I've been told the uploading process has been streamlined so a full review isn't required anymore, so I'm starting to upload Stuff with basic information:

I've just uploaded Twins, in folder /derboo. It's an adventure/action hybrid and has some intro text, but the game itself is mostly without words, kinda like the Gobliiins series, so there isn't much of a language barrier.

Info:
Released: 1995
Developer: Deca Team / Neo Art
Publisher: Samsung
Keywords: Crime, Adventure, Comedy, Fighting
Similar Games: The Clue!, Gobliiins series


Screenshots (and the text, if you put a link) can be taken from here:
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/kor...her2.htm#twins
I give it 4 stars, if you want to take this as a review.

EMS has to be switched off in DOSBox.

Adventure mode Controls:

Ctrl: Action
Alt: Switch characters
Space: Jump (only the thin guy)
Enter: Inventory

Don't remember the exact controls for the other modes, though.

By the way, how is the policy for fan-translated games? I could upload my English translated version of Romance of the Forgotten Kingdom (http://translation.derboo.de/romance.html) alongside the original Korean install files.

Why not. Can it be provided as patch or as separate game archives for each language?

edit: I mean, we tend to provide the games as they were when they were published. So, if patch is possible, than patch will be placed as extra. In separate archives case, we will provide original Korean version as extra. It is more important to make it possible for people to play, but we want to keep games as they were for historical value.

I've uploaded both the original Korean install package and the pre-patched English translated version.

The official English title was "The Romance of Forgotten Kingdom", but for the translation I've changed it to "Romance of the Forgotten Kingdom".

Genre: Role-playing
Year: 1995
Developer: Mirinae Software
Publisher: Pantech
Keywords: Fantasy, Medieval
Similar Games: Not sure, are there any that are closer to console style RPGs?
My Rating: 4

This has some more translated screenshots and also a translation of the original manual:

New contribution:

This time I've uploaded it complete with screenshots, a box scan and a short review. There's one possible issue, though: I had to compress the game with 7z, because ordinary zip resulted in a file with several hundred MB, too big for Abandonias file size limit (7z is 22MB).

When this file is posted, Abandonia might be the first website world-wide to host it; at least I've never seen it on Korean abandonware sites. I've once shared a rapidshare link in a forum, but I don't think anyone downloaded it then.

Very interesting. Rare games are always more interesting

7zip is OK, we actually changed some of out bigger archives from .zip to .7z in the last year or two.

Is it on CD? Can it be also added to Cellar?

I'm still looking around for some korean games...
especially the pc version of Battle B-daman (구슬대전 배틀 비드맨), any luck with this?

The game page from Play-Asia:

I'm specialized for the research of obscure and rare titles
but the really difficult task is to find korean pc versions of Sengoku Ace and Sengoku Blade/Tengai!

As your link clearly shows, this game named not "B-daman", but "Beadman" by author.

Check PM.

Wow! Nice Korean games here.

Good to know that there are / were more games from Asia than the almost omnipresent Japan.
