Subject: Anime video games list (regular posting)
Date: 30 Mar 1996 16:00:29 -0500


Information I really need, aside from general updates:

Valis anime.  I want to know *more*.  I want a copy, even. :-)
Information on Speed Racer/Power Rangers game Japanese versions.
Information on that "Escape from Cyber City" game for CD-I.  (Like, who makes
  it, and does it exist in Japan?)
Info on the arcade Gundam and Dragonball games.
Which games started out as anime/manga, and which as games.  (I don't know a
  lot of these.  Oh, if it started as something else, like Lodoss, I count it
  in the main section.)  And specifically, which was Madara?
Details on Yuu Yuu Hakusho games (name, company, cost).
What characters those SD Banpresto games listed under "miscellaneous" use.
I heard of a "Yo-yo Battle" game which sounded like a Sukeban Deka game.  Does
  this game exist and what is it?


      Anime-related Video Games [Last modified 3/15/96, posted 3/15/96]

This regular post lists the known games based on anime, manga, and sentai
(Japanese live-action superhero team) and related shows. If both the game and
show are based on something else, I still count it; for instance, Lodoss War
started as RPG-based novels.

Anything which started as a game and was made into anime or manga later, I list
separately at the end.  Japanese videogame magazines often serialize game-
based manga, which later gets published in collections like other manga; I
have no real way to find out what most of these are.  The list lists the ones
I know of, but they are only a fraction of what's out there.

I'm not listing computer games, even when a game was on a computer before
it was on a game machine.  Please don't write to me about the omission.

DISCLAIMER:  Because this list relies heavily on non-primary sources, I can't
vouch for their complete accuracy.  Use this as a guide only.  Thanks!  Also,
a lot of the N/As are guesses--it's hard to prove something _doesn't_ exist.

...   *Compatibility*

The compatibility notes listed below mean the following:
    Compatible: no compatibility problem.
    Cosmetic: the games are compatible if you remove non-functional plastic
parts from your machine.  If you want to avoid voiding your warranty, you can
buy "adapters" that just extend the cartridge slot.
    Switch: Requires a hardware modification to switch your machine between
different country versions.  Games won't run if your machine is the "wrong"
version.  (Sometimes an adaptor exists that can be used instead of this
switch.)
    Language: Requires a hardware modification to switch between different
country versions, but games won't necessarily refuse to run if you have the
"wrong" machine.  (Usually, they switch Japanese/English languages if they
do anything unusual at all.)  Of course, they _can_ refuse to run; some
Genesis/MD games do (I list this information below where I know it), but others
don't and games for other machines don't.  (Sometimes an adaptor exists that
can be used instead of this switch.)
    The method of building a language switch for the Game Gear or Sega Master
System is unknown.
    Adaptor: self-explanatory.

* Sometimes you can play incompatible Playstation games by booting with a
game from the proper country and switching CDs afterwards, if you make the
machine think the drive is still closed.  This often causes problems with the
music, and only works on early machines.  You can replace the ROM in your
machine to be able to play any game; good luck finding a place to do this for
you.

...     *The Games*

The game cartridges are listed in the following format:

SHOW
.Game system, "Japanese Title", "American title" (if any), 
.ordering information (Company, order number), price in yen
.(game type)
.comments

"Digital Comic": This type of game is almost unknown in the US (though I think
it did start here, with "Infocomics").  It's basically a semi-animated comic
book/anime hybrid where the player chooses the next step off of a menu.

"Adventure Game": Just about the same thing.  A full-motion-video (or
partial-motion-video) game with a lot of menu selection.

* Dragon Quest is the Japanese name, Dragon Warrior the US name.  13 episodes
of this were dubbed and broadcast briefly in the USA.

** Yes, the Robert Woodhead who worked on Wizardry runs AnimEigo, and no, he
can't bring the anime to America without the permission of the US co-owners,
which he doesn't have.  (Hey, I thought it was a creative idea when _I_ asked
it too, but by now it's been asked dozens of times.)

*** The manga for these games was translated, colored, and serialized in
Gamepro magazine for December 1990-November 1991.  I have no idea what the
original titles of these games or manga were.

**** There is an animated SF2 movie, and a prequel TV series.  There are two
SF2 manga, one translated from Chinese and one Japanese original.  The
Japanese one was released in the USA.  (Neither has any connection to the ear-
lier Malibu comic, or to the live-action American movie.)  The animation has
been released in the US, but with changed music, and even the supposedly uncut
one containing a few cuts.

*5 Released by AD Vision in the US (Yuna is not out yet).  Samurai Shodown is
dubbed, the others subbed; Classmates is renamed End of Summer.

*6 For April Fools Day 1993 I did a fake "Valis OAV Synopsis".  I later re-
ceived three reports of real Valis anime, one of a brief clip at the end of
something else, another of a 1987 ad for it, and finally a post suggesting
that it did exist, but was a limited edition available only through a contest.
I have _no_ idea about it.  (And if anyone has a copy of it, I'd really like
to get one.)

*7 Released dubbed in the US by Viz.

*8 Two OAVs, described in Animag #11.

*9 Serialized in the US in Nintendo Power.
