Iconic Scenes That Didn't Make the Games

About
Iconic Scenes That Didn't Make the Games (ゲーム中に出なかった名場面, gēmu-chū ni denakatta-mei bamen) was a recurring segment featured in various Alicesoft user club newsletters created by staff member Purin. True to its name, the segment included original artwork drawn by Purin depicting important events relating to characters he designed that were not represented within the games the characters appeared in. This artwork was always accompanied by a short description of the scene and sometimes also by commentary from Purin. Many of the scenes from games in the Rance Series would go on to be incorporated into future installments of the series, either through visual homage or complete recreation.

First appearing in the debut issue of the Alicesoft User Club Newsletter, the segment appeared in 18 of the magazine's 36 issues and was one of its most frequent features. Beginning with its appearance in the 23rd issue, the segment dropped its name but otherwise remained the same in its content, with Purin continuing to refer to the drawings as iconic scenes regardless. As Purin became more active as a game director, he had less time to contribute artwork for the newsletter and the segment began to be released more sporadically. Two additional editions of the feature were released following the end of the User Club Newsletter's publication, with the first appearing in the newsletter's successor Alice's Battery Bomb and the second appearing in its third incarnation, which resumed using its original name.

Colored versions of the scenes featured in issues 3, 14, 23, and 25 of the original user club newsletters were included as part of the 20th Century Alice commemorative artbook while a colored version of the scene featured in issue 29 was released as a card in the Kichikuou Rance Trading Card Game.
