Run=Dim: Return To Earth [ランディム] Game Sample - WonderSwan Color
R=DRTE is a strange mecha game/anime series. This WonderSwan game came with some cheap toy. There is a game on the Dreamcast as well as the PS2. It's one of the few shooters for the WonderSwan handheld and it's generally crap. Its only plus is that it's one of the rarer WS/WSC titles. Still, just because it's one of the few shooters, that doesn't mean it HAS to be good. You get a very limited assortment of power-ups (only two different weapons and one bomb)...and both pilots seem to fight the same, unless I'm doing something wrong. The music is absolute garbage; coming from good WS VGM such as some of the tunes in Star Hearts, Riviera, Blue Wing Blitz, Makai Toushi SaGa...dozens of other games. The sound effects are equally crap. I don't really like anything about this game...maybe you will, maybe you won't.
The general story is this:
In the year 2050 A.D, approximately 1/10th of Japan is now under water due to the global warming effect. The city of Tokyo was no exception. The economy of Japan is crippled from this disaster and the government is willing for anything to help revive the country. As a result, the Japanese government forms "JESAS" (ジーザス...can also translate into Jesus), a military foundation that has evil intentions of controlling Japan's future. JESAS handles the dumping of nuclear wastes into outer space. To insure their protection from other countries, JESAS has developed "R.B." Robotic Weaponry, which is controlled by pilots with "A.I. (Accurate Intuition)". On the opposite side of the law is the "Green Frontier", a united protection agency that was formed by countries sharing the same beliefs, to save the Earth. Featuring JESAS pilots Kanna and Kazuto and Green Frontier's Doota Kang and Mira Yu, these four youngsters will decide the fate of the Earth through love, friendship and the passion for their duty.
You control Kazuto Moriguchi (森口和人/Brown haired boy) and Kanna Asou (麻生かんな/The girl) in this game...not sure if you can use the other two people mentioned. Enjoy.
