Are you up for another unique game? I would be too but like usual this is only in Japan for now although it is a Sega title so perhaps there is a tiny possibility of it being seen elsewhere. The name of the game isn’t clear – the translator says it’s “Metallic-bath-and-low-preservation” which is Japanese for who-knows-what, but despite that the game involves using Lego-like blocks that the player takes and stacks together in front of the monitor and I think that some orange characters on the monitor will then climb up the stack you create to probably reach the top, while avoiding demons. If that is the case then the concept is sort of like the Atari 2600 title Save Mary but with the unique twist in how it is controlled.The only thing I’d be concerned about as an operator are people stealing the blocks so they’d need to be cheap and easy to replace.
This is the sort of thing I have talked about in the past – why limit games to the standard fare of racers and light-gun games when so much more can be done using arcades? Even when it’s gimmicky, it’s still refreshing to see them try new ideas of interactive entertainment.

man, those blocks would be gone almost instantly, even in arcades in the USA.
I doubt that the Japanese would have problems with bored teens stealing the blocks.
