Those aren't credits that roll after Walker Texas Ranger. It is actually a list of fatalities that occurred during the making of the episode.
Xak III: The Eternal Recurrence
Details
The Xak III Project had its own dedicated site still available here which is likely what you're familiar with
if you've known about this project. It was my first entry into the fan translation
scene and I was very proud of that. Really though, I'm a tad disappointed there
wasn't more of an uproar for what is a fine action RPG game such as this... It
does have a good story, characters, graphics and action, frankly... Come on people,
what are you waiting for...? Perhaps though, my sentiment here is just biased
promotion for another average RPG of that era just cause of the investment I put
in with choosing this project. Oh well.

Overview
Xak III is a fine Action RPG for its time and is probably one of the more
better RPGs released for the PC-Engine/Turbo Duo. It's similar in style to Ys
Book I & II, so Ys fans will find it very enjoyable.
The story begins with Ratok, a descendant of the Duel bloodline, receiving a
distress message from Farland Castle... For the longest time, the world has been
split into three, fairy, demon, and human, mainly for the purposes of having the
demons sealed off... Yet somehow, the demons have found a way to enter the human
world to launch an invasion. One by one, the human world's kingdoms fall to an
unforgiving reign of terror. Ratok is informed of the situation by a dying man's
last breath after Farland Kingdom fell, its king slaughtered mercilessly. Thus begins
Ratok's journey to prevent the demons from realizing their dreams of conquest...
Journey with Ratok, as he quests with his legendary Xak Sword to repel the
demon invasion, make plenty of interesting and humorous allies/friends along the
way, and discover his true identity as well as that of his father's (whose gone
missing for quite some time)... The storyline is intricate and a little bit above
average from most RPGs of that time period I would say... Graphics are top notch,
with plenty of cinemas, and even fairly gory/bloody details... No censorship here,
that's for sure. Decapitation scenes a-plenty. The music is pretty well composed
as well... Anyhow, don't waste time reading this, patch'n'play!!!

SkyWelse's Xak Series Tribute
- SkyWelse is probably the biggest Xak fan on the planet as far as I can tell.
You'll find a lot of intricate story details and other material concerning the
series as a whole here.
A future ideal Win32 Xak III patcher/extractor will have a screen before patching/extracting
to let you choose which font you like best! Here's a working concept. Click on the combo
box to take a look! I like the Lufia font best.
WHY would @XSEEDGames insult me by calling me "Hitler" when I would NEVER call them "Stalinists?" Oh well, I try so hard to be their friend - and maybe someday that will happen! twitter.com/realDona
Just got blocked by @XSEEDGames on Twitter a second ago.. I just wanted to express glee to the jerks for having kept their divisive, poisonous, criminal hands off of the new Ys VIII title & Gurumin, well, they had no choice, NISA poached everything out from under them! Live by the sword, perish by it... It took another ruthless ugly competitor to bring them to justice by taking the Ys series away, that sweet Falcom partnership, which they NEVER deserved!
Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller called me a "f@gg0t" on Reddit by proxy with an animated meme! In a recent exchange, she spammed me with this: https://imgur.com/wA Who is Kirsten ? She did work for X.X.XSEED on Ys Celceta and is credited in the Special Thanks section... Don't they get more embarrassing the more you learn ? In the aftermath of the terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub where 50 people were executed, does dropping "f@gg0t" still fly in so a nonchalant fashion ? Source Link.
Is XSEED [Lame] "Games" waging a "war on women," specifically "little women" ? Do they pander to animated ped0philia-loving perverts ? Man, these headlines write themselves! Hah! Attaboy Tom, thanks for the lulz at least in the midst of all your criminality!
It's been 11 years since I managed a new PC Engine project, but I have indeed returned to the retro console platform I first started the ole fan translation gig with! Finally took the time to mention it here, >> Emerald Dragon <<.
1) Kinda funny, but Ken Berry, Director of Publishing of XSEED Games, did a Facebook block on me some time back... Heh-heh. Guess I should feel honored! That's in addition to Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz of course after I sent him a PM. 2) OK, REALLY LOLOLOL FUNNY, X.X.XSEED Games is under fire by HuffingtonPuffington for what "may be one of the most despicable video games of all time!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Lipschultz is on the Comments section defending his two-bit, perv, criminal cheat of a company against the author of the blog article to boot, so is even the X.X.XSEED Cock-Flasher, it's a full-on freakshow! More of my thoughts here! Oh lordy, the delicious irony and glee here, I can't contain expressing it!
