What is Gundam Operating Simulator Arcade Machine?

[Siren2011]

Anyone have any screens for this game? I checked all Arcade databases and nothing fucking comes up. The detail on that mobile suit's exterior looks wonderful, and I am already starving to play this game once I move to Japan in a year or so. Whether or not Hey! Arcade or anyone like them has it on the floor, however, is another story entirely.

Can anyone provide me with details on how it plays? Other than the fact that you play the game using a twin stick, it would be wonderful to hear whether or not this is anything like Gundam Side Story 0079: Blue Destiny Trilogy for the Sega Saturn. The only thing I DO know is it was made by Banpresto in 2005.

Gundam Battle Operating Simulator (G-B.O.S) is a Gundam FPS.

The gameplay is beyond me.
Senjou no Kizuna seems to be way better than this.

Wow, that is impressive. Thanks bro!

Say, where on earth did you get that pic from? Could you provide a link, please?

Thats a collage of pics I've found on google.
Here's a review from Game Watch with a couple of screenshots.

Yeah, I'd say that game is old news. I don't even see it anymore in game centers. It's all Senjou no Kizuna now, with its wraparound viewscreen. I love playing that game.

I've hit about 30-40 arcades in my tour of Tokyo / Chiba, and I've never seen one of those.

.... soo.. uh.. Good luck!

I know it sounds crazy, Rancor. But that makes me want it even more.

Trust me. If you come here and play Senjou no Kizuna ("Bonds of the Battlefield"), you'll forget all about this other game, which appears to be conceptually a prototype of sorts. I think I may have seen this game about 6 or 7 years ago in Japan (I just remember the big plastic Gundam head in the arcade). The Senjou game is far more immersive and involving, by the looks of the pictures linked to above.

The one thing I am skeptical about is, out of the 7 or 8 pictures of the game, not ONE has shown anything other than a barren city with lifeless buildings, no signs of destruction, or even a single mobile suit -ally or enemy- on the battlefield.

The dome screen it is. But something tells me I shouldn't completely forget about this game...You might be totally on the mark, Greg, but my stubborn nature will only accept firsthand experience. I gotta play this thing to know for sure.
