Why not. Can it be provided as patch or as separate game archives for each language?

edit: I mean, we tend to provide the games as they were when they were published. So, if patch is possible, than patch will be placed as extra. In separate archives case, we will provide original Korean version as extra. It is more important to make it possible for people to play, but we want to keep games as they were for historical value.

I've uploaded both the original Korean install package and the pre-patched English translated version.

The official English title was "The Romance of Forgotten Kingdom", but for the translation I've changed it to "Romance of the Forgotten Kingdom".

Genre: Role-playing
Year: 1995
Developer: Mirinae Software
Publisher: Pantech
Keywords: Fantasy, Medieval
Similar Games: Not sure, are there any that are closer to console style RPGs?
My Rating: 4

This has some more translated screenshots and also a translation of the original manual:

This time I've uploaded it complete with screenshots, a box scan and a short review. There's one possible issue, though: I had to compress the game with 7z, because ordinary zip resulted in a file with several hundred MB, too big for Abandonias file size limit (7z is 22MB).

When this file is posted, Abandonia might be the first website world-wide to host it; at least I've never seen it on Korean abandonware sites. I've once shared a rapidshare link in a forum, but I don't think anyone downloaded it then.

Very interesting. Rare games are always more interesting

7zip is OK, we actually changed some of out bigger archives from .zip to .7z in the last year or two.

Is it on CD? Can it be also added to Cellar?

So should I use 7z every time I have a large difference, say 160MB vs 225MB?

Yes, it's an ISO image, even though it seems that most of the data on there is just filler, considering how massive the compression rate is (from 445MB for the uncompressed iso to 22MB)

Definitely, even if difference is like 20MBs.

Then you can upload it to 3rd party site (like you did for Eojjeonji Joheun Il-i Saenggil Geot Gateun Jeonyeok) and post links in Requests topic in Cellar.

I'm still looking around for some korean games...
especially the pc version of Battle B-daman (구슬대전 배틀 비드맨), any luck with this?


Pc cover

The game page from Play-Asia:
http://www.play-asia.com/battle-bead...en-70-ogp.html

I'm specialized for the research of obscure and rare titles
but the really difficult task is to find korean pc versions of Sengoku Ace and Sengoku Blade/Tengai!

I wondered if those might be interesting for Abandonia to host. I understand the site won't have any of the RPGs, but there's a ton of other games that are playable without any language knowledge, and most of these games have been virtually unavailable to western gamers so far.

I figure most of the companies that made them are out of business by now, but I'd offer to check that on a case-by-case basis. I could also provide the necessary informations for the database, and maybe even write some reviews.

How about it?

Hi Arringtastic, and welcome to the site

We so not have game or gameplay video of Gakgae Gyeokpa.
If by some chance you can provide game or video, that would be great
