As I've been playing just Pure Pool and Sega Picross on my Switch this past weekend as I just don't have it in me to play anything too involved right now, yesterday evening I thought, why not pop in that Side Pocket 2 game on Saturn you bought 9 years ago for €12 and never ended up playing?
This one never released in Europe, so I didn't even know it existed for a long time since it wasn't really a genre I was looking into back in the day.

To my surprise, it has a full on story mode with lots of glorious 90's FMV.
Best of all, quite a few actors seem to be Italian-American, but they are all dubbed in Japanese! 😄
