Chain Reaction (Arcade)

The first entry of the series where you pick colored orbs (named drops) and match with them of the same color, in attempt to make a Chain Reaction.

It also features a different artstyle, compared to its sequels.

To do: Rip the orbs/drops (from the Japanese version) and the objects (from the International version) sprites and compare them. Rip all the character voices from the Japanese version and the male voice from the International one.

Regional Differences#

The Japanese version was rereleased as Magical Drop Plus 1!, adding a new mode and other changes. This in turn served as the basis for the International version, Chain Reaction.

Game Modes#

Japan (Original)	Japan (Rev.)/International
"Play alone!" "Two-player battle!"

• The original Japanese version features only the Battle Mode. Upon starting the game you'll be greeted with two options: Play the game alone against the computer (left option) or Play against another player (right option).
• The Revised/International version added a new mode: Solo Play, along with the existing Battle Mode, where you play to obtain a high score without having to play against a computer. One flaw about this mode is that you can only play as the High Priestess.

Round Start#

In the original Japanese version, the round starts instantly. In the Revised/International version, a dropping "START!" was added, before a round starts.

Voice Cast#

In both Japanese versions, each character has a unique voice. In the International version, each character voice was replaced with a single male one. Here's a table of all voice actors:
