?'s about Psikyo's hybrid shooter/puzzler Gunbarich PCB

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Thanks to Pa,

He delievered as he said he would...got my Gunbarich PCB on Monday, May 7th, 2007. ^_~

Now for some questions about this Gunbarich PCB:

1.) Did Psikyo ever release a console port of Gunbarich or does it remain as an arcade PCB exclusive? (Sure, Gunbarich Rom is playable in Mame & Mame32 emulation if you want to check it out...) ^_~

2.) Are there any hidden "easter eggs" (or tricks) to unlock new bonus content in Gunbarich PCB?

3.) What is the Gunbarich "Maintenance Code" and what does it exactly do functionality-wise?

Thanks in advance for your informative answers as always...

Quick googling revealed the maintenance codes:

* Maintenance Codes :
1-2-3-4-5 Clear Hi-Scores
0-2-9-2-0 Maintenance Mode (Stage Select etc.)
0-2-9-1-0 Clear All Data

Hope you enjoy your new game.

For colour_thief,

Thanks for the Gunbarich Maintenance Codes -- that hidden Stage Select will come in handy... ^_~

I'm really digging this Gunbarich PCB, very cool Arkanoid-inspired gameplay and fused with Psikyo's trademarked sense of humor & stylized aesthetics.

Too bad that Psikyo isn't producing arcade PCBs any longer -- would've like to see what new gameplay elements & graphics that Gunbarich II PCB could only produce..... ^_~

It would seem that the latest Gunbird arcade title aptly named "Gunbird 3" PCB would be the one to look forward to...but that will not happen in our lifetime, will it? ^_~
