Hi all,
If you've been following HG101 lately (http://www.hardcoregaming101.net), we've taken a few steps to grow the site a bit and add more articles, the biggest change is that we'll now be paying people for submissions. We have a large chunk of Falcom's games covered, but I would like them to be more extensive. I've put up a list of "bounties" in the latest update for series we want covered and their price, and I'm going to copy/paste the list of Falcom games below:
Legend of Heroes
The sixth entry in the Dragon Slayer mega-series was a typical JRPG, and formed its own line of games. The first one was released on multiple platforms - only the PC Engine/Turbografx-16 version was translated into English. The second was skipped. The third, fourth and fifth games form the Gahgarhv Trilogy - these were all ported to the PSP, and all were released in the US. (They're bad ports with bad translations, to be honest.) An article on this was started years ago, but needs finishing. A brief summary of the first game was written, and full reviews for the third (White Witch) and fourth (Crimson Tear) were written, but the full article should flesh out the coverage for the first two games, and cover the fifth game (Song of the Ocean), comparing the PSP version to the original PC (Windows) version. The sixth entry spawned yet another subseries, Sora no Kiseki, which is already covered on the site.
Bounty: $50
Zwei!!
These irrepressibly cutesy dungeon crawlers are pretty fun, although none have been released in English. The first game was released for the PC, PS2, and most recently (2009) the PSP. The second game is PC only.
Bounty: $50
Lord Monarch
I admit, I have no clue what's going on in this game. It's part of the Dragon Slayer subseries but appears to be some kind of real time strategy game. It began on the PC and eventually spawned to consoles, including the Genesis and Playstation. There's also some kind of spinoff called Monarch Monarch (also known as Mona2) and others.
Bounty: $50
(We'll take one on Gurumin too, though I didn't explicitly mention it on the site - we'd probably pay about $20 for that one, and has to cover both the PC and PSP release.)
Honestly I'm not sure what else left there is to cover for Falcom, at least off the top of my head. If anyone else can think of anything, let me know. If you've read the site you know what the kind of depth we talk about games, but there's a writing guide linked on the index page that goes into specifics.
Thanks!
