◉◉maru Just a reminder: the Egret II Mini came out today and this means the little piece of video game history discussed above, Lupin III, is now once again officially commercialized and available to all.
◉◉maru Here is a 1CC of Sega’s Lupin III: The Shooting for Naomi, produced by Wow Entertainment and developed by 8ing. There was also a Sega’s Lupin III: The Typing conversion but sadly neither game was ported to the Dreamcast by Sega.
NoJoTo here’s another 1976 game that is licensed (or at least authorized, if there’s a difference): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datsun_280_ZZZAP
◉◉maru Here is a cool little LSI game from Epoch, Lupin The 3rd – Part III: Sanjō! Ōgon no Ude (1984), which seems heavily inspired by Taito’s Elevator Action (1983) but with a focus on stealth, which was still fairly uncommon by 1984. The sprites LCD prints(?) are pretty charming and in tune with the show’s key animation poses – even moreso that goofier third series with the pink jacket.
