I. - Introduction
This FAQ's purpose is to provide a complete list of the techniques
available to the four main robots in Remote Control Dandy.
Hey all, this is my first FAQ for none other than the painfully
obscure and little known title Remote Control Dandy. If you're
unaware, RCD is a PSX title released in Japan in late 1999.
Like so many other Japanese PSX games it has you playing as
a teenage boy who pilots giant robots to battle a persistant
and decidedly evil alien foe. What separates Dandy from its
robot bashing peers however is the ingenius control scheme
executed by its developers.
Anyway, this is mostly rambling now.
If you're reading this FAQ you probably have
the game and are familiar with what makes it special.
Hope this helps you out =]
