Did you know that Crazy Balloon was going to have an arcade sequel? It got cancelled but it's remains became The New Zealand Story (info from the Japanese PSP Taito Memories booklet's Crazy Balloon section) afaik these are the only images of the cancelled game 🎈>🥝

This week's Arcade Archives release is Taito's 1980 balloon action game 'Crazy Balloon'. Speedrun your wobbly balloon through a variety of mazes where touching anything is instant death #クレイジーバルーン #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ #タイトー

Been busy all day so not much time to play Strategy X or even catch the stream but I at least shambled my way onto the 1st page in 13th. Really fun Caravan as there's lots of randomness but very low scoring variance EIYO575 & パブロ took the wins #ストラテジーX #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ

In another 20yrs this will still be empty. I did watch 3 episodes of Hi Score Girl & whilst the game facts were at least interesting / correct, the actual show was absolute trash I did watch / rewatch a few 80s-90s OVAs & a couple of episodes of 80s HnK if that counts for anything?

In the following weeks Konami thanked the industry for the favourable reception their new games had received & reminded buyers of the risks in buying bootleg, modified & pirated versions of their games #ストラテジーX #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ #コナミ

Konami's booth at the 19th AM Show in 1981. Seven Konami games were displayed & Strategy X was codenamed Type 112 #ストラテジーX #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ #コナミ

Strategy X A used PCB in 1991 was 20,000円 In 1995 it would cost you 45,000円 In 2025 the Hamster port will cost 837円 If only Hamster set the prices for all things

Konami's trade advertisement for Strategy X. Not only is it a 'Konami Super Machine', it is also an 'Exciting Video Game' And in all honesty, they're not wrong. It's a novel little game that was ahead of it's time #ストラテジーX #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ

We're going back to 1981 this week as Konami's tank based Strategy X comes to Arcade Archives Traverse the stages, defeat the enemies & keep an eye on your fuel gauge #ストラテジーX #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ
