I've always wanted to see a translation of Illusion City for Sega CD. I saw screenshots of it in GameFan and thought it looked really cool. Who knows, maybe the game sucks, but I'd sure like to see for myself!

Sarge I'm with you on this one, game looks great. An old-school noir RPG with a cyberpunk setting. A lot of those RPGs that originated on the MSX and other Japanese computers were more forward-thinking with their structures than console RPGs, too - some of them had visible enemies rather than random encounters early on, didn't stick to the town-dungeon-town-dungeon formula, had varied settings and storylines, etc. Looking at videos of it, it doesn't seem heavy on battles either. And Micro Cabin was a solid developer.

Did... did I summon this one into existence? It ain't the Sega CD version, but it is the MSX game!

Oh wow. I remember for years, maybe 10 years ago, the fan translation scene was almost dead. This year's been crazy though. The Sega CD version doesn't seem that technically improved at first glance, it still has the choppy scrolling so the MSX2 version is probably just as good.
This and Growlanser are the two projects I'm looking forward to the most now.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking - Sega CD version looks like it doesn't really improve a lot, so this is more than acceptable! And yep, definitely want some Growlanser. Ex: Sure does seem like we're having an effect on the space-time continuum!
