Blue Mary was first in the poll from Gamest. Nevertheless, the game garnered awards from "Gamest" magazine. It was the successor to the then popular magazine "Gamest" by the bankrupt publisher "Shinseisha". She was named the best arcade game character of 1997 by Japanese magazine "Gamest". In "Gamest"'s 1997 Heroes Collection, Kim was voted as the staff's tenth favorite character. In "Gamest"'s 1997 Heroes Collection, Robert was voted as the staff's 46th favorite character. Pam Grier was the gamest actor I ever worked with. A "Gamest Mook" series guide book (GMC-30) was published by Shinseisha on April 30, 1996. "Gamest" created a team composed of Terry, Blue Mary and Joe Higashi.
