+The Bandai RX-78 Gundam has two slots where you can plug in a ROM cart or an additional device, like a
+printer interface. The system was capable of loading software from these ROM carts, or from a cassette
+tape through audio line-in ports to use with tape recorders; these ports were present in the BS Basic,
+Animation Graphics, Creative Graphics, Japanese Word Processor and Z80 Assembler carts. The system could
+use up to two carts or devices at the same time.
+
+There were a total of 20 games released for the system, plus educational and productivity software, and peripheral
+devices. One additional game and three expansion cards were announced but never released. The official translations
+printed in the game carts or tapes is used below where available. Names in brackets are unofficial translations.

+*  Sekigahara did not include an overlay, instead it included a reference sheet with game information.
+** Donjara, a version of Mahjong for kids, found in an auction, is completely undocumented and is not mentioned in
+   any RX-78 game lists on the internet.
+
+The Battery Backup RAM, Music Interface and Floppy Disk Drive expansion were listed as being in development (企画中) in
+a product catalog, but were apparently never released.
+
+Photos of キム・キム・ダン・ダン (Kim Kim Dan Dan) are also shown in that same catalog, but the game was never released on the
+RX-78. A version of the game was released for the Mitsubishi Multi-8.
