Popful Mail is a side-scrolling action-adventure game, originally made by Falcom (developers of the Ys series) for NEC's PC-88 home computer, and then ported to the PC-98, Sega CD and PC Engine CD systems. Working Designs worked on the localization for the North American Sega CD version. There's also a little-known Super Famicom version which is essentially a Reformulated Game due to the remixed area layouts and some plot structure differences, but it still recognizably contains the same overall story as other incarnations.It stars a charmingly inept elven bounty hunter named Popful Mail (think Lina Inverse with Pointy Ears), who's spent much of her adventuring life chasing after the notorious criminal Nuts Cracker. She manages to corner him, but is only able to retrieve Nuts' head (as his body runs away from her during their melee), which is practically worthless. Frustrated, she takes her trophy and wanders toward a town, where she learns of an even better bounty — 2,000,000 gold for the capture of an evil old wizard named Muttonhead. |

Chainmail Bikini: Popful Mail's outfit. In fact her name is practically a poor translation of the term ("mail" as in a type of armor, and "popful" aptly describes its shape). |

Money Spider: Every normal enemy coughs up either gold or a healing item. There are two specific mummies in the Mine, who drop Gold Bullions that sell for 500 gold each! They're there because you will need four Gold Bullions to complete a required quest. |

comment |
Shout-Out: Plenty. With this being a Working Designs adaptation, it's to be expected. Sven's introduction is filled with these puns: "Listen to me now and fear me pretty soon... I am no kindergarten cop! The sissy-man Venuncio could not teach you a lesson, so I have come to terminate you! I am the predator, and you are my prey. This little skirmish will be your last action, hero person. It's judgment day!" |

comment |
Serial Escalation: The events of the game eventually go from a mere bounty hunting operation adventure into a full-scale questing crusade against a diabolical cabal bent on the domination not just the world but all of existence. It's when you get to the lands of Volcano and into the ruins stage does the game give greater detail on the importance of the great war of old and why its events are far-reaching and relevant to what Mail and friends are facing on their journey. |

Graphics-Induced Super-Deformed: The original PC-88 and 98, plus PC-Engine releases didn't have the hardware to render the tall, busty Mail on the cover. Characters tend to be small if nicely animated. The Sega CD release averts this. |

One-Winged Angel: Sven does this twice. After fighting him midway through the Zoth Shrine, you fight him again at the end as he transforms into a large sword-wielding beast called Chargon. When you face him in Fort Fryght, he's morphed into a large Fire Golem. Also, Draquin, the evil penguin boss of Chilly. After defeating him in his one-eyed serpentine form, he invokes the Overlord's powers to morph into a two-headed dragon. |
