One thing I had learned from the Yahoo group, was that the first Day always started in a Japanese House, with three floors. Start, Save, Load and Options.Above Start, there was a line of text, telling you what Day you were on. There was no "Press Start" screen, it just went straight to a screen with 4 or 5 options. I pressed the circle button, and the game went to the title screen. Different colored words bounced across the screen, spelling out "Linking the Sapient Dream" multiple times (Apparently this is what LSD stood for). The intro video started playing after that. There was no copyright screen, but they had removed it from several other games as well. The Playstation logo came up as usual, but with SCEI instead, as it was a Japanese game. So, I made an account, bought a JPN PSN card, and purchased the game, and after downloading and installing, I began playing it.
I remembered how much I had tried to play it, even browsing eBay a few times, in the vague hope that a cheap copy surfaced. Then, earlier this year, LSD was released on the Japanese Playstation Network. I didn't have a Playstation console, and my attention span was short, and I had long since moved on to other things, like Eversion, and Yume Nikki. We managed to successfully rip the game, but we have never managed to get it working on emulators, only the original hardware."īy this point, I had practically given up on it. I was one of members of the ripping group who released the LSD rip. I posted a question, asking if anyone had managed to get the game working on emulators, and a few days later, I received an answer. I learned that the game had a cult following, both here and in Japan, and I eventually found a small yahoo fan group, dedicated to the game. I tried posting questions on various gaming sites, but hardly anyone had heard of the game and even less had played it. I tried re-downloading the ISO multiple times, trying it from different websites, but every single one was the same. Unfortunately, the ISO was corrupted - or incorrectly ripped - as I couldn't get any further than the title screen and, when I did, all I saw was a mess of color and heard a strange fuzzing sound, like radio static. Naturally, I downloaded it, converted it, and started playing. Artwork by Dragonwarrior-kyna from DeviantARTĪ few years ago, while searching on /x/ for Paranormal or Creepy games, I came across an obscure Japanese Playstation game, called "LSD: Dream Emulator." Despite the game releasing in extremely limited numbers, many ROM sites had it available for download.
