But it has Lum in it! Sort of. In a way. |

I think this information surfaced at the MAME board a few weeks ago... the game has Lum's music and stuff, but the game doesn't have her. There's a chance of an undumped Lum version around.
I know there's an NES version... which is weird. Which came first, Momoko or Lum? |

It did? Crap. I knew I should've mentioned it when I found it... Alas, I don't get to be credited for obscure crap nobody knows about. At least until I sub the Astro Boy Live Action movie.
GRUMBLE GRUMBLE. |

Were you talking of the arcade version or the NES version? Is there a Momoko NES (or console) port? |

I was talking the arcade one. About four months ago I was going through my mame roms in chronological order, seeing which were worth keeping. That's when I acutally played Momoko 120%. Dunno about a home version...
When I finish this work I'm doing, I'll check my Famicom 20th Anniv. Book. |

Guh. I tried to find it, but I've been struck down with a case of Really Dumb from the Korean SFII. |

I doubt there's an Nes version without Lum in it. This is just another case of a company slapping an anime/movie license on a game so it will sell more copies. Guessing Momoko 120% was not a smash hit in Japan. |

But... see, Momoko 120% has music from Lum (or so people say, since I've never seen Urusei Yatsura I wouldn't really know), which implies that the Lum version came first. And no one's seen a Lum version around...
Wasn't the game made by Taito, by the way? |

On Momoko:
Definitely UY music. Lum's Love Song, the first OP.
The game's by Jaleco, and is credited 1986.
GameFaqs sez Lum's Wedding Bell for the FC was 1986, also.
Of course, they also use the "We don't know shit" romanization of "Ram"...
Anybody try digging through the sprites of Momoko 120% and Lum's Wedding Bell? Maybe there's gold in them thar dumps. |

Well, the MAME version's sprites don't seem to indicate much. Since I don't know anything about Urusei Yatsura, anyway. (Press F4 while playing and press left and right to see the tiles, up and down to change the palette.)
The game's fun, though, I'll give you that. |

Well, I flipped through the Momoko sprites, and there's one that's very UY, the octopus. If I knew what the hell I was doing, I'd figure out how to set up the pallette so it doesn't look like crap. But here's the quick dealy I pulled from Momoko.
That's the ugly octopus of the Mendou family crest.
I'll try my poorly-trained hand at digging through the UY rom and see if Momoko's hiding in it.
I'd hazard that Jaleco hadn't finished the contracts by the time [arcade game] had to ship, so they just threw Generic Girl over the Lum sprite. Wonder if there's "upgrade chips", or whatever-the-hell they call the arcade equiv of sprite-hacks... |

There are cases where companies release upgrade setups for arcades. I remember that there was a US company that released upgrade kits for Donkey Kong, which changed the game completely. Of course, these were not authorized by Nintendo. It depends on the game. |
