Kogado Studio?!? What?! Where? It doesn't help that the staff is all last names or pseudoynms, some of which are of the original X68000 staff, apart from "Ryu Takegami" which I can't cite (and may also be a reference?), but all the games Opera House actually made back in the 1990s used their real names... (I don't have the ROM on me now but I am curious if the programming is similar.)

Did Opera House do a digital release of some sort independently of Columbus Circle?

I don't know Japanese at all, but maybe these articles could clear it up. I went based on the Wikipedia article for the game.

Well all right then!
I now wonder who the actual owners were, Kogado Studio or Pack-In-Video. I could probably reverse engineer Mega Schwarzschild or Lodoss War if I wanted to compare the two games for myself (and/or try to map names to pseudonyms), but eh.
Also this still assumes the game we got is the one that was supposed to be released in 1993 and not a remake? Likewise, I still don't know what Ultracore counts as (and given the scenario surrounding *that* release, well...)

Micronet was going to release it here?! This keeps getting more and more surreal I swear
