On the cover it is subtitled with the English phrase Little witching mischiefs. It is a fighting game and role-playing video game starring girls with magical powers. On episode 97 of internet interview show Matt Chat,[1] creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche described the unusual production style. The company were faxed design documents directly from Bandai which needed to be translated from Japanese before any of them could be implemented. The process was so laborious, the developers eventually turned off their fax machine in order to finish the game on schedule.
