Homebrew'ish Roguelike Mystery: Dicing Knight " _"
« on: January 09, 2010, 08:21:48 PM »
http://www.romhacking.net/trans/1073/  I've mentioned Dicing Knight on here before as a rather nifty Wonderswan Color Action-Roguelike.  But now....things just got a whole lot more mysterious/curious via my coming across the following link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicing_Knight_Period   Dicing Knight Period...and even moreso Legion homebrew efforts have me wondering just what went on and what the "last" versions wound up transforming into among the enthusiast community that apparently wrangled them, especially this seemingly even more exclusive Legion version.

This is some Roguelike history/Basin worthy subject to consider...and I'm stumped.

Do we have any Japanese literate folks around here that could do some sleuthing?
