Albaria no Otome: Uruwashi no Seikishitachi

Albaria no Otome: Uruwashi no Seikishitachi

Sony Playstation - Released - October 8, 1998

In Albaria no Otome, you play one of the three girls who were summoned to the castle of the Queen of Albaria to study fighting and magical arts (you can name your heroine as you like, but the default name is Ashanty). As an additional reward - beside the graduation - you can try to impress and ultimately to win the heart of one of the five great knights of the kingdom. Your goal in the game is to make sure you become stronger and more charming than your two rivals, and to make a good impression on the Queen and the knights. You must plan a schedule for your studies in castle. You can choose which classes to visit and which not. Learning increases your abilities (for example, attending magic class will make your spells more powerful). Once in a while you'll have to help one of the knights to fight monsters. The battles take place on an isometric battle field, on which you can freely move your characters and attack or use spells when there are enemies in range. Your goal in battles is not only to win, but to make sure the heroine does some attacking instead of letting the powerful knights do the job.

Assault Suit Leynos 2

Assault Suit Leynos 2

Sega Saturn - Released - February 21, 1997

Japan-only sequel to Target Earth, Leynos 2 puts you in the cockpit of a giant mecha robot as you scroll and shoot your way through a series of 7 individual missions tied loosely together by a generic sci-fi plot. The game itself plays as a side-scrolling shooter set in different planets as well as outer space (where you can fly anywhere with your jump-jets). You have a variety of upgradeable weaponry which allow you to shoot anywhere on-screen as well as auto-lock individual enemies, and depending on how well you do on each stage you get a specific rating score that allows you to upgrade and customize your mech.

Assault Suits Valken

Assault Suits Valken

Sony Playstation 2 - Released - 2005

Upgraded remake of the original Juusou Kihei Valken (Assault Suits Valken) for the Super Famicom, released internationally as Cybernator.

The game starts with the same classic Level 0 30-second opening sequence followed by lots more side scrolling mech action.

Chou Aniki

Chou Aniki

NEC TurboGrafx-CD - Released - December 25, 1992

The odd world in this shooter made for quite the conversation piece in its day. Players control either Idaten or Benten, celestial warriors out to bring an end to the tyrannical rule of the emperor of Planet Builder, who holds muscular prowess to be the supreme virtue of the universe. Aided by able-bodied muscle-head options Adon and Samson, they must battle to defeat the emperors army across five stages. Use the buttons to fire away and lay into the Builder forces! Power up your character and options with protein from defeated enemies to have them "bulk up" with a yell, and take their macho battle to the next level!

Chou Aniki: Bakuretsu Rantou Hen

Chou Aniki: Bakuretsu Rantou Hen

Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Released - September 22, 1995

Botei has returned for the 11th Galaxy Bodybuilding Competition after his defeat to Idaten, Samson and Adon, and is aiming for victory to become the greatest bodybuilder in the Galaxy. Idaten must train his body and mind, to get chiseled, oiled and muscular to prove he is the true king of protein and the Galaxy's greatest body. The Chō Aniki series makes its debut on the SNES with all of its homo-erotic, pseudo-humorous, bizarre, sweaty bodybuilding charm, but with one major gameplay change. Instead of being another side-scrolling shooter, Bakuretsu Rantouden is actually a one-on-one 2D fighter a la Street Fighter in which the most recognizable characters from the Chō Aniki series fight each other for ultimate supremacy using special attacks and moves. An interesting feature is that the game honors its shooter roots, therefore instead of being restricted to walking backwards and forwards in the 2D plane and jumping around as in other fighting games, in this game all the characters can fly, meaning the fights actually occur in mid-air, allowing the players to dash all over the screen. Includes single player and 2-player vs modes.

Choujikuu Yousai Macross 2036

Choujikuu Yousai Macross 2036

NEC TurboGrafx-CD - Released - April 3, 1992

Choosing to move on with a new story rather than that of the Macross anime, the creators of Macross 2036 brought in the original character designer, Haruhiko Mikimoto, for this horizontal shoot 'em up. The game features extensive anime sequences between levels to recreate the feeling of the show, and these are well drawn although quite heavy in dialogue. The gameplay itself is nothing new - you have a primary weapon and optional secondary weapon that is extra powerful, and you have to mow down the Zentradi forces in your Valkyrie (which only gets to transform at specific points). Power-up pods increase your firepower a little each time, while hidden Minmay heads give extra lives.

Choujikuu Yousai Macross: Eien No Love Song

Choujikuu Yousai Macross: Eien No Love Song

NEC TurboGrafx-CD - December 4, 1992

A fairly straightforward strategy game that was similar to the Nectaris games on the platform. The story was based after the events in "Macross: Do You Remember Love", featuring original characters. The appeal of the game was largely the cinematics and the Macross license, since there were no shortage of generic turn based strategy games at the time.

Cybernator

Cybernator

Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Released - December 18, 1992

2065 AD. The nations of Earth have once again split into two major powers. The line dividing these new arch enemies reaches as far as the lunar frontier, where axis forces have constructed a moon base capable of launching monolithic intergalactic battle cruisers. To thwart this threat, a covert strike team consisting of the marines' elite Cybernator force has been mobilized. The Cybernator is a giant mechanical warrior controlled by a marine who sits in the command cockpit within the unit's chromium cranium. Nuclear Fission Thrusters allow the Cybernator to wreak total havoc while soaring from ground zero to the infinity of space. Your mission is to take command of the Cybernator and confront the most powerful enemy ever to explode onto the Super NES scene. You'll face an awesome display of graphic destruction and realistic carnage so intense you'll fell compelled to run and hide. The sound effects alone will make your guts shake as if they were in front of a cranked-up heavy metal concert speaker. But you must fight on, toughing it out through 7 war zones stretching from the moon, through the expanses of space, to the fringes of Earth's fragile atmosphere. Crush Axis Cybertroops. Find your way through a dark mountain maze with only your wits and a small light. And capture power-ups that you can allocate to the Cybernator's four different weapons systems. Until you accomplish your mission. Or have your nuts and bolts splattered from here to eternity.

Der Langrisser

Der Langrisser

Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Released - June 30, 1995

Der Langrisser is an enhanced version of Langrisser II. Beside slightly improved graphical quality and a significant reduction of difficulty level, the main difference in this version is the player's ability to make moral decisions for the protagonist, which will subsequently influence the events of the narrative. In the original version, Elwin was only able to fight on the side of the Descendants of Light. In this release, Elwin also starts on this path; but as the game progresses, the player will be able to choose whether he should stay on it or side with the antagonists, the Rayguard Empire. Later, Elwin will be able to betray the Empire (in case he has chosen to help it) and support the Demon Tribe. It is also possible for Elwin to fight on neither side, and create his own faction instead.

Elthlead

Elthlead

Microsoft MSX2 - Released - 1988

Elthlead is notable for being the first fantasy SLG game ever developed. While most SLG fans look back to Master of Monsters or Fire Emblem as the origin of the genre, these games were released in 1988 and 1990 respectively. The world of Elthlead also introduced the universe that would provide the framework for NCS' later Langrisser series.

Elthlead

Elthlead

NEC PC-8801 - Released - March 20, 1987

Bozel, the King of the East and the Dark Mage. He is a king who is fascinated by the power of the dark side, which has a powerful and overwhelming power. He is devoured by madness day by day, turning the whole world into darkness and reviving the unclean people deeper underground. Neighboring countries are all overrun, and their momentum never stops. Meanwhile, Sieghard, king of Elslead and magician of light, senses the evil power of darkness beyond the northern mountains. Realizing the urgency, he immediately forms a knight order. We cannot forgive darkness in the name of God. Sieghard's sword turns north. Elthlead is the first game in what is known as the Elthlead Trilogy, the other two games being Crest of Gaia and Guyframe. This game provided the basic building blocks for the world of Gaia which is seen not only in the Trilogy but also the later Langrisser series as well. Characters such as Sieghart and Boser ultimately derive from this series and several of the units from Langrisser are certainly influenced by this earlier game such as Grand Knights from Langrisser I and Grand Dinos from this game. Elthlead is also notable for being the first fantasy SLG game ever developed. While most SLG fans look back to Master of Monsters or Fire Emblem as the origin of the genre, these games were released in 1988 and 1990 respectively.

Gaia no Monshou

Gaia no Monshou

Sharp X1 - Released - 1987

Gaia no Monshou is a turn-based strategy game developed in Japan by NCS (Nippon Computer Systems), and published on several popular home computers as well as the PC Engine home console. It’s the direct predecessor to the Langrisser series (occasionally known as Warsong), which had as extensive a hand in defining the console SRPG genre as Nectaris and Fire Emblem. The player controls the army of the Land of Light, and has to repel the evil overlord Böser and his monsters. The player must build their army by spending points/cash earned in the previous battle to acquire new units before the next. In order to maximize the player's chances of victory, they have to defeat as many enemy units as possible without letting them escape while securing their own units' safety to have the most spending money for the following conflict. Points are awarded based on the strength of the defeated enemy, but points are lost if members of your army are defeated. Turns do not necessarily alternate between the player and the computer. Rather, the side which begins a new round is determined by a coin toss. It was originally released in 1987 for the NEC PC-8801 computer. The game also has a Construction Mode that allows the player to create their own scenarios with units not found in the main game. These range from sci-fi units to members of Masaya's development team. This game was never released outside of Japan.

Gaia no Monshou

Gaia no Monshou

NEC TurboGrafx-16 - Released - September 23, 1988

Gaia no Monshō (also known as the 'Crest of Gaia') is a fantasy round-based strategy game by NCS and conversion of a game originally released for the NEC PC-8801 in 1987. The Light and Dark forces are engaged in a fierce war and Böser, leader of the Dark Army, is now ready to capture the Rall Tower, source of the world's energy. Sieghart, leader of the Light army, is the only one who stands between the evil Böser and the complete decimation of the kingdom. Gaia no Monshō is a turn-based strategy game at heart - the player moves troops around a battlefield and attacks nearby enemy units. An Auto Battle mode is also available and gives the option to let the AI figure out of the player's next move. The game offers several play modes - the first one (Scenario Mode) gives the player the chance to jump straight into battle using predefined troops. The second (Construction Mode) allows him to build his own army using unit points. The last one (Campaign Mode) conveys story plot elements and starts in the siege town of Dirl, where king Sieghart battles the fierce Böser. This mode requires more complex strategy and the player must assemble his own troops using unit points and units lost in battle don't come back during the campaign. Unlike the other two modes, it offers a password system to save the player's progress through the game.

Langrisser II

Langrisser II

Sega Genesis - Released - August 26, 1994

Langrisser II is a sequel to Warsong (whose original title is Langrisser). The events of the game take place several years after those described in Warsong. Gone is the benevolent kingdom of Baltia, and a new power has risen - the Rayguard Empire, which has made a pact with the malevolent Lord Böser, whose intention is to find the most powerful evil sword in the land, the Alhazard. The main hero of the game, the knight Elwin, must help the Descendants of Light to retrieve the legendary holy sword Langrisser, the only artifact that is more powerful than Alhazard. Like its predecessor, this is a turn-based strategy game with RPG elements. The army is divided into soldier units and generals, who fight alone and who are usually stronger than a whole unit. Before the scenario begins, you must hire soldiers, buy weapons and items, etc. During the battle, if you come into contact with an enemy unit, an automatic battle sequence occurs. You can also cast healing spells on your units or offensive spells to hurt the enemy.

Sega Saturn - Released - October 18, 1996

This is a prequel to the two Langrisser games (the first one is known in the US as Warsong). The events of the third game occur thousand years before those described in the first "Langrisser".

The main character is the knight Diharuto, the ancestor of Leon (Elwin's rival in "Langrisser II"). He must defeat the evil Boser, who is bound to the evil sword Alhazzard. In Langrisser III, you don't control whole armies, but only their generals, whom you move around the battle field. Once two enemy generals meet each other, a 3D battle sequence occurs, during which the two armies fight; the outcome of the battle is decided only by the victory or defeat of the general. The game also features love simulation elements: depending on the main hero's responses to various female characters, you can raise their "love level".

The game is based on the anime movie of the same name. In 24th century, piracy is still an issue, but no more in seas and oceans, sailing ordinary ships - the pirates are in space! The most dangerous pirate crew is the one of Sol Bianca - April, Janny, May, June, and Feb. No, those are not names of months, but five beautiful ladies, who can handle some high-tech weaponry and who think only about treasure. But the five lovely pirates are not evil - whenever some tyrant threatens a planet, they are there to help. The gameplay of Sol Bianca is that of a traditional Japanese-style RPG. The player controls the five girls as a party, each one having individual statistics. The party of heroines visits planets, travels on the world map, and engages randomly appearing enemies in first-person perspective, turn-based combat.
