GemuBaka readers and viewers will have likely seen the occasional piece on music and rhythm games, but these have largely fixated on more recent arcade releases. Those with a keen eye on my Round One videos will have noticed short clips of game play on Konami’s beat mania IIDX – which is now on its […]
Konami’s 1992 arcade release X-Men probably doesn’t need much of an introduction. It was during that year that I happened to be in our area arcade, and someone had abandoned a game of X-Men arcade, leaving Nightcrawler to idle on the screen.

We later received a version of the game on the Nintendo Entertainment System, but the smashed-down product into an 8-bit cart […]
I admit I don’t have the time or patience for GunPla (‘Gun’dam ‘Pla’stic model kits), but with so many characters made available, they are of particular interest.
