Original Air Date: May 23rd 2009 Faerie Dust Story: MnE (or Faerie Dust Story: 迷宮のエルフィーネ) is actually one of the rarer games for the system though it’s not valuable. It’s also one of the few Japanese games in the CD-Rom2 format and not the Super CD-Rom2 format. What this means is that you can play this game on a stock TurboGrafx-CD system and play it without any modifications to your system so long as it can play CDs and has a system card 2.0. This is the introduction to Faerie Dust Story: Meikyuu no Elfeene (Elfeane according to the game’s visual debugger) which consist of the intro and a song as well as the real life person who is portrayed in anime style going on a magical adventure in this game. The real-life person in question is Tomomi Nishimura (西村知美 Nishimura Tomomi) who was a rising star at the time and had a game made after her where she is put in a fantasy world trying to solve the denizen’s problems with intelligence and kindness. She is particularly famous for her singing voice roles in anime and Karakuri TV (hence the combination here and introductory song that is only played the very first time unless you erase your system data). She also has ties with Toshiba-EMI whom she works for from time to time. We’ll say more in gameplay. The song btw kicks ass. They could have just had words on a screen and took the lazy way out but I admire how they tried to make her dance and do choreography. The beat and sound of her voice during the b.../b

Original Air Date: May 23rd 2009 OK so we’re back with part two of Faerie Dust Story. What’s it about? Well we kinda discussed that in the introduction. What kind of game is this? Well the case says it’s an RPG as well as many different websites but I can tell you that it’s an RPG in one the most loose or literal senses A roleplaying game where you take the role of a female. Otherwise this game is much more of an adventure game with mini-games inbetween. The main thing you’ll be doing in the game is going around solving people’s problems and finding clues on how to return to your world. In the beginning you’re sorting through Antonio and Lue’s love ordeal (The ant and fairy) and trying to stop the goblins from attacking the villagers and spreading mischief across Faerie Land. You’ll basically be going back and forth to gather items from people to progress further and you’ll get a good deal of cutscenes too. Needless to say this game is about building an attachment to the characters and the plot as well as indulge fans of Tomomi Nishimura since they get to see her in an alternate reality. The mini-games are also kinda fun. There are four of them. The first is Driving which reminds me of both Namco’s Pac-Man and Rally-X. The second is Block which is basically your standard Breakout or Arkanoid clone. Next you have Quiz which has you answering questions with a twist. You’ll answer a smart aleck robot’s questions by first analyzing your options and then playing b.../b
