Video Game Releases
There are a total of seven Yuna video games, and a few related software releases:
- Galaxy Fraulein Yuna for PC Engine Super-CD in 1992. This was the first Yuna work to be released to the public.
- Galaxy Fraulein Yuna II: Eternal Princess for PC Engine Super-CD in 1995
- Galaxy Fraulein Yuna FX for PC FX in 1996
- Galaxy Fraulein Yuna Remix for Sega Saturn in 1996. This was a re-release of the original 1992 Yuna game, though it had improved graphics and new animation cutscenes added. This game was released in both a normal version and a collector's edition which included special oversized packaging and many omake items.
- Galaxy Fraulein Yuna 3: Lightning Angel for Sega Saturn in 1997
- Galaxy Fraulein Yuna 3: Final Edition for PlayStation in 1998 . This was a PlayStation a port of Lightning Angel with slightly enhanced graphics and some bonus content.
- Galaxy Fraulein Collection for PlayStation Portable in 2008. This was an unenhanced port of the first two Galaxy Fraulein Yuna games, along with Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire, on a single disc. Other than the addition of an image gallery, no enhancements were made from the PC-Engine versions.
In addition, two Sega Saturn discs entitled Mika Akitaka Illust. Works volumes 1 and 2 were released in 1996 and 1997 respectively. While these were software for a video game console, they are not true games, but rather collections of artwork, music, and digital omake material. Also released in 1997 were two computer software packages: Galaxy Fraulein Yuna Hybrid Collection and Galaxy Fraulein Yuna Visual Soundtrack. The former was a collection of PC-related omake such as desktop wallpaper, custom cursors, and screensavers. The latter contained a few music clips with slide-show style "videos".
All Yuna video games are mainly of the visual novel type. Combat scenes are played out in turn-based role-playing video game style. Yuna 3 incorporates a 3D Isometric view "tactical simulation combat system", transforming the combat into a that of a Tactical RPG.
Yuna also makes a cameo appearance in Saturn Bomberman as a secret unlockable character

Famous quotes containing the words video game, video, game and/or releases:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“The savage soul of game is up at once—
The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
