Masters of Magic on Playstation 1!

This exists, but it's only in Japanese:

I decided to do a speedrun of it last weekend for fun. It's Japanese name is Civizard - Majutsu no Keifu. Pretty faithful with improved graphics in some places. Very, very slow to play. Doesn't appear to have mouse support in my tests. The menus are 1 to 1 with the PC version, making it pretty easy to mess around with. Only light use of google translate was needed!

There's surprisingly little footage of it on the internet, and even less of it being beaten.

There's a PC-98 version as well, but I haven't been able to find a copy of it, legit or otherwise. Seems pretty close to the DOS version.

I've noticed this version, but never tried it myself. I added PS as a platform on this page if you'd like to add your run. Now the site thinks it's a default category, little bit annoying, this cannot be changed? I don't think it's necessary to make a separate category for PS at least atm, when there are no other runs. Good job figuring out those squiggle menus ;)

Yeah, I doubt there will be any interest in the PS1 version, considering the language barrier for western players, and there's very little interest in the game in general outside of western spaces.

I did this more just to show it exists and see how close it is in mechanics, so it can live untracked for now.

OK cool. I removed the PS platform for now. I can always add it later if requested. Yeah, probably not going to be a very popular port for running.
