After much deliberation, here we are: Battle Mania Daiginjou
Released in 1993 on the Mega Drive in Japan. This one never got any kind of international release, it turns out.
Ginjou is very high quality sake. Daiginjou is top quality sake. Like adding the XO onto the end of your game name in the west. Or something, who knows?
The usual drill: one credit, stock everything.
Submit your scores in this format, please:
Name - Score - Level - Platform (Genesis, Mega Drive, Mister, Emulator, etc).
As always, no shenanigans. Respect the game, your fellow players, and the spirit of shooting.
The MD cart is not an easy one to come by, and I realize a lot of us don’t have it. If you need a way to play, PM me and I’ll get you set up.
Happy shooting!

You didn’t decide to add something like ‘Zwei’ or ‘Second’ for the sequel, but instead went with ‘Daiginjo’ why was that? Wasn’t it difficult to get that unusual name approved?
Takayan: For Daiginjo, deciding on a name was the single most difficult thing as I was dead set on not simply adding ‘2’. During development, we used 95 (because the game is set in an alternate Tokyo in 1995) but I wasn’t fond of it. Still, rather than adding something generic I wanted something interesting like “La Grande Vadrouille” or “Nostalgic forget-me-nots” I deliberated over it for around 2 months until one day I thought “Wait, I love sake” so I’m going to call it ‘Daiginjo’ (the highest quality sake). When I told PR they thought I was joking around like normal. Some less imaginative members of the sales and development teams didn’t like it but they realized I wouldn’t listen to them even if they told me to change it, so in the end, they caved in.
