There is the site for the unofficial English patch for Rusty made by a group called "46 OkuMen". There is another Rusty video on youtube made by a slightly more popular channel called "Sharopolis". Otherwise, the most active English language community for PC-98 in general is probably the Facebook group "NEC PC-98 Club". There are also PC-98 forums on both fullmotionvideo.free.fr and nfggames.com, but neither one is very active anymore. EDIT: Also maybe /r/PC98 on reddit. There are generally not very many active resources about PC-9801 available in English.

A note for people who still use the actual PC-9801 machine. It uses a hardware feature called EGC in Rusty. This feature has been available since PC-9801VX (R, D, F, B series, all PC-9821) And on Epson compatible machines, it has been available since PC-386S. Rusty is a hybrid-compatible program that automatically detects the hardware configuration and runs on models that do not have EGC. However, the PC-9801VM and Epson PC-286 series are not equipped with EGC, so they run extremely slowly. For this reason, the supported models in the package are VX or later. I know of very few PC-9801 games that use the EGC function. Even in NEC's reference manual, it is an omitted feature, and there is almost no accurate technical information available. When playing Rusty on a real machine, I recommend 9801DA, DS, FA, FS, BA, etc. and CPU of 386SX or 386DX or higher if possible. PC-9821 series is the best environment.

@@ZX3000GT1 The background cells are transferred between VRAM to VRAM at high speed. However, since EGC can only be used in 16-bit units, EGC is only used for even numbers in the horizontal direction and not for odd numbers (multiples of 8 pixels). Therefore, when stopping or getting caught in a rope, the position is adjusted to be even when the number is odd.

Thanks for your suggestion. I understand that some players prefer "pixel perfect" mode, but I prefer to squish the horizontal aspect ratio so that it looks more similar to a 4:3 monitor. I just tried your suggestion, though, and Rusty in particular does look pretty good in "pixel perfect" mode (probably because the character Rusty is so skinny). The circles like the moon at 17:58 might also look a little more circular like that too, but might be my imagination. But, regardless, I always use the same 4:3 setup on my RGB upscaler for all PC-98 games... for consistency's sake. In most PC-98 games the characters look too fat to me in "pixel perfect" mode.

Hey! Friendly neighborhood MSX fanboy here again, with more MSX Fun Facts(tm). Heheh. Actually, I should first say that this was an awesome video -- I'm certainly familiar with Rusty (it's hard to be into retro Japanese PC gaming and NOT be familiar with it!), but I've never actually played it, so it's interesting to see it in action and get a really thorough look at how it works under the hood. The approach to running... sounds pretty obnoxious, NGL, and I'm not sure how well I'd be able to get used to that. But other than that, it looks like an awesome time, and a game I would REALLY enjoy playing! On the MSX front, you may think I have nothing to talk about that would be Rusty-related... but actually, there exists a Rusty clone for MSX! It's called "Noname" (yes, really), and is an indie homebrew game from prolific Spanish homebrew developer Oscar Kenneth Albero Ingles, better known as KAI Magazine -- though it's actually a vintage homebrew from him, as it was developed back in the late '90s! It's... nowhere near as good as Rusty, which is something I'm sure KAI himself would agree with. And it's also an EXTREMELY SMUTTY R18 game -- the cutscenes are some of the best-animated on the entire MSX platform, TBH, but a solid half of them are just straight-up hardcore sex scenes, with undocumented keyboard toggles to change... erm... positions. Yeah. The game is still worth playing, though, if only for the absolutely RIDICULOUS story and the "incredible" translation. See, the game was developed in Spanish, and translated to English... and it's a very rough translation, but it's absolutely HILARIOUS. I actually recorded the entirety of the intro (which is... mostly R18-free!) here, many years ago, because I couldn't stop laughing at the absolutely amazing dialogue. If you're so inclined, I highly recommend checking it out, as I'm quite certain you'll get a good laugh out of it. The video ID on KZitem is HA4iPTX0968. The game itself is also... fine. Though it only plays at a decent pace on a Turbo R system (it's EXTREMELY SLUGGISH, to the point that it's barely playable, on an MSX2 or MSX2+), and fair warning, just about all of the music in it is MSX FM arrangements of music from other games (including Rusty's iconic stage 1 theme, arranged to MSX FM for Noname's stage 1!). Even the above-linked intro uses the classic pop song "Just Can't Get Enough" as BGM, for some reason. ;) Oh, the game also has a number of secret passages leading to items, but if you don't backtrack and take the regular path through each stage after you're done exploring them, the boss won't ever show up. So, yeah... it's buggy, on top of everything else. Despite all of these complaints, though, I still do recommend it. It's an experience! And even with all the hardcore sex scenes, the intro and ending alone make the whole game worthwhile. And if you're looking for more Rusty action... well, this isn't quite that, but it's a decent enough gas station brand substitute, so it'll at least sate your hunger a little bit. ;) Just figured I'd let you know!

Hahaha. Never heard of it. Sounds... interesting. :) And running Rusty is really not that big a deal. If you're playing on an emulator, the hard drive images out there are mostly set up so you can just boot them and you'll get the voices. On a real PC-98, you've pretty much just gotta run the installer and then boot the system with the system disk inserted. No biggie. Also if you have an extra hard drive partition, you can just go ahead and set it up with the boot files from the system disk and have an all-in-one Rusty bootable hard drive disk with the voices working (just like the emulator hdd images).

I gave it back to my friend who has a lot more time and patience than I do, who already owns other PC-98s but will still no doubt make good use of the Epson formerly owned by me. I simply don't play enough games these days to justify collecting for multiple retro PCs, and as I'm already in so deep with MSX collecting, and I can readily output my MSX to my big-screen HDTV with minimal effort and a shockingly high-quality signal (something I definitely could not do with the PC-98!), I chose MSX. It was an easy choice, in retrospect, but only because I got such a huge head-start with MSX. Were I to have started collecting for PC-98 way back when, things could've turned out very differently now! That's part of why I love watching these videos of yours, though. They help show me what could've been. I can enjoy these games vicariously through you! Heheh.

I am quite surprised Sega never considered porting it to one of their systems. As they loved porting Japanese PC games that were similar to Nintendo titles. Speaking of which are you ever planning to cover Golvellius in the future?

The only PC-98 game I own is the original uncensored version of the hentai shmup Steam Hearts (notable for having art by Kimura Takahiro, who'd later go on to find mainstream fame as character designer for Code Geass). That cost me £200 on its own, so you getting a whole batch of games for under $100 leaves me envious.

The name Monte Carlo is derived from the name of the place famous for the Monaco Grand Prix, but it is actually derived from the Monte Carlo method, a random number method named by Neumann, the father of the computer.

The graphics in this look slightly vertically stretched; not just the game, but the cut scenes and maps as well. Notice how round objects aren't actually perfectly circular, but oval instead. Edit: It looks like the "MS-DOS" version is at the right ratio, with the black bars at the top and bottom.

Anyone else get the strong feeling that the image is squished horizontally? If I do a screenshot and stretch it to 16:9, everything looks much more natural. Might even improve the feeling of the controls. Seriously, even the orb and everything else that's obviously supposed to be round is egg-shaped. It's like the engine is running in widescreen mode. EDIT: 21:29 Even the screenshot on that site shows a wider aspect ratio than 4:3. Probably whatever aspect ratio japanese screens had at the time.

The "Epson PC" version is the PC-98 version. Epson made a few PC's that were PC-98 compatible. I think the way it's written on wikipedia is misleading. Epson PC version ought to be deleted.

It bugs me a liitle that on the cover art and in the sprites, Rusty wears dark blue and has green hair, but in the cutscenes she wears red has brown hair. Also she seems more like a seductress in the box art, but a lot more innocuous in the cutscenes, like a normal young anime young woman who happens to wear dominatricks stuff.
