I have reason to believe that the plot details (Axis IV and an angry forgotten space colony that returns for revenge)are all wrong. Did you get them from Syffer Bidan's review?:<br />http://www.gamefaqs.com/genesis/586520-target-earth/reviews/review-55157<br /><br />It sounds like it. I don't know where Syffer gets his information but I most recently got my friend (who is a native Japanese speaker) to translate Assault Suits Leynos for me and there is certainly nothing about an Axis IV or a colony that attacks Earth once they get closer on their orbit.<br /><br />In fact, the plot of Assault Suits Leynos has very much the same plot as Target Earth (an abandoned space expedition that returns for revenge) with some minor differences.. Besides what you mentioned (censorship, downplayed romance), instead of being cyborgs like in Target Earth, the space expedition in Assault Suits Leynos is made up of cloned humans. After being abandoned in space they cloned themselves to survive. That was how they had such huge numbers. <br /><br />Anyway, I can go on and on but I just needed to bring all this to your attention so that misconceptions about the game's storyline don't keep spreading around. Should you want to, I don't mind going into this in more detail...Lancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001561405921556571.post-23191291746053970392011-04-22T21:37:45.231-04:002011-04-22T21:37:45.231-04:00Ahh..

This is my all-time favorite game for any system. <br /><br />Thanks for this very informative review that also goes into the differences between it and Assault Suit Leynos. I've learned a couple new things!<br /><br />I don't agree with your assessment of the box art, however. I absolutely love the addition of cyborgs fighting and ships buzzing in the background because it evokes a grand feeling of a major space battle, as in the game itself. In comparison, in spite of its anime influences, the original cover art looks bland and derivative and does a poorer job of capturing the excitement of the game.<br />Nevertheless, I concede that the Assault Suit Leynos game manual was the better one.<br /><br />The music, "serviceable?" I thought the game had one of the catchiest soundtracks in the entire 16 bit generation. I never tire of the music in Stages 1, 3, 5, and 7...<br /><br />Aside from those two differences in taste, the game certainly was unbelievably fun, challenging, had great parallax effects, and a wonderfully fleshed out storyline for its genre.Lancerhttp://www.youtube.com/user/lancerCNCS1?feature=mhumnoreply@blogger.com
