Needs combined and/or updated

There are separate entries on Wikipedia for Target Earth (in which the article discusses some but not all sequels) and there is an article on the "Assault Suit Series" of which Target Earth is the first. The info from this article either needs combined with the other article about the whole series, or at least contain some mention of the direct sequel, Assault Suit Leynos 2 for the Sega Saturn. With all the discussion of later games, its amazing the direct sequel gets no mention (though it does ALSO have a Wikipedia page that mentions nothing but the company and date of release which should be deleted and combined). Just search for Assault Suit Leynos and you'll see that the subject needs some cleanup. If I had access to more information I'd update it, but I only own the Japanese import of part II for Saturn and I don't know Japanese, so I wouldn't be a good resource. I do know enough to see some cleanup in need though. Hastor (talk) 21:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Trivia

• The game is labeled as one player, however you can control the enemies with the 2nd player controller.
• Upon finishing the US version of Target Earth, the very final credit roll screen will show the Japanese name "Assault Suits Leynos".
• Unknown to the common public, Target Earth received a prequel that went by the name of Cybernator. Cybernator was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment system, which was one of the reasons why the games may have been considered separate entities. The true game names made more sense though, with Target Earth's being "Assault Suit Leynos", and Cybernator's being "Assault Suit Valken". Although the American names were different, the games possessed a lot of similarities. Much of the mecha and technology seemed to have similar roots, as did the gameplay mechanics. Both games were also story driven by way of text being displayed at the bottom of the screen entailing conversations between characters.

Target Earth and Cybernator shared a number of common themes:

• Both featured variable weapons systems that the player could equip while on the fly. Additionally, there was 360 degree (or close to it) aiming, and the ability to engage in aerial or Zero-G combat.
• The enemy in both games was predominantly colored green.
• Both games offered mission briefings and interaction/involvement with NPCs (Non-Player Characters). This helped to convey the notion that the Player was involved in an actual war, and wasn't so much a one-man army. Although simple in nature, the support of friendly mecha or a fly-by made by friendly aircraft served to help with immersion.
• Both games pitted the protagonist against a formidable nemesis who would plague the Player until the final level.
• The ending of both games brought about the destruction of the player's Assault Suit.
• There were a number of instances involving similar levels: Zero-G combat culminating in a battle with an enemy artillery-ship, a free fall drop to Earth with the Player fighting the enemy on the way down, Zero-G combat pitting the Player against massive enemy warships, underground assaults on enemy bases to destroy heavy/secret weapons, a final battle involving a confrontation with the "nemesis" and later the "political leader" of the enemy forces.
• Certain scenes in the U.S. versions of both games were censored: in Target Earth, the scene where a comrade doesn't make it back to the ship (and burns up in the atmosphere) was removed. In Cybernator, the scene where the enemy commander commits suicide after his defeat, was cut.
