The Enthusiast who Came from a Cold Country
The Last Two Have Finally Appeared!
The Ultimate List Ends Here!!
For some reason, we had all of a sudden printed 300 copies of the Pikachu books for the ’97 Winter Comic Market, and we were filled with anxiety about what we would do with any remaining unsold ones, when a man appeared before this council, who was selling books with a brute force, almost like a pimp. The man, dressed in a military uniform similar to that of Stapa Saito or Space Calvary’s Commander Saito from “Farewell Yamato,” gently removed a virtual boy item from his backpack and held it before our very eyes.
“You said that you had covered all the software. Well, look at this!”
“Is… is that…?!” Really, despite the fact that it had been reviewed by Famitsu, there was no one who had seen the real thing. “But it doesn’t exist!”
“Wrong, there was confirmatory information at the end, claiming it had been witnessed once in Hokkaido!”
It could not be “SD Gundam Dimension War,” the software of dreams that had been talked about almost as if it were a UFO or Tsuchinoko or the like! In order to express his gratitude to this council, which claimed the theory of “non-existence” at the last Comic Market, he said that he took the trouble to bring it to the venue! Oh, how obsessive an enthusiast’s tenacity must be! (Mr. U., thank you very much for the information.) And so, with the inclusion of the last overseas software, “Waterworld,” which we could not introduce in the first edition, the final two clinchers have been added, like the emotional end to a drama, and this book is now complete! (Just a bit of deep emotion.) By the way, it seems you really did find it in Hokkaido. Why wasn’t there such a thing in Kushiro?
21. SD Gundam Dimension War
Though I got some information, I did not write a review because I have not gotten the real thing. So frustrating! If you know someone who has any available, please contact me at okano@yk.rim.or.jp. I will buy one for 10000 yen… yes, that’s correct.
Personal Rating: ???
I DON’T HAVE ONE!
The following is overseas-edition software. There was also some rather hot stuff in the drama until I got this. I can’t introduce it all due to the amount of page space, but I’ll mention the suspicious-looking foreigner, my second Vectrex, four copies of “Mansion of Insmouse” purchased by hand for barter, dollar bills hidden in a shoe box….
22. Waterworld
As if dealing a finishing blow to that major folly of a movie, starring Kevin Costner, aka “future middle-aged Kevin,” this one stands out from numerous software by offering a single piece of music and screen design. The game content resembles a 3D River Patrol, but without having even a fraction of the amount of different scenes.

ついに登場、最後の2本!
究極リストここに完結!!
なぜかいきなりピカチュウの本を300部も刷ってしまい、売れ残ったらどうしようと
不安でいっぱいだった97冬コミ。まるでポン引きのような強引な客引きで本を売りつけている
当評議会の前に現れた一人の男。「さらばヤマト」の空間騎兵隊隊長斎藤とスタパ斉藤を
足して4をかけたような軍服姿その男は、おもむろに背嚢からバーチャルボーイを取り出し、
筆者に突きつけるのだった。「全ソフトを網羅したと言ったな。これを見ろ!」
「こ、これは!?」
そう、これこそファミ通でレビューされたにも関わらず、実物を見たものはなく「実在しない!」
「いや、北海道でー度目撃されたという末確認情報が!」などとほとんどUFOかツチノコのように
語られていた幻のソフト、「SDガンダム ディメンションウォー」ではないか! 前回のコミケ
にて「実在しない」説を主張していた当評議会を礼すため、わざわざ会場まで持ってきたと
言うのだ! お、おそるべし! マニアの執念。(Uさん、資料どうもありがとうございました。)
というわけで、初版で紹介できなかった最後の海外ソフト「water world」も加えたトドメの2本
さながらドラマのような感動的なオチがついて、これでこの本も完壁だ! (ちょっと感動)
ところで本当に北海道で見つけたらしいけど、何で釧路にこんなモノがあったわけ?
21. SDガンダム ディメンションウォー
●資料はもらったけど実物を入手したわけじゃない
のでレビューは書きません。ああくやしい。きゅー
もし持ってる人がいたらokano@yk.rim.or.jpまで
ご連絡ください。10000円で買い取るぜええ。
独断評価 ???
持ってない!
こっちが海外版幻ソフト。これを手にするまでのドラマにもなかなか熱いモノがあった。
紙数の都合で紹介できないけど、変なガイジンとの筆談、二台目の光速船、バーター用に
手分けして購入した4本の「インスマウスの魔」、靴箱に隠して送ったドル札・・・・
22. WATER WORLD
●ケビン・コスナー主演の大コケ映画、別名
「未来中年ケビン」に止めを刺すかのような一品
音楽と画面処理は数あるソフトの中でも群を抜くが
3Dリバーパトロールみたいなゲーム内容の
ショボさ加減も半端じゃない。
独断評価 30.5
