Very, very little is known about this point and click adventure about an alien invader’s plot to take over the Earth. The limited information I can find is lost in translation and suggests that the original copies were infected with early computer viruses, likely lending to its obscurity.

‘Xena: Warrior Princess’
[PS1] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [1999]
“Xena’s ambiguous romantic relationship with travelling companion Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor) led to [Lucy] Lawless becoming a lesbian icon, a role of which she has said she’s proud. She has said that during the years she was playing the role, she had been undecided on the nature of the relationship, but in a 2003 interview with Lesbian News magazine, she said that after viewing the series finale, she had come to see Xena and Gabrielle’s relationship as definitely gay, adding “they’re married, man.” This reputation became cemented after her “graphic lesbian sex scenes” in Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. She has appeared at gay pride events such as the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.” ~Wikipedia

‘Ratchet & Clank’
[PS2] [UK] [MAGAZINE, SPREAD] [2003]
“Gadgetron Corporation is a large gadget and weapons supplier in the Ratchet & Clank series. Based in the Gadgetron site on planet Kalebo III, it is one of the largest corporations in the Solana Galaxy. It has Gadgetron vendors stationed on all inhabited planets throughout the galaxy and some uninhabited planets. Ratchet and Clank have made use of Gadgetron products throughout all of their adventures, such as the OmniWrench, Swingshot, nanotech, and the RYNO series of weapons.
Ratchet used the Gadgetron HelpDesk when building his first ship. After finding Clank, he then went on to use weapons from Gadgetron vendors in order to defeat Chairman Drek. The Bomb Glove was provided to first-time customers for free, while other weapons such as the Blaster, Glove of Doom, and the Devastator were purchased from Gadgetron vendors found throughout the galaxy.” ~Ratchet & Clank Wiki

‘Sheep’
[GBA] [USA] [MAGAZINE] [2002]
“Sheep for the Game Boy Advance is based on the game of the same name for console and computers, but only takes the general concept, adapting it with its own graphical style, completely new levels and different playing modes.
Sheep is a real-time puzzle game. In more than 24 levels displayed in isometric view, the player controls a sheep dog and must herd sheep, moving them into a truck within a time limit. This is mainly done by approaching the sheep, which makes them move into the opposite direction. This way they must be guided around obstacles and away from dangers. The dog can also grab a sheep to carry it, bark to encourage movement further and leave treats behind for the sheep to follow him.” ~MobyGames

‘Pariah’
[PS1] [UK(?] [MAGAZINE, TEASER] [1997]
“Pariah is a cancelled action game that was in development in 1997 by Studio E for the original Playstation. As far as we know, this project is not related to Digital Extremes’ Pariah, a FPS released in 2005 for Xbox and PC. There are not other info about Pariah, apart from a small image in an old magazine. Studio E was working on different titles for PSX and PC (as Beasts of Bedlam, Zulu and Youngblood), but it seems that they never released a single one. They also worked on Shadowhawk for the SNES, but that was cancelled too. Really an unlucky team.” ~Celine, Unseen64

‘Dancing Stage: Mario Mix’
[aka: ‘Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix’]
[GCN] [SPAIN] [MAGAZINE] [2005]
“Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix is the second dancing game to be released on the Nintendo GameCube. Mario Mix is not as intense as standard versions of Dance Dance Revolution; Super Hard difficulty is equivalent to “standard” difficulty in other Dance Dance Revolution games (though some later songs are considered “heavy” in the standard games, especially Bowser’s Castle).
The game includes a Story Mode, which the player must clear in order to unlock all of the songs in the game. The playable characters are Mario and Luigi. The opening scene starts out with Waluigi breaking into Truffle Towers. This is trouble as the Music Keys are able to grant any wish. However, when Waluigi opens the door to the room of the four Music Keys, they all scatter across the Mushroom Kingdom except for one that Waluigi gets to keep. Meanwhile, Toad, having seen this, rushes to tell Mario or Luigi, depending on which character the player chose.” ~Super Mario Wiki

[SAT] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1998]
“Scenario 3 stars Julian, a mercenary who appears as a secondary character in both Scenario 1 and Scenario 2. He is for all intents and purposes the true main character of Shining Force III. His initial motivation as the story begins is to track down and kill Galm, one of, if not the, most powerful member of the Vandals, a powerful race of beings that existed over 1,000 years ago. Julian believes that Galm killed his father and is seeking revenge. This story arc is first introduced in an earlier Shining game, Shining the Holy Ark, in which Julian appears as a young boy who asks the party to search for his missing father.” ~Wikipedia
‘Nintendo e-Reader’
[GBA] [USA] [VIDEO, TRAILER] [2002]
“The e-Reader was a peripheral released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002 that unlocks special content for certain Game Boy Advance games. Content includes mini-games, different worlds, or full and complete NES games. The content was added or unlocked by purchasing e-Reader cards and swiping them in.
Among others, Pokémon Battle Arena E-Reader cards and Animal Crossing Cards were released. The Pokémon battle Arena cards allowed you to fight a large amount of predetermined battles for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire version for the Game Boy Advance whereas the Animal Crossing E-Reader Cards were used for the GameCube version of Animal Crossing and unlocked gifts from your Animal Crossing residents.
In Spring 2004, Nintendo discontinued the e-Reader outside of Japan due to low sales. However, it was supported in Japan until September 2008. The Game Boy Advance family was discontinued a year later.” ~Nintendo Wiki
