On Topic: I saw the link for that game some time ago. I admit that I would play it.
Well, I'd play it too if I could afford the time I'd spend in the download. I didn't learn about this game until today when I was cleaning my spam mail and saw a link to it. Sorry if it is old news, I've just returned from holiday's time and haven't visited the cafe in a while.

Off Topic: Makondo, wonderful tag. It's nice to see another GUNNM fan around here. Spectacular series...
Oh, thanks! Yes, I thought it'd be a good idea to create a tag with Gally in it, she's so awesome. I also love these series, although I've missed what's going on lately in the "Last Order" installment. I had a link to a site that had some chapters translated, but I lost my "favourites" folder when re-installing my OS... :(
Well, I guess I'll have to check the 'net to try to find it again. By the way Dr. Orochi, have you played the PSX game of GUNNM or seen the CG video of Gally in the Motorball?

Yes, Last Order began publishing months ago in the US, but there were some troubles with the European translation. Something to do with rights to the title, so it got pulled.
So without further ado...

check the images and the bottom of the page for the link to their translation. This might be what you were looking for.
As for the Motorball CG.. nope : ( still haven't seen it. As for the PSX game, I am still looking for a near mint copy. Most don't have the obi with them. It will be mine!!

Hey, thanks for the link! Unfortunately they stopped translating it in the same "phase" as in the page I told you about (I found it only to learn that they decided to quit translating it due that the terminology used was beyond their knowledge or sth) :( So, it'll remain a mystery to me what's above Zalem...

I'm so sorry Makondo! I think about it everyday.. honest. But college is so hard right now. I've got tons of reports to write and all. I feel terrible.. but I'm SLOWLY working away on it.. it's just.... very slowly. But I HAVEN'T forgotten! Honest!
Oh, don't worry about it. I'm happy to know that you dedicate some time to think about it. It's only I feel that you might find interesting to add some other characters from the Sandman series to your tale/novel ^_^ After all, Dream's relatives are quite unique characters (this description comes mainly from here):
A Brief Introduction to the Endless..
Destiny:
Destiny is the oldest of the Endless; in the Beginning was the Word, and it was traced by hand on the first page of his book, before ever it was spoken aloud.
Destiny is also the tallest of the Endless, to mortal eyes.
There are some who believe him to be blind; whilst others, perhaps with more reason, claim that he has travelled far beyond blindness, that indeed, he can do nothing but see: that he sees the fine traceries the galaxies make as they spiral through the void that he watches the intricate patterns living things make on their journey through time.
Destiny smells of dust and the libraries of night.
He leaves no footprints.
He casts no shadow.
Dream:
Dream of the Endless: ah, there's a conundrum.
In this aspect (and we perceive but aspects of the Endless, as we see the light glinting from one tiny facet of some huge and flawlessly cut precious stone), he is rake-thin, with skin the color of falling snow.
Dream accumulates names to himself like others make friends; but he permits himself few friends.
If he is closest to anyone, it is to his elder sister, whom he sees but rarely. He heard long ago, in a dream, that one day in every century Death takes on mortal flesh, better to comprehend what the lives she takes must feel like, to taste the bitter tang of mortality: that this is the price she must pay for being the divider of the living from all that has gone before, all that must come after. He broods on this tale, but has never questioned her about its truth. Perhaps he fears that she would answer him.
Of all the Endless, save perhaps Destiny, he is most conscious of his responsibilities, the most meticulous in their execution.
Dream casts a human shadow, when it occurs to him to do so.
Death:
Death visits each mortal being two times in his/her life. When we are born, she whispers us some words, but no-one ever remembers what she said. The second time we see her is also the last.
Once, every one hundred years, she lives as a mortal being, in order to learn how it feels to live and taste the bitterness of mortality. It is the price Death has to take for dividing what was from what will be.
There's a tale in the Caballa that suggests that the Angel of Death is so beautiful that on finally seeing it (or him, or her) you fall in love so hard, so fast, that your soul is pulled out through your eyes. Because in the end we love Death.
Destruction:
Destruction, the prodigal of the Endless. Olethros.
About 300 years ago Destruction decided to quit. Now humans are responsible (and guilt) of their own destruction.
Olethros did not pass his post to other being. He just quit. He is now missing, but if you ever meet a tall, red-haired man walking in your path, give him some cheese and bread. He tells good stories.
Desire:
Desire is of medium height. It is unlikely that any portrait will ever do Desire justice, since to see her (or him) is to love him (or her), -passionately, painfully, to the exclusion of all else.
Desire casts two shadows: one black and sharp-edged, the other translucent and forever wavering, like heat haze.
Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine: Desire is everything you have ever wanted. Whoever you are. Whatever you are.
Despair:
She appears as a short, pale, heavy woman. She wears no clothing. Her realm is very dull and grey. Probably the most remarkable thing about her realm is that there is an infinite number of windows to the mortal world. We see these windows as mirrors.
She is the twin sister to Desire and, in fact, once was one with Desire. She keeps to herself most of the time.
Delirium:
Delirium takes the form of a teenage girl. Her hair is multi-coloured and changes frequently and each of her eyes is a different colour. She is very scatterbrained most of the time and is in a constant state that can only really be described as, well delirium. She was once called Delight, but that's other story.
It's just an idea though. Please don't feel pressured and let that wonderful imagination of yours flow!

I posted a link to the Motorball cg movie here sometime ago... should I look for the link again?
Gunnm rules. Manga, anime, CG, and maybe the game (haven't played it).
Thanks for your kindness Rid, but I'd rather like to know if it is worth the download first. I haven't seen the CG, only pics, is it worth it?

As I said before, don't worry about it. No, I don't have AIM. I have ICQ (that almost never use) and MSN Messenger (which I use a lot more than ICQ). Does any of these programs fit you?
