2 as Toaplan's final game, which seems like an odd swan song after years of sweet-ass shooters - all on the opposite end of the "cute" scale as Snow Bros., mind you - but it really isn't so weird for a game with such a weird gameography to begin with. It was most prominent as an NES game published by Capcom, but it started as an arcade game by Toaplan, makers of many legendary shoot-em-ups. See? It's inclusive, and totally realistic, to boot!
And as a matter of fact, there's plenty of eye candy for everybody. Of course, it wouldn't have nearly the same appeal, would it? And it wouldn't be getting so much attention, both back then and now with the announcement of the remake. It shows that if you take out the suggestive material, you can still have a fairly fun game on your hands. As soon as the third stage, the game starts taking an absurd turn as it introduces cows and aliens.
It makes you wonder what kind of HD embarrassment the remake will bring!ĭespite the groan-worthy sexism going on, Dancing Eyes doesn't really take itself seriously. In the context of 1996, the game also looks amazing. that's worth a multi-page psychology paper right there, but nonetheless, it was one of the game's unique selling points. And in some cases, you can see the girls "breathing" as they patiently stand there waiting for their clothes to be destroyed. But Dancing Eyes was the only such game to use real-time polygons, and Namco used that to their advantage by letting you walk all around the model as you cleared the grid. On the surface, Dancing Eyes is not original - plenty of other girlie arcade games, like the Gals Panic series, employed a variation of Qix's gameplay to get the player to slowly reveal a picture of a scantily-clad woman. Your "reward" for beating the stage is to (typically) watch the model prance around in her skivvies or otherwise play around with the "set" she's on. You don't have to connect the ends - as long as you complete a whole shape, you can watch it get cleared away. You do this by holding the action button to set down a peg, then run along the grid trying to complete a whole shape while avoiding the enemies honing in on you. Most of the time, though, it's going to be women whom you must disrobe by clearing the panels on the grid. In it, you control a cute little monkey, running along a grid that's laid over some surface that needs to be broken away, be it a schoolgirl's uniform, a magician's box, or a tree stump with mischievous twins inside. But there's perhaps no better time for it to appear, given what I said at the start. Namco recently announced a remake of Dancing Eyes, which is, so far, a Japan-only game for the PS3. In 1996, using their expertise in 3D polygonal graphics, they produced the arcade action game Dancing Eyes (no relation to the Gary Stewart song. But when it came to out-and-out pandering, Namco was ahead of the pack. But there's a touch of truth to it, as the number of ways you can ogle cartoon girls in games is larger than ever. of the Japanese game industry these days, at least if you go by the stereotypes. Gratuitous titillation seems to be the M.O. And for better or worse, quite a few did.

Why just arcade games? Because while arcades gave us plenty of amazing games that are now classic franchises, it wasn't unlike the PC market, where any ol' group of people could make and distribute them, and with that sort of freedom, crazy ideas had a better chance of making it through. This article originally appeared on .Īrcade Games That Time Forgot is a feature about weird, brilliant, kooky, terrible, or just interesting arcade games.
