46 Okunen Monogatari - The Shinkaron

46 Okunen Monogatari - The Shinkaron is an RPG taking you on a 4.6 billion year adventure through the history of evolution, featuring a wide variety of real and fictional species to evolve into. Oh, and you fight anime girl Satan twice.

Two years after release, this game would get heavily reimagined for the SNES as E.V.O.: Search for Eden.

Sound Test#

Type "MUSIC TEST" at the DOS prompt ("TEST" must be in all caps) to access a music and sound test. Pressing Esc exits.
The method of accessing this is identical to the sound test seen in Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss.
