Vroom! Vroom! Game Club!

The Portopia Serial Murder Case

Welcome to Vroom! Vroom! Game Club! This is a new monthly club where the Vroom Vroom Virtual Boy hosts play the games that have been backlogged for far too long. The first month's pick is a Famicom port of the Yuji Horii's seminal adventure/proto-JRPG. But my goodness, could there be a more depressing official english release. Certified Square Enix moment.
