There are anime-based games for the Genesis.  Alisia Dragoon, Last Battle
(censored Fist of the North Star), Mystic Defender (altered Kujaku-Oh).

The need to file the cartridge slot is really a non-issue.  It doesn't cost
you anything, after all.  If you do it, you can play Devil Hunter Yoko and
Alisia Dragoon.  There are other games, listed in the anime video games list
that Steve Pearl usually posts every month (though not recently).

The Sega system also comes with several games: Streets of Rage, Revenge of
Shinobi, Golden Axe, and Sherlock Holmes.

The TG-16 CD is $149, but that won't play super-CD games; you have to spend
extra for the 3.0 card.

Just remember that you can't play half those games without knowing Japanese....

For all those who are completely confused as to why that post
is there, welcome to the club.
That was intened as MAIL and not a POST.

I have no idea how it got there, and in case you still want to know, we were
discussing Galaxy Rangers, an american kidvid from 1986.

I have the WORST luck.

Well, what can I say....

That depends.

Are you talking Macross Zentraedi and Mospeada Invid (Inbit) or their
ROBOTECH analogues?  I don't know enough about the Inbit to answer the
first case, but in the second, it's already been done.

Overall, the Invid were slowly winning and taking back the Local
Group.  And after Zor sent off the SDF-1, the Invid stomped on the
Masters while the Zentraedi went to look for the missing ship.

Unlike what another poster said (basically that the Zentraedi would
kick anyone's ass), remember that it took the REF (who defeated the
Zentraedi) along with the Sentinels and the Zentraedi survivors
something like 6-8 years to defeat the forces of the Invid Regent.
This is according to the "McKinney" novels and jibes with the
framework exposited in Art 3.

Several years ago, I saw a Japanese anime called "Project A-ko".  This 
was on a 4th or 5th generation copy.  I was interested in getting a copy 
of it, but not in that state (as the picture quality was gawd-awful).  If 
anybody has a 1st or 2nd generation copy of it, please e-mail me.

While we're at it, is there any CD out there that's a collection

Probably the wierdest occurance of this was in the OAV "Sazan Ears",
where the main character has 3 ears.  And sure enough, his girlfriend
was carressing his ear with the Q-tip.  Funny thing though was that
her ears were drawn as slits instead of normal ears...

History of Youmex Volume II  Video Vocal Library
Futureland, TYCY-5252
2600Y

First of all , this is a great CD!!!  A collection of songs from a large
variety of Youmex titles.

The only bad part of the whole CD is the LOUSY cover art, you would think
they might have used some character sketches of some sort, but they just have
some blue, water like painting over it (some attempt at portraying visually
a flowing history, some stupid metaphysical description, or more likely they
didn't want to spend more money).

It doesn't detract any from all the great songs (for the most part) included
on this CD, including some from shows I had never seen or heard from.

1.	Fight! Iczer-1
2.	S.F.	(Opening theme of Prefectural Earth Defense Force High School)
3.	Ai City
4.	Konya wa Hurricane (BGC)
5.	Finally ...	(Black Magic M-66)
6.	?? Romancer	(Leina)
7.	Dancin with a Heartache	(Dragon's Heaven)
8.	Hot Dance in Cherry Moon	(Dominion)
9.	Roadbuster	(Riding Bean)
10.	?? no lonliness	(Project Zeorymer)
11.	??		(Yaiba)
12.	Fight! Otaking	(Otaku no Video)
13.	????		(Hayate)
14.	????		(????) <-- don't recognize that show


This CD helped me alot in that I was tempted to buy the full CDs of certain
shows of which I just liked a song or two.

Has anyone purchaed the first volume of the Mini History of Youmex, and 
would be able to give some track listings of what's on it as the ads in the
magazines don't go into overall details.
