#RPG UN-OFFICIAL HOMEPAGE

News

These are the June Update news:

Changes: I've made some minor changes in the page... The "Manuals" section is now a sub-section of "Download". Our Message Board now has its own section, called "Forum". Use it to get help on a game, comment something you've heard/read, post some news, suggest any improvements for this page... any RPG related subject you want! Start posting, RPG fans! :)

Chrono Trigger 64: the best RPG ever made will have a N64 version! However, neither Squaresoft nor Nintendo are behind it... Ressurrection Games is programming this game that will be available for download through the Internet. This means that only people with a back-up cartridge or Nintendo 64 emulator will be able to play it. This title will have two game modes... one that is just like the original game but with improved graphics and another that features a full 3D world. The game will run in 320*240 and 640*480 (for Expansion Pack users). Ressurrection Games still hasn't informed Squaresoft of its production, though... They plan to place a legal disclaimer on the initial screen... but this thing has "Squaresoft takes legal action against Ressurrection" written all over it :).
Coding Dreams: this portuguese software-house, currently producing a RPG called Battle Force, now has a presence on the Web. Check out www.codingdreams.com for more details on this project.

Server: I'm facing some problems with RPG Channel's mirror stored at Emualliance. I keep getting errors upon connecting to their FTP which are preventing me from updating the files stored there. I've been trying to contact their administrators but they still haven't replied. However, our main server (stored at Emulation Zone) and our Xoom mirror are still fully operational. Please use only these until further notice, ok?
N64: Aaaaaaaaaaah! OH NO! This can't be true! Nintendo has "Pokemonized" (tm) :) Nintendo 64. Apparently, their engineers had some free time and created two prototypes of this... thing... we can see in the picture below... Ack... Like if it wasn't enough having six pratically equal Gameboy versions of Pokemon and two Nintendo 64 games based on this anime-wannabe... :)
Forum: eeeeh... guys... I don't know if you have noticed it, but we have a Message Board up and running... give it some use! :)
Squaresoft: Nintendo has gathered a group of former Square employees to produce RPGs for Gameboy Advance. This new software house, which has people that worked in Secret of Mana, will be called Browny Brown (all the good names were taken, I suppose...). Their first game will be out in the second quarter of 2001.

Forum: I've decided to replace the Forum (Message Board) I had on my page by a new one. A visitor of this page told me that it was confusing and not very easy to use. Well, check out the new Message Board and tell me what you think. If you prefer, you can access it from the Help section.

PS One: Sony has released a new version of its 32 bits system. This new portable PlayStation costs around 140 USD. American users will be able to buy it in September of this year. The PS One has about 1/3 of the size of the original PlayStation and it weights around 0,5 Kg. Later this year, a special 4 inches monitor will also be released, making this a real portable system. Around December Sony will also release a special adaptor that will enable all their consoles to be connected to cell phones. Their plans for a PlayStation network are starting to be a reality...

Forum: I have been planning to add this (also known as a Message Board) for a long time, but never did quite found one that looked cool. Anyway, I've seen Delphi's Forums recommended on a page, so I decided to use them. The link to go there will be available at the help section, but you can click here to go there now (the Forum will open in a pop-up window). Try it out and e-mail me with your oppinion.
Adventurers: I finally found a great RPG related comic! The Adventurers deals with all the (strange) details that can be found in a RPG. The art isn't perfect, but the strips are hilarious :). You can find'em at www.adventurerscomic.com. Meanwhile, here a a couple of strips for you to know what can be expected :).

Legend of Mana: american RPG fans are just one week away from the release date of Square's new PlayStation title. The fourth Seiken Densetsu should be out for sale on the 6th of June, costing 39.99 USD.
