Here's a fun little nugget for the weekend: a rare Tron Ni Kobun demo featuring the very elusive Kobun #41. Originally bundled with PlayStation D magazine issue 21, this demo contains two Kobun training mini games (Attack Training Courses A~D and Speed Training Course Rounds 1~3). Successfully completing both nabs you the Kobun #41 save data for use with the full game.
Aside from a couple different musical cues and sound effects, there aren't too many differences from the final retail version here. One really neat thing, though, is seeing #41's unique portrait. In the 17 years following the original game's release, it hasn't appeared *anywhere* else. I've yet to peek into the VRAM for any oddities lurking inside the demo, so who knows what could be in there. In any case, you're free to download it from a certain green button on the side of this page.
Thanks to HF for procuring the demo!
Does the save work for the English version?77
ReplyDeleteNope
DeleteBLAH!
DeleteOMG!!!! #41.... wait a minute!! #41 is the rarest Kobun, right? Tetsuo's number in Akira was 41. The 41 is special in Japan?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. By the way, we are waiting for Rockman X3 Prototype. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe know. Still working on it
DeleteWe have faith in you. You can do it. :D
DeleteLike the Servbots say: "YAY!" :D
ReplyDeleteBTW, someone knows which issue of the magazine had the Battle & Chase save?
And here I thought the Servbot #41 save was on an included memory card like the Duo unlock for the Battle & Chase first print copies. Should've figured it'd be on a demo disc. Reminds me of the saves you'd get from PlayStation Underground in the U.S. (Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine during the PS2 days).
