: "Charlotte, get back! I'll handle this for now!"Well, sorry to hear thatYeppers. It's one of those early games made when 16-bit architecture was still standard, but after Windows 95 had supplanted DOS. The architecture's hopelessly obsolete, so it's no longer supported at all by Windows 7, and since my copy is not so old that it ran in DOS, DOSBox won't work with it.Set off with the last 200 survivors of Earth to found a new colony on Alpha Centauri. Settled on a Mars-like planet, died within five turns of bringing the colonists down because I forgot to bring more than one turn of air. Restarted, remembered to pack enough life support, cut down the number of people rescued to 100, and died because I parked my colony too far from the nearest mine and couldn't finish the road and trucks before I ran out of PrecA, which I needed to maintain the facilities producing my air. I say, this whole notion of "breathing" is entirely overrated. Tally ho, and let us try again when we aren't passing out from maths-induced so-late-it's-early exhaustion.Did you try running it in compatibility mode, by any chance? Sometimes that works with other older games.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

How about some relaxing Sirus? Being sour for the sake of it is at minimum just as tiring as poor innuendo.It fits the thread better, though.
NGE has also been in a couple of games in the Super Robot Wars series, but I think those are all Japan-only as well.I just don't think NGE would work very well as a game. All the psychological aspects have been argued over and rehashed until there's pretty much nothing left to discuss. We'd need new characters with new issues and motivations, but then you'd have the diehard fans screaming about Y NO SHINJI?Eh. Maybe something similar (building underground bases and fighting giant nightmare-inducing monsters) but nothing actually based in the NGE-verse.I posted that mostly because I really want to see a game with a little focus on the psychological aspects of characters.
So yeah. Different universe, similar themes.
There actually was a Japan-only NGE game for the N64. From what I've seen it was just a collection of minigames that loosely followed the plot through End of Evangelion until it replaced the ending of the movie with you fighting the MP Evas in the clouds as Shinji. The graphics were impressive, but otherwise it was pretty forgettable.
I think the only way an NGE game would work would be through a similar-but-not-really plot, like the Rebuild films are doing. I personally don't enjoy the Rebuild films, but I think they'd make a better game than the show.

Nothing much, just a management game where you play as Gendo.Eh. Maybe something similar (building underground bases and fighting giant nightmare-inducing monsters) but nothing actually based in the NGE-verse.Spoiler: You know you want it (click to show/hide)
