    MOVE OVER EXCALIBUR! 

    Maken X goes above and beyond the usual slicefest. In this 
    first-person adventure on Sega Dreamcast, you play as Maken X,
    aka "Soul Sword." This powerful entity can "brain-jack," or take 
    over, the minds and bodies of other characters. Inhabiting a new 
    body not only boosts your strength, but also lets you access its 
    unique powers. The ability to manipulate a person's "psi," or 
    soul, was discovered in a research lab and promptly hidden in 
    the Soul Sword. Terrorists have kidnapped the chief scientist, and 
    his daughter Kay has awakened Maken X to assist her in rescuing
    her father. As the quest continues, Maken and Kay go up against a 
    slew of disturbing, evil characters in real-time, sword-slinging
    combat. As Maken, you definitely have the sharper edge in this
    contest of wills. But you must rely on skill and strategy to 
    finish with all your limbs attached. There are 7 different endings
    to this slasher, so your every move will decide your ultimate fate.

    Game Features:

    - Innovative "lock-on" combat system. 
                           
    - Intensive first-person perspective combat. 
                        
    - Story changes based on player's decisions 
                     
    - Brain-jack over 10 unique characters. 
                            
    - More than 20 gorgeous levels in lush, complex 3D worlds. 
                        
    - Distinctive non-player characters with real personalities and 
      stylized looks. 
                          
    - Pioneering 3D sound gives accurate voice and sound effects.

    Rip Notes:

    All Japanese voices had to go from this one, and the remaining
    English voices & music were converted to Mono to make this monster
    fit tightly on an 80 Minute Blank. The Japanese voices are never
    used in the game, it is hardcoded to use English voices. Also, this
    game is a bit over the size that would be needed to make it a
    self-booting DiscJuggler image, and there'ss nothing left to rip.
    If you want to self-boot it, you might have success doing it using
    our previously released toolkit and either overburning an 80 Minute
    Blank or using a 90/99 Minute Blank. We did not want to make either
    of those a requirement for burning this release, though. So use the
    Utopia loader for this one and burn it in CDRWIN.
