(Videogame for NEC Turbo Duo) - 1993

Game:
Graphic:: (10/10 - GREAT ! Absolutely!)
Story: (8/10 - Well, the end is a BIT strange...)
How nice to play?: (6/10 - You haven't to do anything special...)
How long will I play with it?: (2/10 - ...maybe you'll like to play it once a year, or so...)

Quiz (bonus on CD)
Graphic:: (10/10 - GREAT ! Absolutely!!)
Story: (10/10 - ABSOLUTELY FUNNY !!!!!!)
Is it nice to play?: (9/10-if you can't speak Japanese, there's a way to cheat)
How long will I play with it?: (10/10 - I played with it dozen of times!!)

Unfortunately, here you won't find the game for download (it's really big: 300 Mb!). Clicking here anyway you'll find a huge (145k) but beautiful image of its front and back cover.

Comments: Great "game" based on Nadia'story...but just till the Karmadec Trench battle. In fact, later, the story is developed in a TOTALLY different way: new characters appear, "old" characters disappear, Red Noah is not the same of the series, etc etc...It's more a "digital comic" than a "game" anyway. I mean, the story goes on through a linear plot and you (Jean) have to choose just what to do, where to go first, what to say etc etc

Great things: Great graphics, TOTALLY DUBBED by the original voices...and, then, how to forget that wonderful bonus game which is 200 times worth than the main game itself?? It's a quiz (in Japanese but...mmm...you can cheat JJ) introduced by Jean & Nadia, Electra & Nemo, Marie/King & Gargoyle and Grandis & Co.

Believe me: it's SO FUNNY !

Characters are animated in the funniest way, there are dozens of espressions ! Nadia hurts Jean, Grandis starts thinking to Nemo with lots of little red hearts flying around her, Marie plays with King etc etc etc.

Also, this quiz is great for two reasons:
a) there are a lot of questions about the series, with 2 (or more) images for each of them. If you choose the right answer (which is not impossible, supposing there are 3 possible choices and you can load a saved game...) they'll start talking more about that particular subject.
b) Jean & Nadia (and the others too...but they're the best!) comment parts of the story as far as the images are shown. For example, once an image of naked Electra appears and Jean keep watching at her for about 30 seconds, while Nadia hurts, screams and look at him menacing! JJJ

Enjoy the screenshots (isn't King SO funny? JJ)

Bad things: Just about the "main" game which I thought was more playable...Oh, obviously, the fact it's in Japanese only...
