About which I know very little. (The official site, linked to below, will be of more use to those of you who can read Japanese; I'm just staring at the pretty screenshots.) It was a PSX game developed by Alfa Systems and published in Japan by SCE on September 28, 2000. With no advertising whatsoever; consequently news of it spread among hardcore gamers over the 'Net, with the game becoming a cult hit and gaining an Award for Excellence at the 2001 CESA show. Gameplay centres around balancing school life and battling monsters; it seems to be generally described as a Simulation RPG or life simulator. It's noted for letting players take on numerous different actions (robot pilot, weapon supply overseer, etc.) and for its character interaction. (It includes dating simulator elements, which appear to be reflected in the anime.) At any rate, if anyone wants to talk about it, here's a thread on which to do that. www.alfasystem.net/game/gpwww.ncsx.com/www/ncs100200/gunparade_march.htm

I imagine so. In another gaming link, the Gunparade March developers also did Neon Genesis Evanglion 2 for PS2.

I can't help but struggle to see how you could make a game of Eva It's just wrong Though I did hear about one described as "iron maiden 2" TEXTTEXTBEWARE VERY FEEBLE EVA SPOILER AHEAD!!! TEXTTEXTWell the game appears to be some kind of dating simmulator based in the parralell universe of the last episode of the original series (the really cheesy one)

Worry ye not; it warms the cockles of m'heart to see people having so much fun. And it's not as though I've never contributed to thread drift myself.
