[A Black Falcon]

You just got me to check out RHDN again, here's a few recent ones I find interesting...

The Black Onyx (Sega SG-1000 version)

The original PC-8801 version was probably the first "JRPG" ever. I put JRPG in quotes because the person who made it was actually an American living in Japan (Henk Rogers, of later Nintendo Soviet skulduggery/The Tetris Company Tetris fame), but it's one of or maybe even the first one... and it's finally in English for something. (Why this version and not the Famicom one, though?)

Slayers (SNES)

Yes, a Slayers game is finally available in English! That's great news, Slayers is one of my favorite anime franchises really and I've wanted to try the games...
