The only reason I'd buy A-Train for the PSX is to listen to the music, because it's got an awesome soundtrack for a sim game. No mouse support = no buy.
My copy has already shipped. Don't forget that Artdink have also been working on the BluRay Hybrid Macross games too. Though my favourite Macross game of theirs is still this one:

I've got the DYRL hybrid pack preordered, still a month away.
You ever going to try and review Carnage Heart EXA, Caco? It's been a while since, but doing general reviews of the Carnage Heart games would be really-interesting to read.
Scroll said:Railroad tycoons, baseball team management, open-world RPGs, sailing uncharted waters, searching for treasure under the sea, and freeform virtual toys. These aren't the "greatest hits" of computer games from several different game makers -- this is the work of Artdink. Both a pioneer and innovator, Artdink's legacy spans nearly 30 years of mostly simulation games on subjects most didn't touch until years after their release. And some of their other games are just plain weird. This issue goes over the highlights of the Artdink catalog, from the good and the bad to especially the weird, with special attention paid to their contemporaries and their longest-lasting franchises.

Looking at the preview for that issue of Scrolls: it looks like someone's finally covering Lunatic Dawn! That's seriously cool. If he delves into franchises like Tokio and HR, that would be even more impressive. Shit, I wish I had the journalistic platform he has.
I'll likely spring for the issue sometime soon, but can any regular buyers talk about the content? I miss Artdink's regular presence on our shores.
Holy pastry strudels. This sounds delicious. Only a true badass would cover fucking HR-2 and the rest.Both of the HR games are given two pages each. Tokio is given two pages too. Lunatic Dawn is given two pages, mostly focusing on the first game with summarties of the rest. There's a LOT of stuff covered I'd never heard of, like the two Atlas games, Arctic, Far Side Moon, Topolo and many others. It's a fantastic issue, definitely worth at least buying the digital edition.
