OLD/LOST RPGMAKER GAMES - SEGNIN'S RARE/OBSCURE RM GAMES REQUEST TOPIC

Posts

author=Warry
This is kind of a reverse request, but it's the reason I REGISTERED in the first place. I have a game called Ghosts of Aliens, and I really, really don't want it to die, but every time I've hunted through old forums for requests of it, the links to it are always dead. I'd been searching for YEARS for this until I found it... inexplicably three folders deep into my Linkin Park music collection. I'm slightly ashamed, but if this inexplicable game was going to inexplicably exist in some inexplicable location, that's where it'd inexplicably be.

And the copy of Ghosts of Aliens I have is... broken. It's called, 'Ghosts of Aliens lvfix,' but what it essentially does is completely ruin the scaling of the game. I'm... not entirely sure why. The game is basically a shitpost before the word shitpost was invented, but it's a beautiful shitpost, so I dunno.

Either way, I dunno if anyone might know the authors or anything, but I do have a copy backed up on a USB drive and on cloud storage right now, but I'm wondering if anyone has an unbroken version of Ghost of Aliens that they might be able to share instead.

Had this lying around somewhere, haven't looked at it but it should work. Yeah I always remember it being a pesky game to recover.

Ghosts of Aliens v2
Aha! Thanks much. I appreciate this. I'm gonna compare this with my copy. You are a saint!

So basically I realize a lot of the games on the list barely have any coverage or descriptions. I started a project to address that, the goal is to give every game on the archive list some screenshots, a written impression and a 10-30ish minute youtube video. I've made this a fairly automated process, but I still need to make it a regular habit.

It's all condensed in a wordpress blog mainly, but the main goal is to document as much as I can so that they become more permanent to google and general web crawlers. We'll see how it goes.


This is amazing and deserves more recognition (aka a spotlight on the homepage next month) but this is the kind of nostalgia injection I love. Good luck, as it is a huge undertaking.

Sharing this community, and these old games gives me a lot of joy. Can't really explain it, but I feel some sort of weird kinship with people here just from sharing this RPG Maker culture together.
I know Darken has already mentioned this but, I just want to chime in here - everyone should be checking out RMHistoria.

Like, the problem with the masterlist or when you're looking for old games on webarchive/emulator site in generally is that, they're just a list of old games. When you download them, without any context, they're just good or a bad rpgmaker games.

But these blurbs Darken writes, they're so informative and provide historical context - it's like these rpgmaker games were released just yesterday. Reading these is like reading hardcoregaming101, but for rpgmaker games, they're so good!

But yeah, please keep doing these Darken, I love reading them.
You're really pumping these out. Holy shit.
Thanks people!

One thing that I discovered after The Rose Chronicle write up was that there's actually a 3.3 version somewhere. The 1.1 version on Queen's Court is only an early demo with one chapter.

Ciel might still have it as he's a huge Legacy001 fanboy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgQVemcYWuk This youtube video shows a much newer version (different title screen and text boxes) and linked to a dead rapidshare link labeled 3.2

Azn might have it though his list doesn't mention the version.


Edit: Nvm found it thanks to hedge1. (Latest is just a 3.2, not 3.3.)

The Rose Chronicles v3.2
I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but people here generally are concerned with RM history, so I am hoping maybe someone can help.

Years ago user "RPG" posted a joke thread on the Gaming World forums parodying all of the ridiculous game threads that were going on at the time. Inside were a plethora of low quality images, walls of text outlining the entire plot of the game, and a large list of numbers and stats advertising the game's many pretend features. The game itself never existed, but I decided that it should and set off to make it myself.

Here's the request:
The name of the pretend game was "Crystals: Legend of the Sword." At the time, I only saved a copy of the plot. Everything else from the thread was lost. I would very much love to get a full copy of what used to be there. How many hours did the game advertise? What systems was it purported to have?

I have found evidence of the thread on the Wayback Machine, but sadly the thread itself was not recorded.

As a way of preemptive repayment to any who try to help me in my plight (and as a general thanks to all those who have already worked to preserve RPG Maker history), I wrote a utility to identify RPG Maker games on computers. This utility will search any folder and its sub-folders for the existence of games from RPG Maker 2000 to RPG Maker VX Ace. It will also attempt the find the game's actual title, the application used to make the game, a title image, the number of maps, and some last modified dates to help with identifying the latest version of a particular game.

It also provides some "sharing" options to allow people to post their game lists, if desired.

Again, if anyone can find a copy of the original forum post for Crystals, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!
I spent a large chunk of today, combing through saltw.net's archive thread,
cause I'm also looking for old rpgmaker threads that started on gamingw, such as krin's origin and name73 by cynon:
http://saltworld.net/forums/forum/7-archives-read-only/
(if you remember your old password, from gamingw, you can still login and take a look)


Unfortunately, I double checked and tried to search other game threads on the list from 2006,
stuff like "White Reflections v1.2", "Cyber Factor Demo 1" and "Everlong: Complete Rm2k game, 2112 maps" and I can't find anything yet.
However, I added this to the request list. I'll keep you posted!
Is that "Everlong" you mentioned an early version of this Everlong? If so, the developer is still active here on RMN; you could ask him if he's still in possession of earlier versions.
For the Crystals thing, you could contact RPG himself. Though I doubt he archives his joke topics, you might be able to jog his memory. Here's his contact info.
Salt World argues my user name doesn't exist, but I did email RPG so we'll see if I'm lucky and he has the old information. I doubt it, but it's the best lead I have. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
There's only one old rm2k3 game I've been looking for, I don't know the name of it, but the only thing the game that stood out was one of the party members was a dragon who always used the catchphrase "Cheers!". And I believe RTP Alex was the leader.
Does anybody remember an RPG Maker 2000 horror game called something like 'Dark House'? It was about a bunch of criminals who hideout in a haunted mansion. I think it had a shooting system. It may have been translated to English from German. I can't remember the site I found it on, but it wasn't GW.
Just wanted to mention I already found Tabernacle, so you can cross that request out.

Wondering if anyone has Chain Game 1... or any context about it. I found a GW wiki archive here and maybe some scant forums about it, but just digging for some lore about community games in general. I feel like for the historia it's worth it to grab some background info on it instead of just playing the games as is. Alex games are pretty well documented in this regard.

Yeah, Erave uploaded them awhile back, Stuff has sort of moved around, so I don't know if I wrote everything down somewhere, but I think this was everything Erave posted, in the original mediafire link - but it has all 4 chain games, as well as the original alex games (pre-rpgmaker-steam-version):

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/et7i35enai8od/Gaming_World

big word of word of caution, I'm not as fast as I use to be, when grabbing this stuff, cause of the IRL stuff that's going on right now - so if someone comes in on RMN and uploads a whole bunch of games, please grab them. cause I'm not always going to be there to get them unfortunately - but I'll try to be.

But yeah, I wanna thank you again, for linking me to SilbinaryWolf's upload on itch.io otherwise I never would've caught it.

EDIT: before I forget, I wanted to mention I really loved your write up on Huey the Kid, lol! - like they're all good. But I liked this one in particular because it focused on this one game, among the thousands that were released back in 2003; kind of like that one movie Bruce Willis was in, Mercury Rising, where he has to protect a 9-year old kid who accidentally deciphers a secret code from the NSA. Completely forgettable movie, but that's what it was like back in 1998, and that's why I also liked this article. Cuz it was just the one of those million that came out during that time.

But yeah everyone, please check out RM historia if you haven't already, spread it around if you can, it's spectacular. I don't want to oversell it, but I just really love reading this stuff. XD
Additionally here's a broad request. But can anyone point out which old (pre-RMN) RM games were made by women? The only prominent one I can remember is Wishmoo, and obviously there's a lot of baggage that comes with that. There were definitely a lot of female contributors to the community, and I can probably find a lot of art/in progress games, but I'm blanking on just the games specifically that were released. It's just hard to figure out based on usernames or game titles alone, and I think I need to rely on peoples memories on this. I'm curious to address the aspect of the early internet being a boy's club and wondering if there were any outlier games.

The only leads I have are:

Tabernacle by Wishmoo
RPGoddess and a potentially lost RM95 game
SaGa Wind by trance2
Maia (of Legend of Maia I think?)
Jenna had posted Lands of Lunori, the really cool action rpg, on GamingW I think too, but I'm not clear on the dates.

EDIT:I'll continue to update this post if I remember anymore, but ya double check the dates to be sure.

EDIT2 - stumbled upon Mateui's post: https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/14215/?post=495972#post495972
Females I remember from way back:
- Celera (I don't remember her releasing anything though. I think she was working on a project called Dark Vortex.)
- 4DSheep (I also don't recall any of her projects)
- OwlStorm (Or hers either)
- |3lue
- RPGoddess

If I had to put any money on it I'd say it was by one of the last two on the list. It wasn't something made by BlueRose was it (In the Name of the Rose)? But he's a guy.
I apologize for not touching on this sooner. Normally, I'd only report back once I had something, but the moment I got this news, I had to go deal with something - but I wanted to give an update on hedge1's request:

I went to saltw.net and got in touch with dada. Long story, but the short version of it is, a lot of the post from before 2005, might be lost to the server move that happened in 2007, but he also thinks it's weird how he can't seem find this Crystal: Legends of the Sword thread. Eitherway he's working on it and he's already found two signature images RPG used for Crystal:Legends of the Sword. But yeah, he's working hard on making more of those old archive threads available to us.

You can read more about the specifics here

(hedge1, I also found your old profile on saltw, through the ALEXIS game,
if you're still having trouble logging in, let me know and I'll see if I can ask dada about it)
But yeah, I'll try and post more info on this as it becomes available and I'm incredibly thankful that dada's doing this.

Because hedge1, this program, holy shit, this is amazing dude! Thank You!♥
Two years ago when I recreated this thread - progress has been admittedly slow - but I never would've imagined the progress that we'd all make...I can't quite put it into words but I'm just mesmerized at all the stuff you guys are all doing now in terms of rpgmaker preservation and I just want to really thank all you guys for that - Thank You!♥. Rpgmaker preservation matters, I'm doing all this crazy stuff now, because of old rpgmaker games.

hedge1, like the rest of the request made here, I'm not gonna rest until I find this thread.

...Darken, if you ever make a phoenix wright/rpgmaker archive detective game, let me know, I want in on this - I could be your watson.. or your gumshoe lol.
Yeah hedge1's program is pretty sick actually, forgot to mention that. I think esp just wanting to check the date modified really quickly is really handy.

I'm also starting to wondering if I should just un-RTPfy and zip every download I come across. One question, is there any reason we use RARs? I sent out a rar for my games in sites like itch and gamejolt, but a lot of people get miffed and prefer zips (I think even mac users dont like it either). It just seems to be a hassle and another tiny barrier to just downloading a game for those unfamiliar with RM. Even if it is a hassle for us to organize and re-upload it ourselves. Just wondering if its a task I might as well do.

I'll have to look into this a bit more to remember why - so don't quote me on this. But back when I was uploading the games to the masterlist, I ran into a lot of problems with zip files, where certain games like Vanit's FF7 tech demo would be detected as a virus and would refuse to upload, because it was a zip file that contained a molebox.exe - but if you uploaded it as a .rar, it was okay.

The same thing happened with all the old rpgmaker games we found from the Brazil Magazines like "bob's adventure" etc. These games were originally downloads tied to the Magazine TopsEspecial. So if you uploaded them as their original zip files, they'd immediately be taken down, due to copyright infringement - yes, copyright infringement for a magazine/company that no longer exists, for rpgmaker games they didn't actually make, like Badluck's Tarion Star: Call of the Blade. So the only way I was able to get these games uploaded was to unzip them and upload them as .rars (however, I may be wrong about this)

So yeah, sticking to .rars is mostly just the easiest way to either negate false DMCAs or false virus detections on popular upload sites like mediafire, until we can find proper hosting. So yeah, please don't switch to zips yet! like people will groan and complain about preferred file compression methods. But as a poor guy, who can't afford web hosting and went to a lot of trouble figuring out how to reupload a lot these old games after they were taking down, please stick to using .rars for now, just because it might be safer at this point.

However, I'm open to change. RMArchiv.tk converted a lot of rpgmaker games to zips and Isozone while it was up, swore by 7-zip. If you can find a way where we won't run into these issues in the future, I'm opening to switching to a different file type. But for now .rar was the easiest and safest way I could upload anomalies like, Vanit's FF7 demo as it was originally preserved, as well as a handful of other rpgmaker games onto mediafire, very quickly and without any issues.
