DU Update: BriXian & Baryon
#253960 - 05/08/11 02:11 AM




f205v and Kold666 got BriXian and Baryon. You can see BriXian here:

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/korea/part2/company-semicom.htm

Supposedly it's a ripoff of Puzznic. Baryon is apparently a vertical shooter:

Which is much more exciting.

Nice! Are these both on 68k-based hardware or something else?

I don't have pics. He said BriXian is Z80 + AY8910. I assume Baryon is similar to other Semicom boards from that era.

Having undumped games listed out doesn't do any good as far as finding them goes. You can't search for them. It's a matter of what becomes available and having enough money at the same time. I could get another Semicom shooter right now for $700. Silver Millenium sold in Japan a few days ago for around $1200.

If I had a better grasp of Korean, maybe you _could_ search for them. Especially what does it translate as into Hangul? But I don't, and Google Translate isn't all that helpful in this regard.

Tell me when you know Korean. First tell me how to scream at you in Korean and then find games. But then we still won't have money for them.

I requested snaps of Baryon but haven't gotten them. There are early emulation shots but the colors are all wrong. It turns out BriXian isn't really a clone, just looks that way. It's all new code, like with Mr. Dig.

Oh man, that first picture... I remember playing that specific game like sixteen years ago in a seedy arcade in my hometown!

I don't remember if it had girly pics, but I only saw it once and then the arcade closed down. Something about safety hazards, I think.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't. It could have been a hacked version of Puzznic for all I know, but I think it was this one. We got all sorts of weird stuff down here in those days.

No. BriXian has an MCU that will have to be simulated or decapped. Baryon we're guessing will just need a trojan run on it like the other Semicom games from that time period but I haven't heard news that the work is done yet.

more specifically it's a 68705P5S. definitely a decap job.

Oh man, I figured out what brixian is, sort of.
In 1988, Taito released puzznic (both adult and 'family' versions) for arcades.
In 1991, Michael Riedel (Radiesel) made an unlicensed clone in DOS of puzznic called 'brix', which was later (1992) bought up/published by Epic Megagames (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix_%28video_game%29) and had some really awesome opl2 music added (play it in dosbox!)
BriXian (1993) seems to be a mix of assets of both brix and puzznic ported back from PC to arcade.
In BriXian, the black background behind the level counter, retry counter and timer, as well as pairs remaining area comes from brix (brix 1.0, the pre-epic version); puzznic did not have that at all (the better to see the naked chicks on those romsets which have them)
