It was assumed the game was lost due to the fact that games were downloaded to the machine instead of getting a physical release but the game’s original planner “FUINARLE” has discovered not just the original design documents for the game, but also a backup copy which runs on original hardware.
The game is thus preserved and no longer lost, but now the question is if the game will ever get a wide release on modern systems so the greater audience can play it.
Crescent Tale is one of the few Taito X-55 exclusive games, which was thought lost, but the original designer dug it up and was able to get it to boot https://t.co/Z6MVfEHKSb
