Re: Hello I forgot to post this lol

Hey welcome to the forums!

Good luck and hope you're able to play/replay it soon, whether fixing your Sega CD or via emulator.

Re: Lunar Silver Star Magazine Advertisement SEGA CD Exclusive

Oh this matches the one we have here: https://lunar-net.com/tss/artwork/promo-tss10.jpg (in https://lunar-net.com/tss/artwork.php) This is always great to see! Where'd you find this one?

Re: Request for Ordered Music List

However, as I worked on reviewing all the tracks, it quickly became clear that LunarNET's list was far from accurate with regard to music, SFX, etc. And beyond that there are a lot of judgment calls about what amount of voice is acceptable and how much is too much to include in the collection, and ...

Re: What Are These Tracks From?

Unfortunately my memory is a little rusty with audio and it's really hard for me also to place these. I can only get two of them clearly. For 27 / Unknown, I am equally stumped. I cannot place this *at all*. For 52 / Relax, I also can't place where this is played in game (especially the first time)....

I already nerded out over this elsewhere, but it's REALLY AWESOME you also captured the interviews and music video at the end! So much 90s JPop goodness.

Re: This upcoming movie has a hilariously bad knockoff Grindery

Ok I'm reviving this because right now, for some reason, I really want to watch this movie. I've been watching scattered clips and it's so over-the-top that it looks delightfully absurd. This would've been such a fun "it's bad but it's good" movie to have seen, were it not for $15 tickets ...

Re: What Are You Currently Playing?

Finally finished Journey (for the first time) weekend before last. I also had one of the most unique experiences that could only be had in a game like Journey. I played the first 2/3rds through one weekend, and picked it up the next, but sort of lost some skill at the controls. I finally joined up w...

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

So... how many of y'all are naming your islands Vane?

...or even Ien/Iyen?

For real if I played then I might go the Ien route and try to have MSL-themed decorations, for all the three people who might still catch that reference.

Welcome! Yeah the... ship for a true "Lunar 3" sailed long ago. Magical School Lunar is fun (encounter rate aside), but after Dragon Song, I... kind of have come to terms with letting the series conclude. BTW would not mind seeing/hearing more about vintage games! I have a love of older te...

For real it might seem expensive but that is not a bad price...

I skimmed through the system a while ag...

Sayonara Wild Hearts... Just picked this up a couple days ago. Sayonara Wild Hearts is such a beautiful game. It's not quite an arcade game, not quite a rhythm game, but you play through a pop/synthwave soundtrack through cyberpunk-style tracks, everything fitted perfectly to the music, weaving in z...

Re: Japanese name/reference for Magic Tester?

I know of a reference in TSS, and which is retained in English. The Vane Magic School honor roll is made up of references to TV witch characters. Westerners may recognize Samantha of Bewitched, which was a hit in Japan and a forerunner to the magical girl genre. Most of the others are the title cha...

Re: Japanese name/reference for Magic Tester?

Say come to think of it... Is this the first Japanese pop-culture reference used in a Lunar game that anyone has found? The pop-culture references in the English version are pretty well-known (...and at times infamous), but just through the dialog. And, playing through all of the games in Japanese, ...
