 Micom Basic SC-3000 games preserved! (12 so far)

Back in February this year, I was inspired by Gaming Alexandria's efforts to preserve type-in listings from old magazine scans and decided to do a few myself. They've finally been uploaded today (they had a big backlog!), so let me do a quick introduction of some of the games I've discovered on this journey.
(Keep in mind that all of these were made for the Japanese version of SC-3000 BASIC, and that some use Japanese characters that don't show up on European systems.) BASIC Level III: January 1984: Taraibune Wannai Isshuu RACE (HIROSHIMAN) /1.png) /2.png)
May 1984: Koibito o Mamore (M.Yamanobe) /1.png) /2.png)
December 1984: Yousai Bubble (Yoshitaka Hino) /1.png) /2.png)
February 1985: CAR TRAINER Jr. – Tamanori GAME (JR4WPM) (two in one!) /CAR%20TRAINER%20Jr.%20(1).png) /Tamanori%20GAME%20(1).png)
July 1985: Kojira (Shuuchou) /1.png) /2.png)
November 1985: LANCE WORLD (Mamoru Adachi) /1.png)
December 1985: BOUNCE (Shunji Nishikawa) /1.png) /2.png)
April 1988: SILENT VOICE (Kenji Oka) /2.png) /3.png)
BASIC Level II: February 1984: Puusuke RESCUE no Maki (Yoshitaka Hino) /1.png)
March 1985: EATER (Atsunori Fuku) /1.png) /2.png)
November 1985: Excite Race (KUBO) /1.png)
November 1988: Hikaru GENJI wo Yattsukero!! (Random Tamura) /1.png) /2.png)
Huge thanks to eientei for helping proofread my listings (plus doing CAR TRAINER Jr. – Tamanori GAME), and to Ozidual for uploading these to Gaming Alexandria! My personal favourites of this batch are Kojira, which is just as chilling to play as the movies are to watch, and BOUNCE, which has really solid gameplay that has sucked away a lot more of my time than expected. I hope you enjoy playing/analysing these as much as I did typing them in, and more are on the way! If you want more (and would like to contribute, perhaps), consider joining the Gaming Alexandria Discord where many efforts like this are happening. Ciao! |

As a bonus, I've also created a translated version of Kojira: "Codzilla"! You can load this the same way as the original, and the small phrases scattered throughout the game should show up fine on European systems. Enjoy!

I am very happy and impressed by this work, thanks so much!
There aren't too many Japanese basic games so this is quite cool. (I obtained a dump of a Japanese tape with Basic demos, would you be interested in helping sorting through it?) |

Thank you!
These are awesome! I do not know if this may help with your work, but here https://github.com/fabiodl/Homecomputers/tree/master/SC3000 I setup a repository which automatically converts basic listings to wav files on push using github actions. |

I would love to!
This would definitely be useful for what I do, although I'm not sure how to handle the non-standard characters in the SC-3000 character set. More pressingly, I'm not really sure how to get the scripts running and use them at a glance! |

| It is sufficient to fork the repository and then when you push (upload) a bas (or .basic) file in the sc3000 folder the script is run automatically on the GitHub server. For special characters you can use \xNN where NN is the hexadecimal value. If you want me to add something like \alien or some Unicode let me know | |

| I was looking at the two tranches of “retro computing” symbols added to Unicode in recent years and I suspect there’s still some SC-3000 characters missing - but it would be good if you can support the ones that are there. | |
