Ranma game for the PC Engine

Postby SpaceKnight of Chaos » Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:42 am

I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what this actually is? I've seen the odd mention of it here and there, mostly on the Ranma 1/2 Wikia, but I was hoping someone might be able to elaborate on the storyline, its name, etc.

I'd also really appreciate it if anyone could tell me the unique martial arts tricks that might have popped up in it - for example, according to the article on him at the Ranma 1/2 Wikia, Shampoo's father is the final boss of the game and apparently wields fireballs and copy-creating techniques, at the very least.
Water, water, everywhere, and all was cursed and black!
Drowned ones cast bad spell and out come pig, girl, duck, panda!
Swirl, swirl, slithery pond, and join with magic spring!
Swirl, swirl, dirty pond, and rid the cursed sting!
Here my prayer, I beg you please!
Now turn these curses BACK!

Which one? There were three. The first was a simple fighter (level/arena-based), the second was a digital comic (Ranma 1/2: Toraware no Hanayome (The Captive Bride)), and the third was another fighter, somewhat like the first. Both fighters mostly just follow the canon storyline. (Edit: Okay, by the mention of Shampoo's father as the end-boss, which I seem to have conveniently ignored the first time around, you're referring to the first game. It's been too long since I've played all three games, so I don't remember the boss fight, exactly. -_- I did get through it, I know.)

The second is, unfortunately, the only one of the three that I picked up, so I don't remember the third's full title offhand... the first is just "Ranma 1/2.")

I don't really recall Ranma using any new/invented techniques in it - but then, it has been some time since I last played it, and my system doesn't want to play CDs anymore. So, if I want to play it, I have to find a PCE-CD emulator for Linux that works. :| (I know of some for Windows that work, but I don't want to have to boot back to Win98 on this system (all of my newer systems are in other rooms than my bedroom :) ) just to use them. :D)

(Weird. GameFAQs doesn't seem to list any of them. :shock: )
Still alive, but failing miserably at dodging Real Life.
