I picked this game up the other day after reading some very favorable things about it... it does indeed seem like quite the RPG. It came in a double disc case, but there was only one disc. The guy at the store (I live in Japan, so it's not all that unusual that a used game store had this) assured me that there was only one disc when I asked... but I want to make sure. Does anyone else have this game? Is it indeed only one disc? Thanks for the help Very Happy

Emerald Dragon has only one disc.

The double CD cases were sometimes used because of the size of the supplementary materials included with the games: thick instruction manuals, maps, comics and - very rarely - bonus CDs (karaoke, dramas...).

Thanks a bunch for the info. I can now play the game without worrying about a "Please insert disc 2" message coming up after like 30 hours Mr. Green

Yeah, I recall having a few other games that somewhat inexplicably came in a double disc case, like Beyond Shadowgate... which came with a not-very-impressive mini-poster if I recall correctly.

Next on my classic RPG list: the Tengai Makyou games. RPGs: the best Japanese study aid ever Very Happy

Thanks again!

If you're ever wondering if a particular PCE game has two or more discs, all you need to remember is one simple rule-

there aren't any multi-disc games for PCE.

The closest is Yuna(2?) which just has some HuVideo slapped on a bonus disc or the VHS tape that came with 3x3 Eyes(not required to play the game) Brick wall

Also, Princess Maker 1 came with a bonus audio disk which was physically smaller in size than the game disk.
It's worth picking up both this and the sequel (even if you're not into simulation-type games) since they both have some amazing artwork and are very involving.

Does anyone know whether or not 3 x 3 Eyes for Mega CD is a multi disc game?

I just opened mine today and found two identical discs.

I'm hoping I just have a double of a single disc game and not of a first disc.
