Bit Generations?

[Blue Protoman]

I wanna pirate them, but do I need to know Japanese to play the series?  Or is a lot of it in English?

They're all simple games, so you don't need Japanese language skills to play them.  You might need to refer to a faq in order to figure out how to play, though.

What are they? Any screenshots?

If you're gonna pirate them, why do you ask before and not just try 'em and see for yourself? It's not like it costs money...

...and you're going to pirate them anyway, it's not like it can't be above your standards.

Effort.  If I can't play them, I'm not going to waste the energy getting them.

Anyway, I think I'll download the FAQs onto my GP2X when I get home.  One last thing; are there English translation patches?  I'd check, but I'm at school, so the sites are probably blocked.

[UglyJoe]

Most (all?) of them are already in English.

OK, I'll pirate them when I get home.  I'm locking this thread now.

EDIT: On second thought, I'll leave this thread open as a discussion.

Of all the Bitgeneration games, I only found Orbital to be any fun. And its fun like 80s arcade games - you'll want to play something else after 20 minutes tops.

I liked the juggling mode of Boundish.  It took a little while to get going, but it got really fun once things picked up.

Digidrive is a great puzzle game once you figure out what the hell is going on.

Dotstream is a cool arcade-style racing game with a low-bit graphics paint job.  Very stylized and fun.

Soundvoyager is one of a kind.  Really, there's no game out there like it.  It's entirely based on sound.  You can't really emulate this one, since the sound and timing have to be perfect in order for it to be playable.  You'll also need headphones.

All of the games have amazing soundtracks.  If they released any of these over DSiWare, I'd buy them day one.

I like Dialhex and Coloris.  Digidrive runs choppy in my emulator.

Dotstream is like an F1 GP on an atari   absolutely riveting stuff!

[Blue Protoman]

True dat.

Bahaha. These look really cool.
