Power DoLLS (25th Century Freedom Fighters) was the last game Megatech published, unlike the others it was not "hentai" or "adult." Cynics say exactly this fact was Megatech's downfall. I found one fan site, but it is gone by now. It seems to have been a good game though, better than Metal & Lace.
Megatech's Blurb
Man has finally colonized space and you're a resident in the colony of Omni. In the mood for a revolution? The govermnent of Omni has declared independence and earth forces are on their way to quell this revolt. You have the distinction of commanding the Power DoLLS (Detachment of Limited Line Service), a special strike force comprised of all-female members from all the armed forces. At their disposal is an amazing arsenal of Omni's most advanced fighting machines, Power Loaders. Large and extremely mobile, these thirty-foot-tall robots pack as much firepower as a squad of tanks. And you'll need all the firepower you can carry 'cause you're outnumbered ten to one. Choose the Power DoLLS for the missions and arm their vehicles accordingly in this intense futuristic war sim. What they pack will ultimately determine the outcome of the mission.

- Dutch site claiming to still sell it (for 41 Euro!), incorrectly listing it under role playing games.
- Jennifer Diane Reitz thought even back in 1996 that the game was showing its age. "Acceptable to Mech and Manga Otaku's but may not inspire the average wargame buff."
- POWER DoLLS WORLD is a Japanese fansite with lots of graphics. Last updated 2005-06-29.
