The Basement Brothers look at Popful Mail for the PC-88
Falcom's Popful Mail is one of those games that takes after classic anime. It's almost the perfect anime-styled light RPG, with appealing and fun characters on a quest that doesn't take itself too seriously. It got a good number of ports, and they all have something a bit diffe

I finally updated my banner to include my Fediverse account and blog. Here's what the drawing of Gaw in my banner looks like normally.

Edit: I considered finally adding an introductory pinned post, but I opted to add a bit to my description instead. I think people can get the point pretty quickly just by glancing at my posts.

Game Over, a Popful Mail Thing

Final batch of screenshots from that cutscene in Popful Mail on PC-9801. Re: https://tech.lgbt/@wyatt8740/112306606272768394

Alt on a picture of Tatt we've seen before; in the game he actually blinks before looking in the other direction, but his eyes are looking off to the left now and his mouth is closed.

"Materiaru/Material" (the wizard, Muttonhead in the Sega CD translation), realizing he's going to be kept imprisoned there in a room while they're away. Eyes bulging out of his head as he yells to be freed.

Mail smiling and waving good bye, Tatto scratching the side of his head while smiling, and Gaw waving as they walk away from the magician/wizard, to leave the ruins. Tatto says "sorry, please be patient for a while and I'll be back for you". In the next line (not shown) he says "Are you trying to starve me to death!?!"

More screenshots from that Popful Mail cutscene! That's right; there's more (and one more post's worth after this)!

Gaw, a bat-winged blob creature that looks like something from Bubble Bobble (a little cute dinosaur thingy) standing by a curb.

Similar to a prior screenshot of Mail interrogating the wizard, but now she looks visibly irritated and the wizard has a bead of sweat on his bald head.

Mail stretching her arms and walking towards the entrance of the town, while Tatt looks on surprised, as if saying "ah, we're going right now?!"

Mail looking towards the "camera" or close to it and smiling widely, with the ocean in the distance. You can see ripples in the water and hills off in the mist.

The music track that plays during that cutscene in Popful Mail (see other post). Real hardware recording, on PC-9801.
I could imagine hearing a song like this in one of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, actually. #popfulmail #popful_mail #falcom #ym2608 #pc98 #music

More PC-9801 Popful Mail screenshots
I know you can't hear it, but there's some very impressive music that I think may have been cut in the Mega CD version here. I'll make a follow up post with a recording from my hardware of it. #pc98 #popfulmail #popful_mail #ym2608 #pixelart #falcom
(Edit: More: part two, part three)

Mail and Tatto and now Gaw capture the old wizard (in blue).

Mail and Tatto surveying the ruins of the town that they started out in (which used to look okay). Something's destroyed it while she was hunting for the wizard.

Mail presumably asking the wizard what he knows.

Tatt asking the wizard if he's claiming a formerly sealed god is responsible for the destruction. Hat taken off. Ruffly blue hair underneath.

More Popful Mail PC-9801 screenshots (real hardware). Quite different from the Mega CD game, and yet somehow very much the same. I'm even playing with a Japanese mega drive 6 button pad (through an adapter I made). The JP ones are smaller. #popfulmail #pc98 #falcom

Mail meeting and talking with "Tatt" (Tato) after the first "world" area. He's about to join the party. Mail's an elf with red hair and red and blue plate armour; Tatt's a magician in a red hat with a leaf in the band, blue short hair, and a staff and cloak. He's very cute. So is she, though.

More discussion; Mail seen from behind. Despite wearing armour up top... she really is just wearing some kind of undies or something on the bottom for some reason. Also a pretty view of a sky full of clouds; shot from low to the ground. Very vivid.

Player Select: Mail (cute little portrait of Mail)

Player select: Tatto (cute picture of Tatto)

New details suggest US release was planned after Japanese backlash - You would be forgiven for thinking that Nihon Falcom'... #PopfulMail https://gamesense.co/game/popful-mail/news/discuss/random-action-rpg-popful-mail-was-planned-to-be-remade-as-sister-sonic-on-mega-cd/

Ein unfassbar gemütlicher Abend mit dem Sega Mega CD startet in 10 Minuten :) Das Mega CD hat vollkommen unverdient den Ruf eines Rohrkrepierers. Wir schauen uns heute Abend die eine oder andere Perle an die damals nicht jeder auf dem Schirm hatte. #retro #retrogaming #retrogamer #retrogames #twitch #twitchdeutschland #twitchstream #streamer #megadrive #genesis #blastprocessing #megacd #segamegacd #silpheed #finalfightcd #popfulmail
