KyoriAsh 1 Posted September 1, 2020 Quote What other games had PC ports that were left behind in Asia Seems nobody paid attention to P.T.O. (Pacific Theater of Operation), otherwise knows as Teitoku no Ketsudan Series https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=%E6%8F%90%E7%9D%A3%E3%81%AE%E6%B1%BA%E6%96%AD&i=software&__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&ref=nb_sb_noss Amazon store of this series Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theclaw135 1 Posted September 1, 2020 Similarly, there's the Naval Ops series. https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=鋼鉄の咆哮&i=software&__mk_ja_JP=カタカナ&ref=nb_sb_noss Gee this stuff was huge in Japan. I shudder at the proverbial flood of Daisenryaku. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icup321 3 Posted September 10, 2020 There is apparently a PC port of Pac-Man World 1 that was released exclusively in South Korea in 2001 according to the Pac-Man Wiki, there's barely any info on it and there's a very high chance it hasn't been dumped/preserved yet. If this does in fact exist, then that means the PC version is currently lost media, there's also this box art that was uploaded on there: EDIT: It turns out this PC version might actually just be a pre-packaged PS1 emulator that comes with the game based on what I've been told by someone just recently, and not actually a native PC port.

Luigi master89 11 Posted September 10, 2020 Even so, 2001 wouldn't have very powerful PCs to handle a PS1 emulator reliably, unless it's a customized version of Bleem. I'll ask two Korean friends of mine if they have any info; since the game was released physically, it has a non-zero chance of being found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theclaw135 1 Posted October 1, 2020 Another one I wouldn't have guessed. A Korean release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. https://oldpcgames.tistory.com/1618 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimi19 0 Posted October 19, 2020 The promo version of Incoming! An early build of the game was bundled with several graphics cards (think it was some 3dfx ones, no idea where my dad got our copy from) and you where supposed to mail it in a receive a free copy of the retail version once it launched. It lacked most of the game modes besides the campaign and used some different art assets and vehicles, Just compare the tank from level 1 stage 3 from the promo (top) and retail (bottom) version. Hell, my copy is probably even rarer since it has been completely translated into Swedish. No idea if they bothered to do that for the retail version too. (only have it from GOG) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luigi master89 11 Posted February 22 (edited) Sorry for the bump but here is another interesting case; a PC port of Mission: Impossible (seemingly the N64 version) handled by Indian developer Dhruva Interactive. This YouTube video is the only purported proof of the game receiving a PC version, but searching for it online only yields results for the N64 and PS1 versions. I wonder if it existed at all.
