[汎用黒光弐号]

I would say its called "Hanyou Kurobikari Nigou". but it's kind of little bit strange.
Also there is almost no infos about it on the net.

Running that through a translater gets:

"General-purpose black light two"

From what I gather, I guess this is a dezaemon sample game?

Anyway, middle two characters (黒光) is the one that I'm least sure about how the Japanese read it.  Assuming <on> pronuciation, it'd be "kokukou" -- thus "hanyou kokukou nigou".  But then again, the Japanese have screwed up rules (or lack thereof) for reading kanji, so I can be totally wrong.  It's gotta be the only language where two fluent people, reading out the exact same character(s), can potentially sound out something completely different from each other.

Okay, somebody get a native Japanese person to read the thing.  Now I'm curious myself.  :-k

Actualy, it's a sample game, but a hidden one.

A hidden game, amongst one of two cds (the other of which has far more games) , as part of an obscure as hell instalment in the series.

Getting info on it is like trying to solve the Kennedy assasination.

@termis, as I already wrote it above, it must be "kurobikari", means the pronunciation  is in kunyomi. I tripple checked it with working colleagues :)
