Super Nintendo game - Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen

Some years ago I was surfing the web and I read about a Super Nintendo game called

Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen.

I have never tried it, so I'm just wondering if any of you guys have tried it...?

A later game in the series is called

Ogre Battle: Let us cling together.


When I read about it some years ago, I wrote an e-mail to the producer of the game and asked him about the title, and he said that the creator of the game was a huge Queen-fan.

And now today I found a link with some more info:

Check for an Emulator for NES or SNES and download the Rom of this Game (http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/41939/snes/Ogre-Battle-U.html), then you can play it on your PC. The Emulator should be on the same website. I love it because I can download all my old games for free from years and years back (gameboy or sega genesis etc.) to play them on my computer.

Since I read about "Ogre Battle", I always wondered what the game was really about. Now I now!

(I also got "James Bond - Golden Eye" for Nintendo 64, that brought back some memories...)

(Now I know...)

One of Matsuno's trademarks is to pay homage to the rock band Queen in his works. His first game was titled Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. Both Ogre Battle and March of the Black Queen are song titles from the album Queen II. His next game was Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Let Us Cling Together being a song from the album A Day at the Races. His game Final Fantasy Tactics had a chapter called Somebody to Love, also a song title from A Day At the Races. In the game Vagrant Story, the lead character begins the game with a sword called Fandango, which is a reference to a lyric in the song Bohemian Rhapsody, from A Night At The Opera. In Final Fantasy XII, the earth elemental summon uses an attack called "Rock You", a nod to the song We Will Rock You from the album News of the World. Rock You has been changed to "Roxxor" in the localized English game, a likely play on Internet slang.
