Regardless, it ain't easy. I much prefer playing Hany on the Road, by the way. Hany in the Sky presents some interesting ideas, but the end product isn't as interesting as it could/should be, IMO.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-28650738377468908352012-07-04T14:57:51.651-07:002012-07-04T14:57:51.651-07:00Oh wow, another Hany game!

A few examples: Mizubaku Daibouken, New Zealand Story, PC Denjin, the PC Genjin games, etc. I guess it was a "thing" back then, eh?Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-57972833540751196352012-06-29T10:13:13.297-07:002012-06-29T10:13:13.297-07:00Thank you for the education, maadmluna!

Is it simply because they're cute or look interesting, or are there other reasons? No worries if you have no idea. I just had to ask, as I'm curious.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-63234383962601920752012-06-29T10:00:42.171-07:002012-06-29T10:00:42.171-07:00I do like it when Japanese game manuals have littl...I do like it when Japanese game manuals have little things like comics. The manual for "The story of Thor" had some 4 panel comics that comically talked about the dietys you would obtain throughout the game. They were pretty funny, even if you can't read the words.Motherplayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904671208044717027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-25348082275533817042012-06-29T10:00:12.157-07:002012-06-29T10:00:12.157-07:00Actually yeah, Hany is supposed to be a haniwa, wh...Actually yeah, Hany is supposed to be a haniwa, which is a type of Japanese funerary statue.
