I didn't seriously wanted to e-mail to 40+ characters long address. I asked
because I wanted to know MSX Data base. What is that ? > JAM
Rona seems to run on MSX2. I used to believe Rona was a turboR-only game
but, even MSX-FAN 1994 April issue didn't state so. Human memory is a
fragile thing. ^^;
I also searched for 2-byte kanji codes or raw graphics among the sectors,
but kanjis were not directly inputted in the sectors (in that case - like,
Illusion City disks which contain messages in form of pure S-JIS codes - you
can directly change them using hex editor), and only raw graphics in the
Rona disk A was the title. Therefore quick translation is not possible. But
I'm sure not many wants Rona to be translated since Rona is playable without
being translated.
Rona disk A also contained curious messages among the sectors, obviously
written by the developing crews. Judging from dates notified among such
in-sector articles, Rona really was released in early 1994.
DIXIE, the distributor/developer of RONA seems to have been lost, but its
parent company May-be Soft still exists as brand name, and owns own website
in http://www.teck.co.jp/maybe/ . Management authority moved to another
company Tech Arts, however.
