26: Called Game is the rather oddly titled manga short story that appears in the first of the two Appleseed graphical encyclopedias, Appleseed ID. Apparently written (and set) in a time period between The Scales of Prometheus and the unfinished Book Five, Called Game is a satisfyingly tautly scripted, well illustrated tale. Despite its small size, and delayed release in North America, the installment is surprisingly packed with references to other volumes, background data, and plot clarifications, making it a very important part of the book saga.
