Title: ***Done***Looking for Sega Ages artwork
Post by: djshok on October 03, 2012, 03:47:07 PM

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some artwork from the PS2 Sega Ages they released in Japan.  Specifically I'm looking for this image.

(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/4647/839446-916725_23962_front.jpg)

Either a decent hires scan of it, or one without the text if such exists.  Any help is appreciated.

try looking up the Japanese title, copying and pasting that into google images.  i've had good luck with that when looking for hi-res art.

I actually tried doing that when I saw this request. I found a decent shot of generation 1 but no luck for 2.

Thanks for the effort guys.  I actually lucked out and someone on another forum had a nice scan.  We can lock this up noq.  8)

SO JEALOUS!!

I wish there were a fan translation of that re-release.  I've gushed about it in other posts, but Phantasy Star II is, without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite games.  I'd love to play through the PS2 facelift, but my knowledge of Japanese is, erm, limited.

Still, it's rad you managed to pick that up.  Congrats, and I hope you enjoy it!

There is a fan translation of the first one and the second is in the works: http://www.pscave.com/psg1/download/

That's excellent news!  I'll be keeping my eye on that one, for sure.

It's funny - I've actually been to that site before, looking for other PS games.  They have fan translations of the PS II Text Adventures that were only available in Japan, as well as translations of the Game Gear games.  I've only played through a few of the text adventures, but I had a blast with them, and will definitely finish the rest at some point, too.  I just wish there were a way to play them on a physical Genesis system without having to go the repro route.  Oh, well :-\

There's always the flashcart route.
