>ah gotcha, i knew there was a correlation but didn't remember much else.

I mean... it's a pretty obscure franchise all things considering. The anime never aired outside of Japan during it's original run from 1987 to, uh... 1987. Sega did publish both games for the Master System in North America. But the Master System sold like shit compared to the NES. Back then, very it was not common knowledge that it was based on some anime series outside of Japan. Michael Jackson did immortalize the lead character JJ in his and Janet Jackson's Scream music video.
