Very Japanese Games Ep. 4: Clock Tower (日本語字幕ある！）

[Lupucillo]

That freakin' window billowing always scared the crap out of me!! :S

[xcornmuffinx]

@Lupucillo I'll admit, I jumped like crazy when that first happened. It doesn't always move so it's a shock.

[MIRUKO321LUPPI]

字幕！！ジョーのチャンネルがグレードアップしていてビックリし­た！！

[xcornmuffinx]

@MIRUKO321LUPPI 字幕付けるのは大変だよ！何回も失敗した（笑）

[MIRUKO321LUPPI]

@xcornmuffinx

[xcornmuffinx]

@MIRUKO321LUPPI 良かった！クロックタワーやる？ＰＳ１で出来るからやって！（笑­）

[FutureDifferenter]

Wow, I've never seen this. nice :D

[xcornmuffinx]

@FutureDifferenter This is one of those games that is super famous among Japanese people but pretty much never got any notice outside of Japan. It's a shame too because it's a lot of fun.

[videogametech1]

i finaliy got my hands on this game a few days ago

[xcornmuffinx]

@videogametech1 Awesome! Have fun with it! There are a ton of scenes that are creepy and disturbing. Also, a lot of the jump scares are randomized so they don't always occur, which makes it lots of fun. Which version did you get? Super Famicom or PS1?

[videogametech1]

@xcornmuffinx the superfamicon 

[burabor0525]

コールドオブデューティーブラックオプスって知ってる？

[xcornmuffinx]

@burabor0525 知っている！でもやった事ない。そのようなシューターはあまり好­きじゃないから買わないな。

[mtvrockhiropy]

my fav game))

[xcornmuffinx]

@mtvrockhiropy It's really a great game isn't it? It's too bad not many people outside of Japan know about it.

[resfinalgamer]

great games

[xcornmuffinx]

@resfinalgamer Yeah, it's too bad this series isn't so popular outside of Japan. I'd love to see another entry.

[78StriderStrikesBack]

awesome video bro

[xcornmuffinx]

@78StriderStrikesBack Thanks man! Hopefully I can start doing these more regularly.

[amurphy245]

Always wanted to play this,i didnt know their was a fan translation.

[xcornmuffinx]

@amurphy245 I can't vouch for the quality of it because I've never actually played the fan translation but just searching for "Clock Tower Fan Translation" will bring up a bunch of sites to download it. Give it a try if you have time and let me know how the translation is.

[amurphy245]

@xcornmuffinx well its better than nothing,im so glad they translated policenauts too as im looking forward to playing that

[xcornmuffinx]

@amurphy245 Which version is it a patch for?

[amurphy245]

@xcornmuffinx Ps1

[PointBlankGamez]

I'm really digging this series! I was not aware of a Clower being on the famicom. I will say that any game that has a psychotic parrot that screams is definitely a Triple A title! Also, the scissor man looks like the lead singer of AC DC with that school boy outfit. lol Looking for to the next one CornMuffin!!

[xcornmuffinx]

@PointBlankGamez Yeah, it's confusing because the first US Clock Tower is the second one in Japan and, because it's not a super popular series, most people don't know about the original. The scissor man totally looks like a member of AC/DC!! Though the clothes make sense in the story, I always thought it was goofy.

[GTAROOMAN100]

really Good review and fuck is Clock Tower hard i never could beat this games

[xcornmuffinx]

@GTAROOMAN100 Yeah, it takes a lot of trial and error to get everything right. It's like a massive victory to beat the game though. One of the endings actually can be done really quickly. It's a bad one but you can go straight to the garage and leave in a car to end the game.

[TheGreenMonkeyKing]

Very cool. I've been importing games from Japan since the mid 90's and I was not aware of this one. Its great to watch JPN games reviewed by someone who can actually read Japanese. In my early days, I played many great JPN-RPG's but my Japanese is no so great, so these days, I try to keep my imports to games that are not heavily reliant on my Japanese skills. Great review!

[xcornmuffinx]

@TheGreenMonkeyKing This one is one that would be difficult in only Japanese I think, if only because you have items to find and use with crack timing. Other than that though, there isn't much text for the story beyond the beginning and ending. This is a classic in Japan which always made me wonder why nobody had heard of it.

[GamezOfWar]

I really liked this episode man.

Good stuff!

[xcornmuffinx]

@GamezOfWar Thanks man! I always have the feeling that these come off as thrown together but I'm glad someone likes them.
