A while ago someone mentioned the LoGH game for SFC. Unfortunately I
don't know too much about it although I have actually seen the package of
the game. It seems to be a strategic game(what else can it be?).

For those of you who don't have a SFC(Japanese SNES) like me,
you can always try the DOS ports of the LoGH games from the 9801 computers.
You have to know Chinese to play those however. As far as I can tell,
there are two of them: LoGH III SP and LoGH IV. The best of course is to
have one of those 9801, Martys or FM Towns computers, which lets you play
both of these and their predecessors. Some knowledge of Japanese is
required of course. I know little of the various computer platforms in
Japan. The availability of the LoGH games on them may not be entirely
accurate. BTW, is LoGH V out in Japan?

I may as well talk a little bit about the Chinese DOS LoGH games I have,
in case someone is interested. Both LoGH III SP and LoGH IV don't need
the presence of a Chinese system or Chinese fonts. The LoGH IV is a
CD-ROM game which surprisingly doesn't let me listen to the CD BGMs in
the game while it actually contains digital music tracks. I believe both
of them are quite faithful to the novel/anime, especially the latter. But
you can always have your Yang to work for the Empire if you wish. :)

The main reason I post is to let you know the release of a LoGH game for
the Sega Saturn at the end of November(so I heard elsewhere). I don't
know anything more about it and I hope some of you do.

products of LoGH. Are you guys just drained after obtaining the LD sets
:) , or there aren't just that many to begin with?
