Advanced World War: Last of the

AWW:LotM is one of the “trickier” games to get working in an emulator. It's taken a long time for Saturn Emulation to achieve the reliability of other system emulators, because the Saturn itself was an incredibly complex system with multiple processors working together in sync.
Rated in order of reliability, the emulators that can run AWW:LotM are:
Mednafen is a really good Saturn emulator; and is somewhat (slowly updated), with the most recent update (1.27.1) being on 13 June 2021. It doesn't have the control problems of Yabause, and can read ISO files, unlike SSF.
A long time ago, I saw screenshots of this in a US video gaming magazine
Via the internet archive:
Ultra Game Players 98 (June 1997), page 108 (Picture)ASK THE INDUSTRY – You ask the questions, the experts answer 2. I’ve heard from several sources that Sega Of Japan will once again design and develop Iron Storm II, and that Working Designs will port the game to the United States. Is this true? Are Sega’s dealings with Working Designs exclusive? Iron Storm 2 has already been developed and released by SOJ in Japan. SOA had reviewed this title a couple months ago and decided not to bring it to the US. We know that Working Designs was a potential publisher since they published the original Iron Storm, but I don’t know if that deal has been finalized. You’ll have to ask Working Designs about their plans for exclusivity. |
While “Advanced World War” wasn't a true Daisenryaku game, it used an Iron Storm derived engine and had a lot of unique ideas outside of the mainstream Daisenryaku concepts.
Sega of Japan (SOJ) briefly considered bringing it to the US as Iron Storm II, but what apparently scuttled this idea was the "over the top" presentation of “Advanced World War” in relation to the Germans; with the Swastika plastered everywhere, which wouldn't be easy to remove via simple localization -- as you'd need to change a lot of core game files.
Iron Storm was able to be sold to Sega of America (SOA) because it wasn't as blatant -- there was a US and Japanese campaign -- allowing it to be presented as a "World War II game" rather than "NAZIS ALL THE NAZI TIME", as was the case with Advanced World War.
