About Backup
Graffiti is art. However, graffiti as an act of vandalism is a crime.
Every state/province has vandalism laws that apply to graffiti, and
local entities such as cities and counties have anti-graffiti ordinances.
Violation of these laws can result in a fine, probation, or a jail sentence.
EGA does not condone the real life act of vandalism in any form.

About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorien-
tation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss
of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or
striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit
room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and afety Information. The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important safet and health information that ou should read
and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox
games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of
game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the
static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played.
Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game
on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video
games can be safely played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this
information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the
manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance,
rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

Yeah!! This is DJ Professor K,
baby, the master of mayhem, you know
what I'm sayin'— bringing you another Tokyo under-
ground pirate radio broadcast from — Jet et Radio! I'm gonna
bust into your head through your cute lil' ears and blow your minds with
my sexy voice and out-of-sight sounds! Those of you prone to nosebleeds
should keep those tissues handy, suckas!
Tokyo is bein' oppressed by the Rokkaku Group, a mega-enterprise headed by
Rokkaku Gouji. Rokkaku is using his money and influence to mess with every-
thing: industry, society, and even our culture. And he's even got his eyes set
on City Hall.
Lately, Rokkaku's been shaking down the government, passin' that "Rokkaku
Law" crap, and even buying off the police department. This law ain't nothin'
but garbage. It's just some selfish little punk's way of trying to show he's a
big man. Rokkaku and his gang are tryin' to stomp out our culture left and
right. They don't give a rip about our rights; all they care about is profit. And
some spineless fools have already become flunkies in their
diabolical scheme. You'd better believe they're listening in
on this broadcast. But even
in all this heat, there's a group of young
kids who've been tearin' up the streets — I'm talking
about the Rudies. These kids have set out to bury Tokyo in graffiti.
And now they're all wrapped up in their own little territorial tug-of-wars.
Lately, Tokyo's been on one baaad trip. The attack on the record store in
Chuo treet, prowlers in Dogenzaka Hill, low-lifes spreading vicious rumors,
the mysterious blackout on 99th treet. And who should be following them
around but the Rokkaku Group's watchdog, the Rokkaku Police! With the
Rokkaku Expo just around the corner, the crackdowns are only getting
tighter.
My heart ain't pounded like this since my first date and I was so nervous, I
forgot to wear my underwear, baby!
This ain't the time to be sitting around sipping afternoon tea! The game's
gonna start soon and y'all are gonna be the ones making the plays!

I am the navigator of the underground
pirate radio station Jet Set Radio,
DJ Professor K. With my sound and
talks, I’m gonna turn the entire city
of Tokyo into a dance hall, baby!
The leader and
founder of team GG.
A self-styled genius
with a spirited mind.
A newcomer to GG. He
loves to tell a lie more
than anything else.
Distrustful guy, eh...?
A junk robot that was
picked up from garbage
by Corn. He is a foul-
mouthed and cocky
machine, but he can tell
you how to operate and
give you practice drills.
Here’s the mysterious
kid that appeared in the
streets of Tokyo. The
reason for his appearance
in Tokyo, maybe there’s
reason, maybe not...
Member of GG. She’s a
perverse lady with the
tendency to abandon a
guy in 10 minutes after
winning his heart.
A private police force of Rokkaku
Group. You’ll be targeted if you’re
in the way of Rokkaku Group’s
activity, man.
A psycho inspector of Rokkaku
Police Division 0. Nothing good
happens when you get involved
with him.
He’s the big man of
mega-enterprise Rokkaku
Group, ruling on industry, society, and culture of
Tokyo. Lately he’s tryin’ to start Rokkaku Expo. That’s
terrible, man.
