Arino's challenge, should he choose to accept it, is to take down a global conspiracy in Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode. The star of Top Secret Episode is Duke Togo, codename: Golgo 13, a professional assassin who finds himself entwined in a dastardly plot which threatens the entire planet. With the clock ticking Arino will only have one shot to foil the plan and save the world.
JJ Club One Zero Zero (or is it 100?) has been selected as the TamaGe for the 100th broadcast of the show. The number 100 is actually a misnomer as the mammoth amusement center has 125 arcade machines and 20 different activities to enjoy. Spoilt for choice, Arino settles for playing some Irritating Stick and having a Virtual On battle against a little boy.
Arino is lured into Inoko MAX's tiny apartment where the AD explains the premise of this season's new segment. Shocking Videos: MAX, as he's called it, will feature the most shocking footage from the world of videos games which Arino will be forced to endure. First up are 4 shocking scenes from 3 games, Excitebike, Balloon Fight and Elevator Action.
Arino has traditionally been very good when it comes to puzzle games but how will he fair when he challenges the competitive Super Puyo Puyo? He may have been feeling confident from the outset but that soon changes when he is informed that today's challenge will be against the hardest difficulty.
Kids both young and old can enjoy the candy store featured in today's TamaGe. As soon as he arrives Arino is hounded by children as he tries to take in some Metal Slug before heading inside to spend his remaining money on yummy goodies.
Things get extreme in Shocking Videos: MAX when Inoko MAX shows Arino footage from Ghosts 'N Goblins, Super Mario 64, Ice Climber and Mach Rider.
Koshien takes its name after Koshien Stadium, the regular home of Japan’s National High School Baseball Championship. All Arino has to do is complete the tournament in the game, a six-team gauntlet. For the occasion, AP Ishida will be keeping score, and AD Katayama follows by giving Arino a baseball cap.
A game that Arino is surprisingly unfamiliar with, GeGeGe Kitaro, will be his challenge for today. The first 16-bit instalment in what is a decades old media franchise follows the hero Kitaro as he tackles a variety of creatures from Japanese folklore. Arino will be hoping that its horrifying aesthetic doesn't reflect its difficulty as he attempts to traverse the game's 19 stages to reach the ending.
The Shinjuku based Game Center Mikado is where Arino is headed for his latest arcade visit. The massive selection of games inside allows Arino to indulge in both retro and modern classics and he even has the chance to impress with his DJing skills.
Arino is forced to avert his eyes from clips of Ninja Warriors, Mega Man, Section Z and Wizards & Warriors in the latest edition of Shocking Videos: MAX.
As a hint of things to come, Arino challenges Yuji Horii's Hokkaido Serial Murders. Horii, who would go on to create the Dragon Quest series, imbued this adventure classic with a strong story and sense of atmosphere and it's up to Arino to crack the case.
In the latest piece of Game Center CX news we get a report from another Fuji TV public event. The staff were all there to promote the new 24 Hour Challenge DVD and Arino even took on members of the public in Super Puyo Puyo.
It's the segment everyone is talking about, Shocking Videos: MAX. This time Arino diverts his eyes from shocking moments in Super Arabian, Adventure Of Xandra, Faxanadu and City Connection.
Horii’s game career began in 1983, but before that, he was kicking around as a freelance writer. But his love of games led him to enter an Enix game design contest in 1982, the same contest that Koichi Nakamura, another part of the Dragon Quest team, would enter. Horii’s entry was a game called Love Match Tennis. Both his and Nakamura’s games ended up published, and from there, Horii was in it to win it.
