[PC] Xi Games (1 Viewer)

[Mebius]

Once again, I'm sporadically out of lurking mode to pay my debt to society. I found these a good while ago in my neverending search for Metroidvania games. Since it's still pretty difficult to find all of them in one place, I may as well share. Note that they all contain my long-completed save data, so everything is already unlocked. You can wipe the saves by copying one of the empty save files over my complete ones, so no worries for those who want to unlock the CGs and scenes themselves.

Anyway, a little about them. They're all made by a group that goes by Xi. There's no gore in any of them, so look elsewhere if that's your thing. The first five games are parodies of 'R@gnarok' Online, and they feature still CGs of the Acolyte, Priest and High Priest classes being tormented by whatever familiar enemies you happen to be defeated by. There's a single CG for every monster in the game, so have fun getting owned. The first two (the 'Quest' games) of the five happen to be quite a bit worse than the latter three (the 'Adventure' games) in that they don't offer merchants and equipment for customization.

A quick tip for the Adventure games: Magic rules. Figure out which books cast the lightning spell and abuse the crap out of it. Also, claws are just terrible. As for the Quest games, Agility makes you move and attack faster. You might not notice it much at first, but it really helps to get it as high as you can to avoid enemies later on. Agility works the same in the Adventure series, it just isn't as important there since you aren't forced to be a melee character.

The last two of his games, Vore Action RPGs one and two, aren't really Metroidvania so much as Zelda. Their content is less in danger of copyright infringement and, as opposed to the still images of his previous works, they both feature one short but fully voiced video of our heroine being swallowed alive in traditional vore style for every single enemy in the game. The first game features equipment but no shopkeepers; the second has a town, merchants of all kinds, even a companion system and two applicable henchwomen. Sadly, though both helpers can be swallowed temporarily, neither of them have images or videos of their own.

I'm not really into vore and it's not the playstyle I'm always looking for, but VARPG2nd is pretty good even for people with interests outside of that particular niche. Bosses can be really annoying if you're not trying to get eaten, though. Buffs from your helpers are nice, but it's hard to rely on them when they're almost always getting nommed. The only tip I can really give is to utilize charged attacks to their fullest. Even as a fighter build, you won't get far on regular attacks.

But enough of my rambling. On to the download links! The first five are actually 100~180 MB uncompressed, so don't be fooled by their small size. They pack a mean right zipper.

Enjoy the frustration of being eaten over and over again! Try it with your friends! Order now at..! Yeah, I'm done. Lemme know if any parts are missing or something and I'll fix it. Everything looks to be in order to me, but I've been up for some thirty hours.

Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but here I have an issue about the Acolyte,Priest and High Priest series.

As I open the game (which ever of these three), the screen go black like always when you open a full screen. But suddenly after that, it automatically shut down by itself. No error message or anything is shown on the screen. Which mean, when I double click the icon, my entire screen go black and then pop back to the desktop again. Do you have any ideas about this?

Another thing, I already have VRPG (1st one) & Viocide which can be played with no problem. I have absolutely no idea what is the cause of this.

PS : I use window XP and already set the language to Japanese.

 

[Mebius]

Unfortunately, I don't have any perfect answers for you. My copies work fine on seemingly the exact same setup you have (XP, near-permanent Japanese regional settings), so I don't have a whole lot to go on. But since Viocide works and the others don't, it probably isn't video/driver related. I downloaded Acosann from the link in the first post myself to make sure the download isn't screwed up (MegaUpload does that sometimes, so I've been converting to MediaFire these days) and it worked fine for me. The only thing I tried that produced an effect close to what you described was deleting the save data, specifically sys.dat, which crashed to desktop immediately and gave me the typical 'WTF just happened, please tell Microsoft about your porn' XP error.

If that's what happened, create a new text document in the savedata folder and rename it 'sys.dat'. All that file keeps track of is which CGs have been unlocked, so an empty file means a blank slate. It should load fine at that point. As far as the other files in the savedata folder, you'd have to copy a 'new game' save over the existing save slot I left in there. So you'd delete file1.dat, copy file4.dat, rename the copy file1.dat, etc. Be sure to do the same thing with start1.dat too, since that's the location you'd start at when loading the file of the same number.

I probably didn't need to explain all of that because, knowing my luck, your issue will wind up being something else entirely. But it's information I should have put(/clarified) in the first post anyway, so there it is. Let me know if that helps. If not, see if you can explain the crash and your setup in any more detail and I'll take another stab at a solution. Specifically I'd like to know exactly which titles are doing this, since there are two priest and high priest games. I'm assuming you mean the Adventure series (as opposed to Quest), but assumptions are bad for me.

Edit: I'll add some game screenshots to the first post soon, unless someone else wants to. I've been meaning to update my older threads with screens anyway.

I appreciate your help, unfortunately that things didn't work out. Which setup detail should I try to provide more? I don't think the screen resolution is related to this issue. By the way, my window is "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3" , also I use AVG for anti-virus. (might not have anything to do with the problem though)

Oh, and I don't think it has anything to do with the savefile (I might be wrong), cuz the game crash before it's even loaded up.

I dunno if I'll be able to explain it better or not but I will try.
You know, when you open a full screen game, your entire screen will go black right? And a couple sec after that, your game will load up, showing the menu.
So my problem is, I open the game and my screen go black as though it is loading. (switching to full screen mode, I guess) But suddenly after that, instead of showing the game screen or menu, it crashes and I got kicked out to the desktop at the moment the game is about to loaded up. Curiously, none of any error message window show up. (such as the typical 'WTF just happened, please tell Microsoft about your porn')

Also, this issue happen to every of the Aco,Priest and High Priest game which I assume to be 5 of them, I guess? (Two quest, three adventure)

Still looking for the cause though, but couldn't find anything yet. ~_~

Alright. A little research later, I've got a few ideas. First, some people with the same issue reported the games working fine after installing a font. Specifically, this one. Drag it into your WINDOWS/Fonts filder and see if that makes a difference. I didn't have the font and it didn't make a difference for me, but it's had success reported on other forums and it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work, read on.

The other thing is that the older games are pretty poorly made (which should be obvious enough by the massive file sizes for relatively simple games). They apparently don't like to work on some newer video cards, but there were a few patches released that I can't find offhand that would at least make them run, albeit with graphics corruption for some people. I believe all these patches did was run the game without 3D acceleration on, which you can toggle yourself by running dxdiag.exe (in Windows/System32, or Start>Run>dxdiag), clicking the Display tab, then clicking the Disable button next to Direct3D Acceleration. If this makes the game actually run, it will probably have graphical errors. At that point you know your issue is a video card incompatibility, in which case I can't really give you any suggestions other than running the Quest and Adventure games on a different computer if you have access to one. Sorry.

I'll see if I can find one of the patches and take a look at it later, as I've got work in a few minutes.

Yeah! It works at last! Strangely, like you said, it's the font issue. (good thing it works anyway, no complain) I didn't know that some fonts missing actually make the game crash or can't run, that's new to me.

Anyway, I'm very grateful for your help. I've been looking for solution for several days and here you are helping me out. >_< Thanks again!

 

[wtfz]

i can request pics?
Thx for sharing, even if its old I don't remember seeing this thread :S Maybe i missed it.

<Edit> O.o i just might get all of them, 2mb/s on MU :pacman:

 

[Mebius]

Added some images, finally. Those probably won't stay up very long before Imageshack freaks out about them (they removed a swimsuit gallery I had. Swimsuits. Come on, that's so damn tame it's not even funny), so does anyone know an image hosting service that doesn't care about the content they're hosting?

 

[dummy]

I use Photobucket, but I don't if they care about the uploaded stuff or not. Probably they do. :(

 

[Xcrisis42]

I'm a bit new to this place, but im wondering are all these just screenshots or the actual game?

 

[dummy]

Of course, all the links Mebius provided are actual games.

 

[Ellina]

i just don't like the censorship -.-

 

[danielwain]

Sorry, but could someone reupload these games? Megaupload is down so I can't get any of the games T.T

 

[Silphy]

I have to second that request actually, sadly. I'd like to play these as well.

 

[TKNY]

yup, anyone kind enough to reupload?

 

[bigboss]

please anyone kind reupload the games again !

 

[superman12]

Have been looking for the first game on that list for years now. Finally found it but dead link. If anyone even have the original names of all these in either japanese or english I can try to help track these down.

Edit: Not sure if this forum allows links to other forums. but in the case that it does. here it is
List of hentai platformers & fighting games (links, screenshots)
if not. then I'm not sure what happens now.

 

[danielwain]

Could someone tell me what kind of font you need? I have found a place to download one of the games, but it has the same problem as mentioned earlier.

 

[|Alien|]

This is the link for the Font.
Knife Japanese Font

 

[jackgold46]

I use Photo bucket, but I don't if they appropriate fear about the published factors or not. Probably they do.
