巨人のドシン (Kyojin no Doshin)
EU: 20 Sep 2002
System: Nintendo GameCube
Developer: Param
Genre: Simulation
A port of the original 64DD game. Not only have the graphics been improved, but changes have been made to make the game easier, such as allowing Doshin's spawn point to be moved, and giving Jashin wings so that he can jump farther. This game also introduces female islanders that need to be paired with male islanders to populate villages, whereas islanders were originally all male and villages could repopulate from a single islander.
