Title: RPGMaker PS1
Post by: Moosetroop11 on November 12, 2019, 08:58:04 AM
One of my friends found a copy of RPGMaker on the PS1 at a dump and gave it to me as an early christmas present :p

I never even knew it existed! I know it's probably going to be pretty limited and a bit rubbish but it's nice just to own.

Has anyone played it before? I need to hook up a ps2 and then I'll report back.

I remember my cousin having it, he was the one who introduced me to this entire thing with 2k3 on a usb stick 14 years ago. Can't remember much of it though, but kinda remember it being like Dragon Quest?

I recall it existing, but I know nothing else about it. Do keep us posted; I'd love to hear how good a job it does at being more than a novelty.

I've played one of the SNES and the PS2 version, but doing everything with the controller was too annoying xD
Have fun !

Nice find! I once was recommended that one once back when we had a Game Crazy store the dude recommended the old RPG maker on PS1. Alas, add that to rarest games in the Deep South I got two for the PS2 but never knew there was one on the SNES o.O

There are two one the SNES; japanese exclusive. I think Super Dante was fan translated, although I'm not sure it was this one.

RPG Maker dates from much earlier than that with Mamirin  on PC-8801 (1988) and MSX2 versions (Dungeon Manjirou , RPG Construction Tool:Dante & 2), and PC-9801. It's that old!

They made a T-RPG version as well, Simulation RPG Tsukūru, which is a great tool for creating Fire Emblem-like retro-games. The other makers allow you to do it but it's often annoying and not made for contrary to this one.
