Linda Cubed Again is a game which combines monster collection and traditional role playing. Originally realeased for the PC-Engine back in 1995 under the title of Linda Cubed, this game attempted to mix two genres. You start the game off with two characters, Linda and Ken. Ken is an army soldier tasked with the job of catching monsters; and his girlfriend Linda, who is used by the military as a surrogate for the god’s plans

The inhabitants of the Neo Kenya called upon a god by the name of Anubis (obvious reference to lord of the underworld) in order to protect them from imminent destruction. Apparently answering their calls, the dark god sent an Ark similar to Noah’s Ark. He demanded that a man and a woman gather two of every animal on the planet. The army nominated Ken and Linda in order to achieve this task. over the course of the game you run into a number of odd characters such as a twin who has a fondness for Linda and there are many other crazy characters.

After a brief introduction to the plot, you set out to capture monsters. Capturing monsters is the deviced used to advanced the plot, as you’re given a set number of missions that you’re supposed to complete.

Voice actress Minami Takayama supplies the voice of the heroine Linda. Minami also provides the voice for the half-pint sleuth Conan Edogawa, Pit in Dairantou Smash Bros, Mitos in Tales of Symphonia, and many other roles in assorted anime and video games.
