I thought RPO was a gamer pastiche of American Psycho. The way the books talk obsessively about brands and consumerism is extremely similar, right down to the way it veers suddenly into nostalgic reviews of media that the narrator uses to construct his personality. It’s uncanny. Haven’t been able to play Capcom’s 1987 arcade classic Black Tiger, known in Japan as Black Dragon and exquisitely scored by Tamayo Kawamoto, since.
