This has nothing to do with shoes, or boots, or footwear for that matter.
It’s all about mecha, and well fighting. Kind of like Custom Robo from the Game Cube but with more Virtual On looking mechs, although 98 does look very very Gundam. Looks kind of like a Leo imho. Anyway Each mech is named after some form of OS there’s 98, a couple XP’s, a few Linux versions and a couple I’m not sure what exactly are. No, there’s no mac, sorry, no I’m not actually. The games got a couple of default pilots, three because the guy who translated added one of him. (In name only, the pictures some b&w lineart from One Piece. Yeah he added his own custom pilot, and you can to it’s really easy after a quick look through pilotdata.txt and you can add pretty much anyone you want and even add your own sounds. Which s pretty wicked. I haven’t added any with sound yet but I have added a few. Saber, Lt. Columbo, Vita and Keiichi being among a few. I’ll mention Lolivader too, who is like her name sounds, Darth Vader… lolified. Yes, my oddness knows no bounds. Anyway games pretty simple and I suggest looking through the manual pdf since it tells you what buttons do what, unless you’re like me I just fired it up and pushed staple doujin game buttons. (z,x,c so on and so forth) and well figured out everything on my own for the most part. Manual told me how to do an instant attack from guard stance though… so it’s not useless. So first thanks a whole bunch to mirrormoon.org for doing the translation on this. Now, a link to the game. Bootfighters.
Have at ‘em.
