As was the case with the Ninja Gaiden trilogy, why not bring back 3 mega-underrated, hidden gems (in terms of their final boss confrontations)?! Back with a "triple vengeance" are the exploits of a military colonel reincarnated as a "Japanese-theatre-inspired-badass" hell-bent on confronting an invading virus and its countless swarms of digital mutants and parasites; a Bronx police officer with a personal vendetta against an elite military renegade faction after his organic arms have been severed, following which he's been provided with reanimated, missile-powered arms by his organization...thereby becoming a full agent in pursuit of the very same military renegade faction; and a Vice agent investigating a shady bio-tech lab that's broken big with a deadly drug called Gel (nourishment for aliens, but deadly to humans), thus unraveling an epic conspiracy with the help of his 2 partners.

Following the defeat of the Bio-Noid doppelganger to Hayabusa, the real Dragon Ninja follows Clancy into the interdimensional subspace rift. It then leads to yet another Bio-Noid encounter - in the form of a transmuted super-creature, whom Hayabusa eventually puts out of commission. He and Clancy cross paths yet again, resulting in their final confrontation...following another long excursion through - yep, you guessed it: THE ANCIENT SHIP OF DOOM!

![Akira Walkthrough [Part 1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RjE_Bjiwpfc/mqdefault.jpg "Akira Walkthrough [Part 1]
Taking a break from the usual shmups, Ive decided to dive once again into Katsuhiro Otomos graphic-novel-turned-anime-feature-phenomenon....in the form of a psychic adventure (menu command choice* / point-and-click) game!
This part starts up from the Old City highway Clown rumble & Army confrontation, all the way to Tetsuos rescue by his lackeys, leading up to his illusion phase.
English translation annotations are conveniently added throughout, given that the game contains Japanese text. (Note: prior to Danke & Pennywises fan-translated rom, I actually had up a playthrough of the game; some of the paraphrased translations will be inspired by what I had before, as well as theirs - NO plagiarism intended).
*Whenever certain menus pop up, drag your cursor onto each of them for hints on which commands to select!
