Update on 'Greed Island'—the lost MMORPG : Finding lost media

Update on 'Greed Island'—the lost MMORPG

Okay folks, I have some interesting updates on the elusive 'Greed Island'. For those not in the know, 'Greed Island' is this supposedly lost MMORPG from the late '90s that was based on the anime 'Hunter X Hunter'. Rumour has it that only a handful of copies were made.

After months of deep diving, I've found evidence of its existence through a custom server response printout I found in an old web archive! However, it doesn't confirm 'Greed Island' ever got past alpha development.

The printout does reveal some game mechanics though. Apparently, players were to have some sort of physical constraint - a heart rate monitor, maybe? - that would affect in-game stamina. This is just speculation, of course. This case just got a lot more fascinating. Will keep ya'll posted.

That's an interesting piece of trivia to add to the 'Hunter X Hunter' lore. Heart-rate monitor feature seems plausible since 'Greed Island' in the anime functions in such unique ways. I'm super eager to learn more, keep us posted!

This discovery might give 'Greed Island' a place on lost media maps. Having a physical constraint affecting in-game stamina sounds too innovative to be true, but if it is, they were seriously pushing the boundaries! Keeping an eye out for more info on this one.

An actual printout server response for 'Greed Island'?! That's wild. If it is true, then the game could've been truly revolutionary. Thanks for hunting this down. I'd love to see that printout!

Just a custom server response printout, huh? That's some thin evidence. Could be anything, not necessarily 'Greed Island'. I'll believe it when I see some solid proof.

Wow, I'm a huge 'Hunter X Hunter' fan but I had no idea there was a supposed MMORPG. The idea of a heart rate monitor is so cool—totally fits with the vibe of the anime. Keep us updated!

Big fan of 'Hunter X Hunter' and MMORPGs here. I've heard of 'Greed Island' before but never gave it much thought. I'm really intrigued now. I can't believe they were planning such an ambitious mechanic in the '90s! Could've easily been ahead of its time!

Dude, good work! I love stumbling upon these lost media mysteries. That heart rate monitor idea sounds absolutely insane for a '90s game. It'd be so rad if they had somehow managed to implement something like that back then.
