Crackout

***Crackout*** (謎の壁 ブロックくずし, *Nazo no Kabe: Block-kuzushi*, Block Break: The Mysterious Wall) is a video game by Konami that was released in Japan for the Family Computer Disk System on December 13, 1986, and in Europe and Australia for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. It is a Breakout clone, with some additional elements not normally found in other games in the genre.

## Gameplay

The object of the game is to clear levels by either destroying all bricks or defeating the enemies.

There are four zones of eleven levels each. The zones are Cubic Zone, Mirror Zone, Tube Zone and Final Zone. This game differs from the original Breakout as it contained enemies on screen that could be hit to gain power ups. Powerups included a parachute to slow the ball down, multiple balls, or projectiles. There were also level warps in the form of Konami Man, who would fly from top to bottom of the play area. There were typically one to three enemies on screen at once, appearing out of a trapdoor in the top corners, or let in through the side walls. Every few levels there was also a boss, ranging from a small dragon to a centipede. The bosses changed colour from Green to Blue to Pink, each time increasing in speed. Each level also contained a hidden letter which made up a password presented at the end of the game (Zone 4 Level 11).

If this was not input correctly, the player restarted the game from the beginning. If the player input the password correctly, they were shown the end credits which consisted of a procession of the enemies from the game. The password is MERRYCHRISTMAS.

Iron Gear

* Robot Mode
* Battleship Mode

Cynthia (weapons system, Robot Mode movement)

Kumi (radar, communications)

The Iron Gear is a robot of Combat Mecha Xabungle and is a Super Robot featured in The Knights of the Multiverse, introduced in Season 1. It was originally created by the organization L.O.S.R. and used by Dr. Cargo as one of the organization's main sources of transporting their "goods". After his defeat in the first season, it was impounded by the EDC, who upgraded it and handed it over to the Crystal Knights during the second season after their main ship, the Glomar, was temporarily, becoming their main home/battleship during the group's trek across the Multiverse in their war with Neo Zeon.

## Armaments

* Thrusters

The Iron Gear's main way of getting around in Land Ship mode is a set of powerful thrusters that allow it to hover over the ground and two more in its feet that allow its robot mode to flight short distances.

During it's time being repaired by the EDC, it's thrusters were given an upgrade that allowed it to hover high in the air like many of their other battleships.

* Super Strength

Thanks to its enormous size, the Iron Gear in robot mode is capable of throwing incredibly deadly punches and kicks, strong enough to easily tear through smaller mechs and punch holes into other battleships. Even its feet stomping is enough to shake the Earth.

* Photon Machine Guns

The Iron Gear has four double-barreled Photon machine gun turrets lined around its hull/arms, and an extra two near the ship's center/on its torso.

* Photon Cannons

The Iron Gear has a pair enormous cannons stationed near the front of the ship's bow/right above its feet.

* Photon Cannon Full Burst

Cynthia taps into all the Iron Gear's guns systems and has them all charge up their Photon power, releasing it in one powerful blast. This is usually reserved for more powerful enemies like battleships or enemies around that size.

## Notes

	+ Height: 128.6 meters
	+ Weight: 49,890 tons
	+ Max Speed: 296 KPH.

* Land Ship Mode:
	+ Length: 168.7 meters
	+ Max Speed: 129.6 KPH

The main idea behind giving the Iron Gear to the Knights in the second season is mainly to represent the team's growing strength. Plus, a battleship would be much more ideal for a Multiversal crusade against a military-like group than essentially a giant flying mobile home. However, it does maintain its status of it being used by a set of antagonists first before the heroes use it, much like the original Xabungle anime (which also acts as a way to demonstrate its power beforehand).

The Iron Gear's Full Burst is mainly based off of Dancouga's DancouCannon formation, given mainly to give the Iron Gear a "cool" finishing move other than using its "bare" hands. It also factors into Cynthia's character/abilities, with how she's able to use electonic systems however she chooses.

Shanoa is a young lady chosen by the order's leader, Barlowe, as the human vessel for Dominus, but just before the ritual is performed, the glyphs are stolen by Shanoa's best (and only) friend and fellow Ecclesia member Albus, disrupting the ritual and apparently causing the loss of Shanoa's emotions and memories. Upon her awakening, Barlowe tells her of the events leading to her memory loss, and orders her to retrieve Albus and the stolen Dominus glyphs. Shanoa then went on on her quest.

This game is sometimes referred to as *Castlevania: The Adventure II*, after the first *Castlevania* game for the Game Boy, to avoid confusion with the similarly-titled *Castlevania II: Simon's Quest*. However, that is not the game's official name.

Cyber Stadium Series: Base Wars

Cover artwork.

***Cyber Stadium Series: Base Wars*** is a baseball video game developed by Konami and published by Ultra Games for the Nintendo Entertainment System released in 1991 in the United States only. It is a futuristic baseball video game where players take control of teams of robots that add an extra gameplay quick to the sport. The ROM cartridge features the ability to save games, whether playing either an individual game or the ten-game pennant race.

## Plot

It's a beautiful day for a brawl game!

$23.4 billion a year for a .250 hitter? Baseball salaries in the 24th Century have rocketed through the O-zone! And team owners are rebelling. They've replaced these greedy players with mighty robots programmed for punishment. The result is Base Wars - a bizarre cross between baseball and gladiatorial combat. It's heroes are an awesome array of mutant machines. Metallic monsters resembling man, half-ton tanks and unidentified fielding objects. But forget about good sportsmanship in the Cyber League. Because in Base Wars, winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. And these mega horsepower sultans of swat are armed to the circuits with enough laser swords, guns and ammunition to spark an interplanetary war. All the elements of baseball are here - pitching, hitting, fielding and base running. Plus a brutal bonus: one-on-one battle royales for base possession.

Choose and name the teams, set the robot rosters, and start swinging the lumber, Jack. Knock heads with another player or test your metal against the Nintendo Entertainment System. Play single games or set up a league pennant race with up to 10 games. Use the money you earn for victories to make repairs and stock up on every unfair advantage known to mechanical man. Including hyper engines, ultra shoulders, iron gloves and more. And show no mercy.

Because if you aren't as tough as steel, you'll never make it to the World Domination Series.

## Gameplay

In a 24th century where baseball team owners are dissatisfied overpaying their players (e.g. US$2.4 billion per year for a lifetime .250 hitter), they have replaced the athletes with armed robots. There are four models of robot to choose from, each optimally suited for specific baseball positions. One of the game's innovations is where upon force plays, the two opposing players fight for possession of the base. Another is the ability to upgrade robots' abilities between pennant games. If a team loses three robots in a game (to destruction from incremental damage), they forfeit the game.

Bonk's Adventure

***Bonk's Adventure*** is a 2D platform game, developed by Red Company and Atlus as the first game in the *Bonk* series, that was released in 1989 in Japan and 1990 in North America for the TurboGrafx-16. In Japan it was released as ***PC Genjin*** (PC原人), a play on the Japanese name for the system, 'PC Engine'. The game was re-released for the TurboGrafx-16 in the U.S. in 1992 on the *Gate of Thunder* 4-in-1 game CD-ROM. The game was later ported to the NES, Amiga and arcade systems under different titles (***FC Genjin*** and ***BC Genjin***). A completely different game with the same name appeared on the Game Boy (under the title ***GB Genjin*** in Japan). The TurboGrafx-16 version was re-released through Nintendo's Virtual Console service and on the PlayStation Store. There is a version for mobile phones in Japan.

## Plot

The game's protagonist is Bonk, a strong and bald caveboy who battles anthropomorphic dinosaurs and other prehistoric enemies. Bonk's mission is to rescue Princess Za (a small pink Pleisiosaur-type reptile) who has been kidnapped by the evil King Drool (a large, green, Tyrannosaurus-type dinosaur). In the arcade version, Bonk is also assisted by a female version of himself.

## Legacy

In 2003 Hudson Soft included a 3D remake of *Bonk's Adventure* in their *Hudson Selection* series of games released exclusively in Japan for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube consoles.

Factor 5, developers of the Amiga port, have made the Amiga version of *BC-Kid* available for free through their company website.

The TurboGrafx-16 version was released for Wii's Virtual Console on November 22, 2006, and according to informal surveys it has been one of the most purchased games.

In March 2008, a version for mobile phones was released in Japan.

Hudson was developing a reboot of the franchise entitled "Bonk: Brink of Extinction" for WiiWare and PlayStation Network. With the closure of Hudson the status and future of this title is uncertain.

On October 19, 2015, it was announced that *Bonk's Adventure* was given a rating on the Virtual Console for Wii U for a future release. After months of rumors, the game finally saw a Wii U release in its TurboGrafx-16 form on July 14, 2016. The PC Engine version of the game (fully in Japanese) will be included on every regional variant of the TurboGrafx-16 Mini set to release exclusively through Amazon on March 19, 2020.

Dance Dance Revolution X2 (2009 video game)

Castlevania: Resurrection

***Castlevania: Resurrection***, canceled in March 2000, was intended to be the seventeenth title of the *Castlevania* series for the short lived Sega Dreamcast console. This would also be the third *Castlevania* game, at the time, to enter the 3D realm.

The game was to focus on Sonia Belmont and a new character, Victor Belmont, an 1800s vampire hunter who had abandoned his lineage. The story is set in 1666, directly before Simon Belmont's adventure in the original *Castlevania*.

Greg Orduyan, the art director for the game, is so far the only staff member on the project to speak of how it would have worked out. Its cancelation is credited to many things, including disagreements between the Japanese and American Konami teams, and the death of the Dreamcast to the announcement of the Sony PlayStation 2.

## Pre E3 demo

On April 4, 2021, a video called Castlevania Resurrection Exists! was uploaded on YouTube on the channel cvr exists (for "Castlevania Resurrection Exists", apparently exclusively created for this purpose) which showcases a fully playable prototype of *Castlevania: Resurrection*. The game allegedly is a pre E3 demo still in an early beta build, dated on November 5, 1999, under the company KCEA (presumably for "Konami Computer Entertainment America") on the disc's label.

The game features five fully playable stages (although allegedly the "Corridor" stage doesn't load), including enemies and hazards (apparently, no damage is yet implemented for the latter).

Upon load, the company screens are displayed (Dreamcast, Sega and Konami), then the title screen appears for only one second and then the game automatically starts already in one of the levels. The available areas are not connected to each other and instead each one can be accessed through the START menu at any time.

The demo also features a boss fight for one of the levels: Medusa. The fight consists of two phases, the first where she slithers around in her serpentine-like body and the second in which she turns into a large head that floats about. Her attack patterns are still very basic, though, and she barely fights back, only spewing poison every once in a while.

The available areas (and other screens) on the "Selection Level Menu" are:

* Logo
* Title
* Courtyard
* Stairs
* Hall
* Corridor
* Chapel

On April 27, 2021, the demo was released to the public via the owner and featured on the Sega Dreamcast Info Preservation Games site for archiving and distribution to the public.
