Chinese or Japanese Princess Maker 2?

#1 Post by PixelWrangler » Mon Apr 04, 2005 7:39 pm

I saw this item on EBay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 8181478455

And I was wondering if anyone knows/can tell from the packaging if this is the Japanese or Chinese version of Princess Maker 2.

It looked like Chinese to me (the title started with the characters for "bishoujo", not the katakana for "Princess Maker"), so I passed on the item, but let me know if I was wrong.

Thanks for the advice.

P.W.

It looks Chinese to me, with the lack of any hiragana particles or anything. I tried to look at the rest of the text, but the pictures are so small. =/

I know... I couldn't even make out the rest of the characters in the title to do a proper Google search. :)

Wow, shipping on 5 1/4" disks as well... that's enough of a nostalgia factor in its own right :)

I just got independent confirmation that the version of Princess Maker 2 in the EBay listing is, in fact, Chinese.

I believe there was a Chinese release of the game, so it is most likely a valid copy. However, it's not the version I was looking for.

Glad I was right. :)
