A janky turn-based RPG that I played for quite some time in elementary school. I actually skipped school to play it once, my parents were so mad. The game kept crashing on one of the later levels, and my tech-illiterate 8-yo self never figured out that I needed to download a patch. I know better now, but can't find a working copy of the game. Would be lovely to finally be able to finish the story.

It may be flawed, but I love this game. As a kid I played the demo again and again. As an adult I got it to work on a modern machine and regret no second I spend getting it to run and playing it. It is a slightly janky turn based RPG, that has its very own charm and at least as a time capsule it is absolutly worth it.
Not just this game, but the whole lineup of KRGSoft role playing games are important targets for preservation. These obscure Korean games are at a real risk of becoming lost media.

Foxy 2
Foxy 2Foxy 2 is a turn-based strategy game. The gameplay is similar to its predecessor; it is confined to large-scale strategic battles, in which the player commands different types of units, in an attempt to reach the enemy base, protect his own, and exterminate all enemy units. Like in the first game, the units have distinct strengths and weaknesses, as well as attack range. The game includes even more various types of units, including the traditional infantry, rocket launchers (mobile and stationary), different kinds of tanks, planes, helicopters, etc. The plot is more elaborate than in the first game, and the cut-scenes between the battles typically include more plot-related information. Scenes with nudity and mild sexual content are kept intact.
