On the plus side, thanks to rom¹ hacks and translations, you can easily find any of these games to play on an emulator. For the most part these games are classic titles from the past that you have either never played or never had a chance to play. I’m really into lucrative titles, especially when they are about Halloween or horror. Hopefully this works well on a modded console and I can enjoy this game on real hardware, otherwise I will most likely stick to my flash cart translated version on the SNES, but it’s a great game that everyone should play.

If you missed it, the link for that is in the opening sentence of this post. Thanks to a new English localization, you can easily patch an ISO to play the game localized, in English. Unfortunately just like its original Super Famicom release, this was the only game in the series not to make it to the west yet again (probably due to the translation/localization cost). A fan translation of that version is available if you’re interested, but there was a Playstation re-release that had enhanced graphics, new scenes, and – my personal favorite – FMV sequences added in. This makes it somewhat of a successful version of what games like Phantasmagoria were hoping to accomplish. What sticks out about this title is that unlike the sequels it’s a 2D point-and-click adventure that has lots of scares, intense moments, and violence. I don’t know if you’re as big a fan of Clock Tower as I am, but unlike the 3D installments that existed on the Playstation 1 and 2 in the US my big draw is the original released on Super Famicom (SNES) and only in Japan. A fan translation of the enhanced PS1 port of Clock Tower, known as Clock Tower: The First Fear and only released in Japan, has been released in a patch from user “arcraith” on.
