I finished Triangle Strategy. Took me about 23 hours. I liked the different paths you can take in the story. It's a pretty good SRPG overall, but not among the greats.

I got my copy of Emio: The Smiling Man in the mail today, so I'll start on that tonight! I'll play this one in Japanese, since I played the first two games that way.

Okay, I finished Chained Echoes and it took me 25 hours. Really enjoyed this one. Felt like an epic SNES/Sega CD JRPG!

Continuing on through my backlog, I'll probably pick up Triangle Strategy (Switch) again and try and complete it. I played about 7 hours of it and dropped about a year ago.

After that, Emio: The Smiling Man (Famicom Detective Club) (Switch) is released next week. I loved the first two games and I played a bit of the demo and it's awesome. Really looking forward to it.

I played through Cosmic Star Heroine (Switch) last week. Took me about 7 hours. Nice, fun, short RPG. I bought this like 5 years ago but for some reason never played it until now.

In the mood for more of the same and wanting to keep clearing out my backlog, I started Chained Echoes (Switch). About 5 hours in and I'm really enjoying it. It's pretty impressive the game was made by one person!

I finished up Star Ocean Second Story R (PS5). Pretty fun game, took me about 25 hours. I played the Rena route. I think the systems are too complex for their own good (so many things to "level up" and customize), but it's cool that you can play through it multiple times and recruit different party members each time. I don't think I'm going to play it again though.  :laugh:

I was hyped about the upcoming Visions of Mana but then I played the PS5 demo the other day and now I'm not very hyped anymore. Not a fan of the battle system, characters, voice acting, and other aspects. Bummer.

Doesn't look like there's a way to reset all member passwords in SMF, so I will just have to play Whac-A-Mole with hacked/spammer accounts as they pop up. Hopefully it won't be a big problem. Only one so far. So far no scams here, just porn spam, so probably unrelated to the arcade gaming forum hacks.

There may be more. There's been a user data leak somewhere and idle accounts on a couple of (arcade) gaming forums were hijacked. Scams were attempted on Arcade Projects. Cools did a forced reset of all passwords on AO. Might want to consider that.

Watch out for spambots taking over old/inactive accounts, and change your passwords. Just had to ban MarkMSX's account because some spambot was using it to post porn links here.

Thanks. I think I've seen that (and even owned!) that one before. I'll add it to the list.

Hey I just got a Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 PCB and it is like this:

2006/12/8 MASTER VER 1.54

No period at the end, like your example:

2006/12/8 MASTER VER 1.54.
