While discussing another game (http://nfg.2y.net/grafx/index.php?op=2&path=stufftoflog&file=pcbaroque.jpg) by the same company (http://www.sting.co.jp/), I was looking for some screenshots and checked their site for other fun things. Oh, hey, they did Last Battalion, a port (prequel or sequel I'm not sure) of the PC Engine game Override for the X68000. Inexplicably renamed Last Battalion, it seems to be the same game. But, you know, better 'cause it runs on 5.25" floppies. Or something. Anyway, here:
They have a demo for download (http://www.sting.co.jp/play/battalion/index.htm) (first link on that page), only the first level, but it's a step closer to finding this elusive game and making it my own.
