ApOcaLyPSe_1985 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 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 Look what I found here: https://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f29586830 https://img47.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/2/9/7/7/shadow7882000-img600x450-1104481921153.jpghttps://img47.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/2/9/7/7/shadow7882000-img600x450-110448193254.jpghttps://img47.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/2/9/7/7/shadow7882000-img600x450-1104481942155.jpg 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.

Pete Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 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 Back on topic, how much is it going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApOcaLyPSe_1985 Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well... whoever gets it, can they do a scan of the new artwork for me to put on the site please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApOcaLyPSe_1985 Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I made up my mind, i'm getting it. Thing is, i'm not the only bidder Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 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.

ApOcaLyPSe_1985 Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hey Stun, It's NTSC. I can help myself pretty much with a online translator so far, but i'll give you a call when I'm in need of your assistance Btw, i'm located in Holland and not in the US.

Bomb Bloke Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I reckon I could play the game without reading text by now... Well, so long as they don't go moving the buttons around on me. Ooh, I'd really like a copy of that... *drools* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Grenade Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 yeh its a nice item alright... it might have godzilla in it, who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApOcaLyPSe_1985 Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 well if he meant the game with translations then i can beat the game without reading anything also, unless the changed alot of the gfx ofcourse but i think stun meant the whole yahoo auction thing.

Stun Grenade Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 nah its a unique item, how many ppl have a japanese ufo?? yeh exactly.. none of ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombie Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 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.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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 What? Different graphics? You might like to consider capturing some images for the site, Zombie... I don't know if you have the equipment, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Either a video capture card or if you have a digicam you "could" get semi decent images from the tv screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Grenade Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 u would need a Video Card with TV port in your PC i think and a special card that goes in the serial port in the PS1. Or you could just do a digital camera dump like JMan said.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stun Grenade Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 very organised indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApOcaLyPSe_1985 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 You know, if the PSX versions of x-com do have different ufopedia graphics indeed then I guess this game will turn out to be the same, but just in Japanese Ah well, still worth much for a collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
