This past month has been crazy. Truly mental. But now that things are slowing down a little bit I am finally getting to do some of the things that I truly love to do. One of those things is digging up information on the games that I love, and of those games the one that continues to both amuse and vex me is Carnage Heart.
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, and I imagine that's pretty much everyone, Carnage Heart was a mech based strategy game where you actually had to program the artificial intelligence of your units. It was a great game both because of its complexity and its unforgiving nature. Anyway, yesterday I remembered that there had been a different version released in Japan that I had never been able to track down.
I set out on a quest to locate it. I scoured every site and search engine I knew of and in the end discovered that not only was there another version for Playstation, but that Artdink had released a version for the PC that allowed you to play by e-mail! After a bit more searching I started to panic, my lunch break was approaching its end and as far as I could tell nobody had ever bought the game, and certainly nobody was selling it. I had totally missed the boat on a PC version of one of my favorite games. True, all the signage pointing to the boat had been in Japanese, but I find it remarkable that in the five years since this game was released on PC I hadn't even come across one reference to it. Are my nerdly powers waning? Or have I just been ignoring foreign markets, instead choosing to invest my gaming time in domestic fare?
I will look into it a bit more on my lunch break today, but in the meantime, if anyone out there knows where I could download or buy a copy of Carnage Heart: Second Zeus for PC, I want it, I need it, and it's very possible I will die without it.
