Shinseiki Evangelion ~ Ayanami Ikusei Keikaku
DC: Evangelion: Ayanami Ikusei Keikaku [JPN]

Shop

 
   Taking place at the beginning of the Shinseiki Evangelion television series, Gendou Ikari hands you the responsibility of live-in teacher to Rei Ayanami. When you first meet her, she's pretty banged up with bandages all over and her arm's cradled by a sling. Similar to but not quite a blank slate, your young charge is recovering from injuries and it's up to you to help her heal mentally and physically. With a set of commands such as talk, visit town, and dress, you'll give her duties to perform and gradually win her confidence. Ayanami's day can consist of going to school, learning archery to improve her willpower, playing violin, or you can take her to the amusement park, among other venues. Each activity improves or diminishes one or more of her attributes. Along the way, you'll get to see Ayanami in various pieces of clothing. NCS was only able to import a deluxe version of the game which includes a clear DC mouse with the NERV logo on it, a mousepad, and a set of Ayanami pins.
 
Tokimeki Memorial 2 Video Clips
PS2: Tokimeki Memorial 2: Video Clips [JPN]

Shop

 

   Return to Hibikino, courtesy of Konami, and rejoin the TM2 girls for some mini-games and music videos. In the proper Tokimeki Memorial 2 game from back in the day, the character Sumire is the daughter of a man who owned a circus. You meet Sumire when her pet Deiji swipes your keys and she helps you retrieve them. The three mini-games in Video Clips take place at Sumire's circus and they consist of:

-
  • Ride on a lion (yes) and jump fiery hoops ala Circus Charlie
  • Juggle colored spheres while Deiji cheers you on
  • Walk on a tightrope whilst the clock ticks down 
   The video clips must be unlocked before you can view them but perform well at the circus and you'll be seeing animated music in no time. Recommended for fans of the Tokimeki 2 game but everyone else won't be missing anything if they pass on this.

  • Panasonic Gamecube Qs were restocked today. Fully modified units capable of playing USA/JPN Gamecube games and NTSC DVDs from any region will begin shipping again to new orders on Monday. 
    -
  • Gamecube Animal Leader and Doshin the Giant were both restocked this week and any back-orders ship today.
    -
  • A working Xbox "mod-chip" is apparently in the works. Did that sentence make sense? In any case, the mod allows the use of import games only - no so-called "backups". Alas, this was but one of the things gurgled on 3l33t EFnet channels yesterday.
