'Gall Force: Eternal Story'

[X68000] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1988]

"Two advanced civilizations, the Paranoids (a race of alien humanoids) and the Solenoids (an all-female race) are waging a war that has gone on for centuries. When the Solenoid fleet leaves a battle to defend an experimentally terraformed world from the Paranoids, one damaged Solenoid ship, the Star Leaf, is separated from the fleet. Only seven women remain alive on that ship: Eluza, the captain, Rabby, the take charge character, Lufy, the brash pilot, Catty, the mysterious science officer, Pony, the pink-haired ditzy tech, Patty, a solid crew member, and Remy, the cute one. After narrowly escaping the battle, the crew of the Star Leaf decides to continue with their orders and rendezvous at planet Chaos to defend it. It turns out, however, that their ship is the subject of a Paranoid experiment. In the end, it is up to the remaining crew of the Star Leaf to defend the artificial paradise of Chaos from the Paranoid fleet and the plans of the Solenoid leaders." ~aniDB

The Forest Cabin

Mystic Formula

Micro Cabin’s PC Engine game Mystic Formula is one of those games that shows quite a bit of promise. It’s a run-and-gun that takes place in a cool world that’s sort of like a magic-filled anime version of the wild west. The character artwork, provided by animator Kunihiro Abe (many Gundam films), is bright and attractive, definitely very early 90s in style. And it’s a two-player overhead run-and-gun, a genre that’s pretty rare on the PC Engine. So it’s a shame that it flubs almost everything pretty badly.
