Hi all,

 

Damn, my last visit sure was a long time ago! I'm glad to be back and i'm trying to be more active also, hehe :P

Look what I found here: https://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f29586830

It's the JAP version of X-COM: Enemy Unknown, and I was wondering if it would be worth the buy. I think all that's different is the language, but I noticed a different ufopaedia when looking at the pics...

I've never played the PSX version of X-COM before, so you guys have to help me out wether it's different or not.

D'ya remember that final fantasy film where the good gyus go roaming about and they have cool aircraft and stuff? Take a look at the above picture. X-COM inspired or what :P

 

Back on topic, how much is it going for?

760 Yen, which is about $8.00, but there are still 2~3 days remaining so it could always rise.

 

Overall the product seems to be in excellent shape.

I'm thinking of buying it, just to have it in my collection. It's the only PSX game of the series ever released in Japan. TFTD PSX only got a European release.

If it's exactly the same game only in a different language, then it may not be worth the buy. But then again, it's X-COM and the art is different too, hehe :P

I am curious if the different graphics on the cover would apply also to tactical or only to the UFOPedia. Or it could also be the case that they are only used in the cover and the game is exactly the same. Good luck and let us know if you get it.

There's an inventory screen image on the back of that case. I rotated the image and enlarged it, and the helmet is the same as our power suits; the rest of the armour looks a bit slimmer. But then again, the image quality is so low (for that iny segemnt, any way) that I couldn't really say it's different.

I play both versions of the game (PSX and PC) often, so I might be able to help a bit. If you are unfamiliar with the PSX version, it has a completely different UFOPaedia than the PC version. That's normal. The graphics are different, as well as some of the language. Other than the UFOPaedia, the game looks and plays exactly the same as the PC version. :P

Well, just the graphics (pictures) for the UFOPaedia are different. The rest of the game plays remarkably similar to the PC version. For example, the aliens, soldiers and civilians are drawn exactly the same in the tactical portion of the game.

 

And, you're right about me not having the right equipment. I suspect I would need some video capturing hardware/software on my computer to get those "screenshots" from the PSX. Hmmm. I'll have to look research this further. Maybe I can pick something up cheap which will do the job. :P
