Though I'm not sure how they're connected, since Meldac and Live Planning are also credited.<br /><br />Still, a truly awesome mystery solved. We should do this regularly.<br /><br />Regarding writing previews off of screenshots, this still happens today when publishers give out screens and a generic PR blurb that tells you nothing, and then demand lots of early coverage.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-52098585215164861882010-12-04T23:09:08.294-05:002010-12-04T23:09:08.294-05:00woah... thank you for this.

Lenar has nothing to do with the Rastan series, so maybe Taito wanted to slap the name on it to sell it outside of Japan at one point.
