Title: Indie games importers
Post by: KDR_11k on November 18, 2006, 04:16:08 AM
Because this info isn't easy to find (and because I like japanese indie games...):
If you want to import "dojin" (japanese indie) games that are sold in stores you can get them through Himeya or Palet. I know I was glad when I saw a link to Palet in a Slashdot discussion, Himeya insists on using EMS for shipping which is expensive as mad (20$ for one game) which is quite bad for games that cost less than 20$ a piece. No idea how reliable those are but the big importers don't stock dojin games (possibly because they are PC games and... um... Just look into Palet's PC game section). I think Himeya has a wider selection but Palet takes requests so you can get pretty much anything from them (got them to stock that Bunny Must Die game I listed int he "list your games" thread).
So if you want your copy of Gyousatsu Spirits you know where to look now.

Few dojin games are difficult to figure out. Sure, I'd recommend against playing RPGs or "adventures" but most are action games of different kinds and with those you only need to know how to mash fire :P.
