Subspace Brief Facts – Psychic Killer Taromarou!

May 6, 2018April 8, 2020Steve W0

Psychic Killer Taromarou is one of the rarest and most expensive games out there. Nobody should pay for it – but if you can find a way to *cough* acquire it *cough* it’s worth a look. It has the kind of bizarre late ’90s charm that only the Saturn could bring.

This one was a doozy! Deep Fear is one I’ve been meaning to play for a while, so I figured it would make a great installment for the 10th Brief Facts! As you’ll be able to tell from the video, I played through the Japanese version of Deep Fear. While all the text is in […]
