Black Magic (Win 95)
I think that the only work Shirow did were the cover and another CG image, more a little of character design (some characters resemble the Puma twins from Dominion, Dr. Matthew and the M-66 robot from Black Magic). In this strategy game you command a special force for 12 missions (but each one has some submissions). It isn't in real time like "Command & Conquer": after having moved or fired, the character cannot do anything else for some time. During the various missions, the characters drive landmates or use armored suits and both look like those illustrated on the cover.
Anyway this game isn't anything special. The intelligence and the weapons of the enemies are poor and you can complete the missions until 7 just keeping all the characters together and using their superior firepower. In particular the M-66 robot just stands still and attacks you using his laser-eye; it's very different from the one watched in the animation.
Some parts of the background graphic remind elements from other Shirow's works like Israeli landmates from Appleseed.
This game was released on 1997 by WIZ. Its price is 9,800 yen and requires at least Windows 95 (with the English version the Japanese ideograms don't show correctly), a Pentium 100 MHz and 16 MB of RAM. It works with 256 colors only.
