			Anime-related Video Games
			-------------------------
			       92.11.12

    *** Thanks to Ken Arromdee for helping with this release! ***

This article lists the Anime (and manga) related video games that are
available. Most are available only in Japan.  Games upon which anime
was based, (ex. Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior) will not be listed.
This listing is broken into 3 parts.  First, a small discussion of the
various systems and compatability, secondly, a listing of the games
that are available, and lastly, a list of sources where these may be
purchased. Games based on American animation (and comics) are listed
seperately at the end.

    Please send all additions/corrections/comments to:

Internet: pearl@remus.rutgers.edu     or   Steve Pearl
GEnie:  S.PEARL6   			   359 Lloyd Rd
CI$: >internet:pearl@remus.rutgers.edu	   Aberdeen, NJ 07747-1826


If you think a game may be out of print, let me know.  While it
still may be possible to buy it at some stores, it will save some
frustrations when trying to special order it.

Thanks to all those that contributed to the list either knowingly or
unknowingly. :-)  Your help is greatly appreciated!

DISCLAIMER:  Because I "collected" many of these listings and did not
write them, I cannot vouch for their complete accuracy.  Use this as a
guide only.  Thanks! 


Send me your sources!  Where do you buy your games?  I want to "beef
up" the sources section.

			    *The Systems*

  Since anime is so popular in Japan, there are many anime related
video games available there.  Unfortunately, the systems that are sold
in America often differ from their Japanese counterparts leading to
many headaches and much hair rending when trying to get games made for
one system to them to run on the "equivalent" system.
The following chart lists the Japanese and American Video Game systems
as well as any compatibility problems that may exist when trying to
play Japanese games on the equivalent American system. 

     Japanese/American System Equivalent and Compatibility Chart

Japanese 	American		Compatibility Notes
--------	--------		-------------------

Gameboy		Gameboy			Yes

Famicom		NES			No, but adapters are available
					(from Hong Kong, etc) that
					work most of the time.

Famicom 	N/A			The Disk system is not
Disk System				available in the U.S.

Super Famicom	Super NES		Yes, but the cartridge cases may
					need to be filed or the cover
					removed to fit the cartridge.
					Adapters are also available.  

NEC PC-Engine	TG16    		CD-Rom games are compatible,
(CoreGrafx)				regular cartridges are not.
					Adapters are also available.

			     *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
	comments

In most cases, I am not sure if the Japanese title has the same exact
title as the show it was based on. In those cases, I list the game
title as the show title with a question mark in parenthesis
immediately after it. ie, Ranma 1/2(?)

	the stake.  Gratan shows up, Nadia, Jean, Mary flee into caves, Mary
	is poisoned.  They find Nautilus in concealed docking bay and board it
	to escape Grandis trio.  Nautilus is boarded by Neo-Atlantis people,
	Nadia is captured.  Jean joins boarding party to inflitrate underwater
	fortress.  Party is killed by guard robot. Jean rescues Nadia and
	sabotages fortress.  They are rescued in turn by the Grandis trio in

	searching Atlantis ruins.  He finds a necklace, gives it to Nadia.
	They find an ancient floating (but submerged) ruin, and explore.  Jean
	finds his father's journal there.  Gargoyle is also there, and Electra
	betrays them, allowing him to capture Jean and Nadia.  The fortress
	crashes into the ruin in a giant explosion.  Jean and Nadia are shown

	fortress, and held there.  The fortress delivers an ultimatum to
	france.  France refuses, Paris is destroyed.  Nadia's brother revolts

	is captured by the "Super Catch" but Jean succeeds in destroying it.
	Gargoyle recaptures Nadia.  Electra and Nemo show up.  They find
	Gargoyle, and all three are shot down.  Gargoyle removes his mask and
	is revealed to be XXX.  He shoots Nadia, but the Blue Water reflects
	the bullet and kills him instead.  The ship explodes, taking the
	Nautilus with it.  The blue water transports Nadia and Jean to the

MACROSS
	PC Engine CD/SCD, "Super Dimension Fortress Macross 2036", N/A
	Masaya, Y7200
	(It's basically a shoot 'em up game but since it's on CD-ROM
	you can expect a lot of nifty graphics and animation.  (By the
	way, it's supposed to work on the old CD-ROM system as well as
	the Super CD-ROM system but I think you will see more
	animation/graphics if you have the Super CD-ROM system.) 
	The story is completely original and takes place 20 years
	after the Macross TV series.  For those of you who haven't
	seen the Macross TV series, the opening sequence will
	introduce you to the Macross storyline (in tune with one of
	Minmei's songs :)  The main character is Komiria Maria Jenus,
	the daughter of Earth's genius  pilot Max Sterling and
	Zentraedi ace pilot Miria. [ Eat your heart out, Carl! :P ]
	As in the TV series, the enemy in this game will be the
	Zentraedi. Also, you can expect songs to play a key role in
	the story. The character designs are by Haruhiko Mikimoto, of
	course. The mecha designs will be by the same staff who did
	the mecha designs for the anime.) --Dan Su

	(Fighting game)

	PC Engine CD, "Ranma 1/2 Action Game", N/A
	Masaya  NSCDD 0004, Y6800
	(The Ranma CD-ROM game is basically an arcade game with little
	animated shorts inbetween arcade sequences.  It follows the
	Ranma storyline starting from Jusenkyou.  At the last stage,
	Akane is kidnapped and you have to fight your way through
	Nekohanten (Shampoo's grandmother's restaurant) to rescue her.
	Defeating Shampoo's grandmother is easy but then you have to
	fight Shampoo's dad and he's tough!  This game is loads of fun
	and the BGM music is superb.  Btw, the password for the last
	stage is Genma-Tofu-Soun(light blue-green-grey). )

SILENT MOEBIUS
	PC-Engine SCD, "Silent Moebius", N/A
	[unreadable kanji] Media Office, Y???
	(It's an adventure game set in the sunk liner Titanic. You are
	the detective and you can choose 1 (or 2?) member in the AMP
	to team up with you. Different AMP members would have
	different abilities and characters, and supposedly this would
	lead to very different adventure with different AMP team
	member.  There seem to be a lot of dialogue in the game and
	the graphics are excellent.)

	Hudson Soft HCD 0011~0012, Y5800
	(The Urusei Yatsura CD-ROM game is a text-based adventure
	game.  If you can't read Japanese you won't get much out of
	this game.  On the other hand, if you can read Japanese, this is
	pretty fun (lots of that Urusei Yatsura humor :)  Actually,
	all the characters talk in this game so you don't really need
	to be able to read Japanese - you can get by if your listening
	comprehension is good enough.  Basically, Shinobu disappears
	and you, as Ataru, have to find out what happened to her. Also
	comes with a second CD of incidental music you can play on
	your stereo! )

			      *Sources*

Undoubtably, although it is the answer most people dread, the best way
to obtain these games is to either purchase them in Japan, or have a
friend pick them up in Japan for you.  (Used games are a very good
bargain in Japan!)  When they are brought over to America, most stores
horrendously overprice them.  However, if you have no way of getting
them directly from Japan, there are some places that I'm aware of that
sell Japanese video game cartridges.  I have not dealt with ANY of them, 
and am only listing them as a reference.  Please mail me any
experiences, good or bad, that you may've had with them so others can
benefit from your knowledge.  Thanks!

[A lot of people have complained about the Ultimate Game Club business
practices (like not sending merchandise for months and like saying: "Well, we
do not have this title now and we do not give refunds, but you can buy
something else from us."). Since even EGM is not taking their ads anymore, I
guess those guys are real crooks.
Those who complain about "Crooks Nippan" have never dealt with the
Ultimate Game Club. Compared to UGC, Books Nippan are fairness and honesty
personified.]
