This is the only game Falcom released on the former. SSGN Covert Cruise Special Attack Strategy: Fun note, the FM-8 actually predated the FM-7. Between Mahjong, a space shooter, and “erotic puzzler,” the bingo card for small early 80s Japanese video game developers is already nearly full. Private Stripper, an erotic puzzler, also released on the FM-7 and PC-9801. This also released on the Sharp X1.īird Land, Computer the Golf, Horror House, Super Horoscope Kanji Version, Private Stripper, Panorama Island, Horror House Part II: Every one of these released for the PC-88, and like with Galactic Wars, you can find the ROMs, which again, are in Japanese. Sharp X1 emulators exist, however, so if you dig deep enough, you can surely find a nearly 40-year-old Mahjong video game, too.Ĭosmo Fighter II: A first-person space shooter, which does not sound much like the Falcom we know today. Super Mahjong: This game released for the Sharp X1, and even Giant Bomb’s extensive database doesn’t have a filled out entry for it. Consider this something of a road map to Nihon Falcom’s 40 years of history, the point of which is to tell you what’s available and where.

Given how much effort I have put toward getting as many of Falcom’s games as is possible so I could play them, I figured that, to celebrate their 40th, I’d share my notes with y’all. I was a little late to the Falcom game, myself, in large part due to the lack of availability of these games on platforms I had when I was younger, so I’ve spent quite a bit of time in my 30s digging through Ebay, digital storefronts, mini consoles, and the emulation space in order to make up for that - Trails in the Sky was my first Falcom game, and that was enough to sell me on looking for more from them. Sadly, nowhere near the full library of Falcom titles is available on modern platforms, or even in English - huge chunks of Falcom’s history, even the parts that made it from PC to consoles, are either somewhat lost to history or are only available in Japanese, as neither the publishers of Falcom’s games nor fan translators have gotten around to changing that.

Nihon Falcom, one of the most influential and vital developers of Japanese role-playing games, turned 40 years old back in March, and they’ve been celebrating for most of the year by having a whole bunch of their games on sale throughout most of it.
