History


Arcade Video game published 32 years ago:

Gondomania (c) 1987 Data East.

Export release. Game developed in Japan. See the original Japanese version for more information: "Makyou Senshi".

- TRIVIA -

When localizing the game, the American translators didn't think people would understand its Japanese name, so they named it "Gondomania" after the designer of the game (Y. Gondo).
