games to date. It's heavily seeded, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get on Japanese p2p networks.
Drawback: it does not include CD-ROM based games.
There are 21 files in the set:
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ 補完 20090605.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「あ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「いうえお」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「か」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「きくけ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「こ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「さ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「し」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「す」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「せそ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「たちつ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「て」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「と」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「なにね」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「は」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「ひ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「ふ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「へほ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「まみ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「むめ」.rar
[PC98]PC98メーカー別詰め合わせ「ゆ」「らりるれろ」「わ」.rar
The latest 補完 (hokan: supplement) is dated 05 June 2009, so be sure to get the file that has 20090605 at the end.
All games are named consistently in the following format:
[PC98][x][Company]Game_Title[format].zzz
where [x] is the Japanese character for the first letter in the company name, [format] is the disk image type (D88, HDI, FDI, etc.) and zzz is the compression format (.zip, .rar., .lzh, etc.). Some games have multiple disk image types included.
Here's the full list of games included in the set:

Here's the list of known games that are NOT included in the set:

Posts: 701 | I think most titles on the not-included list have never been dumped. However, CD-ROM games that have been dumped (such as Policenauts) are on the list, since CD-ROM games are excluded from the set as a rule.
Obviously, if anyone reading this has a game on the not-included list, please share!

Could you (or someone else) make a torrent for this collection and post it on Underground Gamer (UG) or some other tracker? I can provide invites to UG if they are needed.

I've just about given up on getting share to work. I've opened up the port on my firewall and router and allowed share through but still nothing. Perfect Dark doesn't work either

Location: Paris, France | I got this one from share :
[エミュカタログ][PC98]PC98ゲームカタログ Ver.20090618.rar
It's a very well done html screenshot database (a little less than 500 Mb), I started checking it and haven't seen anything unknown yet.
You can sort by name, company, genre and there are additional infos, links, etc.
2 previous versions are available on share so make sure you have the latest one.

Posts: 70 | Doesn't help one bit. The names of the games in the package according to that game list are ALL in their Japanese names. NOT ONE contains its English name in its title. So HOW will I know what games I'm getting? I won't. So I can't tell if I'm getting a game I ALREADY have downloaded before from other sites, or if I'm getting a NEW game.
Just for reference here are some translated copies of the list (not sure of accuracy + most BUT NOT ALL Japanese kanji symbols could be translated). Entries are alphabetical by website name.
Anime Lab:
(not able to handle such a large ammount of text in output of text translator, and also their web-page translator didn't work, possibly from overload)
Google Translate:

Tranexp.com:

Yahoo Babel Fish:

Posts: 701 | What were you expecting? It's a giant pack of Japanese games, compiled by the Japanese p2p scene. It's also one big set, so you're certainly going to be downloading a lot of repeats.
If you need help checking the Japanese titles against romaji transliterations, I recommend getting the PC98 Game Catalog that Ben mentioned (the file name is [エミュカタログ][PC98]PC98ゲームカタログ Ver.20090618.rar). If you open up the catalog and click on a Japanese title, another page will appear with the Japanese title, the transliterated title, screenshots, and other information.

Most of my PC98 games are FULL ENGLISH (not romaji) For example: Sucharaka Junior High School (junior high school are English words, NOT Romanized Japanese). I'm not interested in Ben's romaji list. I'm interested in a FULL ENGLISH list of PC-98 game titles. So I made some with online translators. Here they are, just in case others are interested in them as well.

But I keep my collection in straight romaji to avoid duplicate files. Quite frankly though, even that is hard because of the different romanizations

Posts: 89 | I just saw this set pop up on Perfect Dark a couple of days ago. I think one of them has finished so far, but I haven't bothered to check it out yet.

Location: Paris, France | @Videogamer : using a translator to come up with romanized names is, I think, a mistake. Here's why :
- many files have typos (in japanese) so the same game might be duplicated with 2 translations,
- translation often, if not always doesn't make sense : '[Inter Heart] Sensation also caricatures [DCP]. Zip'.
You could start with TOSEC as a base and then build up on it that's what I did at the beginning. Good luck in any case

Policenauts Psx
| Policenauts |
|---|
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Platform: PC-98
Released in JP: July 29, 1994
This game has unused music.
|
Hideo Kojima's second adventure game following Snatcher, Policenauts is essentially the adventures of anime Murtaugh and Riggs in space.
The graphics in the original PC-9801 version were made with conventional pixel art instead of the scanned animation cels used in the later console version, resulting in a style that more closely resembles the 16-bit console versions of Snatcher released around the same time.
Unused Music
The PC-9821 release of Policenauts contains an unused full-length version of the opening title track 'Old L.A. 2040'. In the actual game, 'Old L.A. 2040' is shortened and split into CDDA tracks 3 and 4 which are used for the opening cutscene instead.
To do:
Address the dialogue changes. Quite a bit of dialogue was reworked in the home console versions. |
