Dragon Half (ドラゴンハーフ, Doragon Hāfu?) is a manga created by Ryūsuke Mita and serialized in Gekkan Dragon Magazine from 1988 to 1994. It was adapted into a two episode anime OVA series in 1993.[1] ADV Films licensed the anime series in North America.

The story follows Mink, a half human/half dragon teenage girl on a quest for a potion which will turn her into a full human so that she can win the love of the legendary dragon slayer Dick Saucer. In the manga, in order to get the potion, she must slay Azetodeth, the greatest demon in the land.

The story (which is a parody of the Dungeons and Dragons genre) is very tongue-in-cheek, and pokes fun at a number of anime clichés,[3] most notably its overuse of chibis and its wide range of genres in a similar way to anime such as Excel Saga. Much of the manga contains references to RPG games and occasionally either other manga or anything that begins with the word 'dragon'.

Ryūsuke Mita's favorite animal is the dragon. So several dragons play an important role in the manga, most notably Mana and her father, Titan.

Anyways, it seems this is a remake of the PC-98 game which I hated so much. However, the music is a hell of a lot better in this one and I recently replayed the PC-98 game, figured out the card attack system, and realized it wasn't that bad. This FM-TOWNS game might actually be better than the PCE-CD board game RPG.

Special thanks to Mil for the mu link for this game, benfmv who own tokugawa corporate and all tokugawa staffs and members.

Code:

once you have download this game, you need the emulator called unz,
so download it from the link below;

http://www.zshare.net/download/5997006a96f810/
password: monkey80

please read the document at http://www.jcec.co.uk/UNZ HOWTO.doc

the rest is up to you to experiment and now get the emulator which I have configured which include the bios that are need to load unz.

insert the dhalf.bin that is 1mb into the drive0 slot for unz, mount the dragon half.cue. make sure unz have been configure to access the virtual drive that have dragon half mounted, give it a reset (not close it but go to the file menu and click on reset), you will have to give it a few second to start the game.

the first line in the game menu is load game, then below it is new game, sound test and finally create a save disk in the last option but since dhalf.bin is the created save disk.

start a new game and you will have to wait for the introduction of dragon half game, well I will try to find the pc version and the pc98 version.

Do not ask me if it will have any english games since most of the games are ported from english and into japanese like ultima 4 in japanese. :petrfied:

if you want more games and got the time then you will have to look around for more games. since I only got a few fm towns games.

if you want to learn how to use other japanese retro games emulator go to tokugawa corp since most fans of retro gaming will be there but not for those who hate japanese games.

hey I do not mind if it is japanese but sure wish there is more translation team for japanese retro games.
