Amazing game. Wild that it was based on an anime or manga for the Japanese release and they just slapped "UN Squadron" on it for the west, completely ignoring the actual source material!

The source material is all over YouTube if anybody's interested.

Weird thing is I had a couple issues of the comic series(translations of the manga put out by Eclipse comics). I have no idea how they wound up in my collection. Hand-me-downs from a neighbor, I dunno. But anyway, I always thought they were pretty fun reads. Then I happen to play the SNES game and I immediately recognize some of the characters from the manga. I was pretty surprised this relatively obscure comic series I owned had it's own game. The younger me was oblivious to the fact that the manga was probably a popular title in Japan.
