Super Robot Wars/OG2/Ver.A
Super Robot Wars OG2: Ver. A
This is a ROM hack that swaps Lamia's and Axel's roles in the story. The "A" in the hack's name stands for "Axel". For Axel fans who were disappointed with his non-playablilty in OG2, this hack may be worth a look.
The hack changes several things:
- Axel and his Soulgain are playable.
- Soulgain's stats are appropriate for that of a playable unit. http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj159/AdditionalPylons9001/Soulgain-VerA_zpsc10e57dd.png
- Lamia becomes an antagonist.
- Some pilots start in different units. For example, Bullet starts in a Gespenst Mk.II S instead of a Huckebein Mk.II.
- Pilots who start in mass-produced units start out with additional weaponry.
- New BGM added to the game.
- And a number of other things, including changes to the storyline. You'll have to play it to find out what those changes are!

There also exists an alternate version of the hack that can be downloaded here (Mediafire).
Differences from the other version detailed above include:
- An altered opening cutscene featuring Lamia instead of Axel.
- Axel pilots Vysaga instead of Soulgain. Lamia as an enemy has Angelg.
- Bullet starts with his own Huckebein Mk.II instead of a Gespenst Mk.II S, as in the non-hacked version of OG2.
- Additional new BGM is present.
- Shu and the Granzon, Ouka and the Rapiecage, the Wildschwein and the Wildraubiter are playable units
- And possibly more differences as well. More information is needed.
The hack is only available for the Japanese version of the game. As such, I have provided a few menu translations below that ought to be helpful to those who haven't played the English version of OG2.
