2 pages on Magical Truck Adventure, mostly being a producer interview with Mie Kumagai (Sega AM3), discussing how it departed from its origins as another rail shooter, Rail Chase and Magical Truck Adventure both being inspired by the final scene in the film Chiisana Koi no Melody (Melody)[1], the intense discussions when narrowing down the stage concepts, the design of the cabinet, difficulty adjustments, Kumagai's tips on how to play better and her penchant for making cooperative games. The interview was recorded at Sega on December 21 1998. There are also evaluations of the characters (including official art), stages and cabinet. Kumagai is described as producer of both massive games such as the Rail Chase series and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and sports games such as Decathlete and Winter Heat. At Sega, she is unmatched in the field of cooperative games, which is on full display in Magical Truck Adventure.
