marsdragonA psychiccer is someone who can use mysterious supernatural powers, the kind that were formerly unimaginable to humanity.
But, having those powers does not guarantee happiness.
Psychiccers were swallowed up by the greed of nations....
In order to save the psychiccers buried in darkness, and to create a psychic utopia, one man stood up and fought. His name was Keith.
But at some point his dreams of "a world for psychiccers" changed into "a world ruled by psychiccers"...

Psychic Force
The first game, it has two really bad English dubs. Only one is my fault!
I can't find good videos of the story modes in Japanese, so just trust me when I say the voice acting is actually good there.
US version, playable online. (not that I've tried; looks like you'll probably want joy2key to play it anyway)
US ISO (get Mednafen)
Psychic Force Complete JP ISO. (get PCSX2) This is your best bet for experiencing PF1 in Japanese, as well as a visually janky port of 2012.
Script
Story modes:
Burn: English, Redub
Emilio: English, Redub
Wendy: English, Redub
Sonia: English, Redub
Brad: English, Redub
Wong: English, Redub
Genma: English, Redub
Gates: English, Redub
Psychic Force OVA
It fails the basic test of fighting game anime*, but it is more or less what's canon for 2012....except for the ending.
Episode 1, Episode 2.
*Everyone shows up, everyone does a special move. It's a surprisingly easy test to fail.
Psychic Force Puzzle Taisen
Taito realised they had that Puzzle Bobble 2 engine just sitting around and reskinned it for Psychic Force. Your one chance to see the characters living relatively normal and happy lives.
Sadly, there's no Psychic Force 2012 Puzzle Taisen but given the timing it might've ended up on the critically flawed Puzzle Bobble 4 engine instead of the absolute perfection of Puzzle Bobble 3, so perhaps we dodged a bullet.
JP ISO (once again, get Mednafen)
Translated scripts
Psychic Force 2012
The much improved sequel, this is legitimately a good, if unusual, fighting game. And Acclaim didn't try to dub it this time! (I did, but I haven't touched those audio files for six years)
It got a downport to the Playstation as "Psychic Force 2", which was released in Europe but not the US. However, that port is honestly pretty compromised and not worth playing. It's got some fun extra modes, but the frame rate is cut in half. And the Euro version cuts out the win quotes for some inexplicable reason, so I can never forgive it.
US ISO (get Flycast. You can get the Windows version on the builds page)
Script
Wiki, focused on gameplay
