Tower Of Druaga From International classic to Japan only MMORPG...... Darn it!!!!

Tower of Druaga or "Druaga no Tou" in Japanese the game first appeared in the arcades in 1984 a game created by NAMCO it use to run on the old Super Pac Man engine and was a grat classic for its time I had this game for the Super Famicom since in asia we mostly got this console instead of the NES games of this series were also realeased for the Super NES, Game boy Colored, Playstation, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, and the XBOX 360 the concepts of the games were all the same navigate the maze tower and reach the top of the 60 floor tower beat the evil lord druaga and rescue the preistess Ki

An anime series was also released on 2008 Tower of Druaga: Aegis Of Uruk and Tower Of Druaga: Sword Of Uruk (Season 2) which upon watching them became one of my favorite anime series of all time

And one game stands out in the series released on 2009 in Japan The "Tower Of Druaga: Recovery Of Babylim" was released it’s an MMORPG based on the series much of the concept is still the same but since the recent popularity of the Anime series and the news spreading of no IP blocks it’s got everybody jumping in the game

The objective is still to reach the 60 Floor and beat Druaga there are four job classes the Soldier, Scout, Druid, and Mage each job class has a second class and the third class has not yet been implemented

And for the players who are fans of the Anime and want to play the game I will be giving a link below for the guide on how to play In Japan servers but be warned it's going to be a big download and a long patching process but don’t worry since there seems to be quite a number of English speaking players from all over the world playing the guide also contains help/translations with the menus and skill interface

And here it is

AiSp@Ce MMOSG R-18 surely for Japan only sadly :(

AiSp@ace or "Ai" meaning love means "love space" in english it is a MMOSG or "an online social game" being R-18 means it doesn’t have any nudity or vulgar language the game focuses on the social aspect of things since in Japan people prioritize socialization because it is enforced upon them by companies to develop team building skills and also helps reduce social depression which is good

AiSp@ace can be described as similar to second life but uses an anime themed environment .The game starts out like all others you create your own avatar. Then by choosing from famous character models from animes such as Clannad, Shuffle!, Da Capo and a bit of special modifications like birthdays, blood types even behavior you create your own "chara-doll". Then the player proceeds to select from 3 areas or virtual islands (resembles the 3 anime worlds described) and lives with the chara-doll.

So you live in a house with your personalized "chara doll" equiped with furniture more can be bought in game and clothing for your chara-doll. When inside the house the chara-doll acts on its own and when players are outside however the chara-doll stays with the player. The player can freely converse with the chara-doll like the traditional Japanese dating games (text appears at the lower screen)

The three islands are connected by a main island or the central "Akihabara Island" (Yay!) modeled after the real "Akihabara" (Yay!!) players can interact with other players and their chara-dolls

AiSp@ace is free to play and makes use of the special shop using real money to by "NICO NICO points" to go shopping in Akihabara (Yay!!!)

This game is quite amazing though not much as a game it offers great social interaction with both A.I and other people. Well yeah I know it’s an "Otaku" thing but globally this game would be great sadly it’s only in Japan. With a booming anime market i belive this would work globally how about you?
