Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
Well, I haven't played the games and I'm not too sure if I will play them. I guess I'd have to at least get some walkthroughs or something like that, some text dump from the games, names of the new characters and places. Also, most of them are in Japanese only so that makes it less easy, I'm not fluent in moonspeak. In sum, I want to see it done, just takes a ton of work, access to things that don't even exist properly and at the end of the day, you end up with only a sort of text fanfic.
Like I said, if I could actually draw good, like say, Toyble, I might be more inclined to do it. I might still do it, but it's probably gonna take a while and I make no promises of finishing.

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
Only thing I'm somewhat bothered is how these are written in continuity with each other. I think that gives people the wrong impression to be honest, unless that's the intent.
I know the first three games are sequels, but they're all just alternate (and very strange) takes on what happens in the manga. Krillin for example is obviously not a badguy in Daimao Fukkatsu like he is in Shenron no Nazo. I think OP should kind of divert the impression that there's a big epic story between the games.

Well, yeah, if I ever write something, it will be similar to what RoarkVegeta is already doing, only longer and more detailed.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:If you ever try this, even if it's incomplete, please please please, upload it! I beg you!

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
Could someone post a complete list of the video games that feature what-if, original or alternative stories?

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
I might pick up this project again at some point, but for now I've got another project going.
Also, I would mostly have to resort to YouTube's Let's Play videos or WalkThroughs and those might get really boring sometimes.

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
Just be patient buddy, I've been super busy lately, moved 4 times in the past year, 2 different countries and 4 different cities, job hunting, etc.. Overall, just really busy, I might pick this project again at some point, but it needs some dedication and time which I don't have at this point.

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
*Bump*
Well hi! So I finally managed to get the NES games and played through Mistery of Shenlong and... What a shitty game D: Oh my god!
So this game has a very loose story, the first part is based on the manga with some differences here and there, nothing major. Then you have a weird Kung Fu tournament that doesn't make much sense. As expected the only interesting bit (to me), is the fact that Goku goes to space for the first time MUCH earlier and encounters Toninjinka again with his famed henchmen Kurilien.
After this he goes to a region called Seven Islands and eventually into a jungle filled with racial stereotypes. There's a new character called King Binbo, he resembles a native american. Lastly there's a huge tower (I think Herms said this was called Konpei Tower) with lots of enemies and such and at the end a huge robot.
Oh and Pilaf has a pet two-headed dragon for no reason.
And on to Daimao's Revival!

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
I'm currently playing Daimao's Revival, replaying Advanced Adventure and restarted Attack of the Saiyans.
Fuck me, Daimao's Revival differs so much from the original source material it's insane! Advanced Adventure follows it up close with nothing amazing to point out. Attack of the Saiyans has some good "filler" chapters.
I'll post my progress soon enough.

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
Mistery of Shenlong
-------------------
Overall look:
Okay graphics. Shitty repetitive music. Retarded gameplay.
Chapter 1: Search for the Dragon Balls
A very similar telling of the first arc of Dragon Ball.
Chapter 2: Kung Fu Tournament
A weird tournament. Goku fights Kuririn, Yamcha and Buyon. Buyon is the "champion" and is called King Buyon. I think he fights Mettalic here too.
Chapter 3: Another Search for the Dragon Balls
So Goku decides to search for the Dragon Balls again, but alas one is in space. Goku travels to space (possibly the moon?) and finds a station where Toninjinka dwells, plotting his revenge. He sends out his newest henchmen, Kurilien. Goku fights Kurilien and easily defeats him and then Toninjinka, getting his Dragon Ball in the process.
From here Goku goes to a region called Seven Islands, this region is kinda swamp/jungle or something. Goku fights his way forward, defeating random "African gentlemen" and fish people, crabs and other weird things. Gets some Dragon Balls. King Binbo dwells here too, Goku defeats him.
Finally he reaches a towering mansion and again fights his way in, defeating hordes of baddies eventually reaching a giant robot wielding a nun-chuck I think. Gets the final Dragon Balls and gets his wish.
New stuff:
Kurilien: A strong four armed alien mercenary. He's based on Kuririn
King Binbo: A native american. Used a bow. That's about it.
Seven Islands: Rain forest type region. King Binbo reings here.
Tower/Mansion: Reminds me of Muscle Tower? Kinda? Enter the Dragon maybe.
Pilaf has a pet two-headed Dragon.
Daimao's Revival
----------------
Overall Look:
Okay graphics. Extremely boring and confusing fighting system. Moving on the world map drags a bit but it's not too bad. Music is okay. (Eventually I understood more about the fighting system but it's still kinda boring).
Chapter 1: Demon King's Revival
Some time has passed since the last Tenkaichi Budokai. Goku, Mutenroshi and Lunch arrive at Kame House, Kuririn was left house sitting. The house has been invaded and they find Umigame hiding. Goku finds Kuririn killed upstairs along with a sheet with the Ma symbol, the sign of Piccolo Daimao. Goku leaves in a hurry and finds Kuririn's killer, Tambourine and challenges him to a fight, although Tambourine is out of his league and he quickly loses, breaking the Dragon Radar and losing his Kintoun and Nyoibo in the process. He decides that he must warn the other fighters about these attacks and gather the Dragon Balls.
Chapter 2: Getting his gear back
Goku and Lunch go to Capsule Corp to ask Bulma to fix the radar, only to find that she's been kidnapped by the Demon Clan! After searching the city Goku stumbles upon their hideout and fights Ukulele, freeing Bulma. She fixes the radar and informs them that Yamcha was in the Transformation School with Puar and Oolong. She tags along with Goku.
They go to the school but everyone is acting a bit strange, they find out they're imposters from the Demon Clan, and Goku fights Ukulele again freeing Oolong and Puar. They inform him that actually Yamcha went to Jingle Village to recover from his injuries. (Why?)
So then they go to Jingle Village. By order of Piccolo, Pilaf kidnapped Hatchan and raided Muscle Tower. They go in and Hatchan attacks Goku, he's being remotely controlled by a computer. Oolong and Puar destroy the computer, freeing Hatchan. Pilaf attacks with his Pilaf Machine. Goku defeats him and they save Yamcha who was held captive in the tower. They also get the 2 Star Dragon Ball in the process. Outside, the village elder tells Goku that if he calls upon Kintoun it will appear. Goku decided to follow Pilaf.
Chapter 3: Get the Dragon Balls from Pilaf
Goku arrives at Pilaf's Castle, finds and defeats him again. Pilaf says that he'll never find the Dragon Ball. Looking through the castle Goku stumbles upon Tambourine again, defeats him and gets the 4 Star Dragon Ball. But there's one more ball here.
He goes to Baba's Palace to ask for her help, but she wants treasure in return. So he goes to Kame House and joins Bulma and Oolong with the mini-sub and they both go to the pirate cave. Once there they slowly follow through until reaching the spear trap, Goku jumps over and Bulma and Oolong disappear. Goku proceeds and fights the Pirate Robot. Looking around he finds a hole, goes in and finds another Demon Clan member, Banjo. After defeating Banjo, he gets the 3 Star Dragon Ball. He hears sounds from the other side of the wall, goes through the water and finds Taopaipai. After defeating him he rescues Bulma, Oolong and gets the treasure.
Now with the treasure, he goes back to Baba who gives Goku a saxophone, from there he goes back to Pilaf's Castle, finds a room guarded by Ukulele (again!), defeats him, plays the sax and gets the 6 Star Dragon Ball. (This whole part makes no sense).
Chapter 4: Getting the last Dragon Balls
So now the gang move onwards to the Karin Region. Upa has been kidnapped by the Tsurusennin. Tenshinhan and Chaozu happen to be there too (I think it's implied that they just come down from Karin's Tower).
So with Tenshinhan and Chaozu on his side, he challenges Tsurusennin whilst they rescue Upa. Goku defeats the Tsurusennin and climbs Karin Tower. There he finds Karin who gives him the Super God Water and tells him he's got a plan and that Goku should find all the Dragon Balls. (Good thing he's nearly done with that anyway).
So Goku goes to Penguin Village but Toninjinka has invaded and turned everyone into carrots! (It's implied that he's working for Piccolo too).
Senbe escaped and tells Goku all about it. Goku finds Arale and they both go to Toninjinka. Arale fights and easily defeats him since she's a robot and he can't turn her into a carrot.
One of the carrots was Suppaman who tells Goku that there are aliens in the village (apart from him I guess). Goku sees a spaceship flying around the village but can't follow it. So then he finds Yajirobe (who's randomly loitering here) and then Cymbal attacks! Goku defeats him, getting his Nyoibo back (so Cymbal had it for some reason) and Yajirobe gives him his 1 Star Dragon Ball. Goku uses his Nyoibo to strike the spaceship which crashes down. From inside comes Synthesizer, a two headed alien who attacks Goku. After Goku defeats him he gets the final Dragon Ball, the 5 Star.
Chapter 5: The Road to Defeat the Dark Lord
Goku returns to Karin and he tells him to got to the remote region of Konpei. Goku then moves there, eventually finding a shrine where he puts the Dragon Balls and summons Shenron to open the path to the floating island of Konpei. He climbs there and accepts the challenges that Lord Konpei gives him. After defeating Lord Konpei, he grants Goku with Holy items to defeat Piccolo. With these items he ventures to Piccolo's Mansion and once inside he fights Drum who's guarding an evil orb. After defeating him he smashes the orb with the Holy Hammer and frees all the souls of the people who were killed by the Demon Clan.
Chapter 6: Defeat the Demon King
Now Goku goes onwards to the Dark Castle (former King's Castle) and once there he defeats the last of the Demon Clan, Tambourine, Drum and Synthesizer.
Then he finally finds and challenges Piccolo, but not before Organ, Piccolo's personal assistant, provides him with an elixir made from human souls to grant Piccolo his former youth and power.
Goku and Piccolo clash and after a long battle Goku kills Piccolo by ramming through him.
Now peace can return!
New Stuff:
Ukulele: A small kappa looking mutant namekian offspring.
Pondanuki: A professor at the Transformation School. Looks like a panda even though he's based of of a Tanooki.
Ponkitsune: A professor at the Transformation School. Looks like a girl with fox ears. She was the one Oolong stole the panties from.
Banjo: A octo-humanoid mutated namekian.
Synthesizer: A two headed alien who invaded Penguin Village. Apparently he's also a member of the Demon Clan?
Lord Konpei: An anthropomorfic elephant deity.
Organ: A substitute for Piano for some reason, looks really weird, can't even describe him.
Transformation School: The school where Puar and Oolong studied. It's located south of West City.
Konpei Region: A remote region of the world, south of Karin. It's a floating island with a temple where Lord Konpei resides.
Piccolo's Mansion: Located west of Penguin Village. Just a dark and eerie mansion.

After defeating him he smashes the orb with the Holy Hammer and frees all the souls of the people who were killed by the Demon Clan.
Chapter 6: Defeat the Demon King
Now Goku goes onwards to the Dark Castle (former King's Castle) and once there he defeats the last of the Demon Clan, Tambourine, Drum and Synthesizer.
Then he finally finds and challenges Piccolo, but not before Organ, Piccolo's personal assistant, provides him with an elixir made from human souls to grant Piccolo his former youth and power.
Goku and Piccolo clash and after a long battle Goku kills Piccolo by ramming through him.
Now peace can return!

Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
I like that the story is different compared to the original, it feels like the DB movies.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
Re: DragonBall: As Told Through the Video Games!
Well, since this is more of an analysis of the games and less about "fan-created" I'm going to make a new thread on the video-games section and let this one die.
