Roguelike Radio

This week's episode of Roguelike Radio covers a classic commercial game relatively unknown in the U.S., Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Furaai no Shiren, a.k.a. Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer.  Although part of a long-running Japanese series that's still fairly obscure (in its non-Pokemon forms) in the West, this did receive a recent U.S. release as Mystery Dungeon.  The participants this time are John Harris and Keith Burgun.  They had a blast covering this one -- although it's just two people this time they talked for an hour and a half, and could easily have gone on another hour.  The two of panelists are devoted Shiren fanatics, and John argues particularly think it's one of the best games of the 16-bit era.  Note -- this is not the recent Wii release, which is an inferior game in our opinion.Read more »
