I have this game on my MSX (no emulator crap, but the real thing), and I first played it about 3 days ago. And I really didn't understand the flags and country names, but it didn't bother me or anything. I don't have the manual to the game, so I just figured there's probably an explanation in the manual. Maybe they just wanted to teach children what different flags look like. But why the first 2 levels are both, Australia, I don't know. But who cares. The game is great.

@SuperSmilingSmiley Cool. Have you played the game's sequel, Penguin Adventure? It's pretty awesome.

[SuperSmilingSmiley]

@WeirdVideoGames Yea I ordered a cartridge with that game, I'll have it within a few days. There are many of these penguin games for the MSX. There's also a ping pong game with the same penguin, and some ball-throwing game (I don't remember the name, but I do have it on a floppy somewhere, should check it out). The penguin is to the MSX what mario is to Nintendo. Sometimes he's Pentarou, and sometimes he's Penta. There's a whole story behind it.

@SuperSmilingSmiley Pentarou is Penta's son.

[nickantibarney]

what music was he talking about? if it was the ingame music, it was the skator's walts. if it was the level complete music, it was created especially for this game.

I think Drakengard is more weird than that, cuz if you see the final chapter 12 verse 5..... babies are bad.
