Chapter 137: Zaboru's Plan for Handheld

Tuesday, 31 December 1991

As the final day of 1991 dawned, Zaboru sat in his office, deep in thought. He was strategizing his next move, pondering the direction of his future consoles. His 8-bit home console, ZEPS, was already making waves in the gaming industry in Japan, and he intended to push it further before transitioning into the next generation. If all went according to plan, he would introduce the world to a powerful 16-bit console by late 1993 or early...

Chapter 136: Zaboru Decorating ZEPS Offices 

Monday, 30 December 1991

Even though it's still Holiday , Zaboru arrived at the ZAGE offices very early in the morning, carrying a large stack of his artwork and printed pictures. He had taken the time to enlarge them into poster-sized prints and carefully framed them, ready to be displayed throughout the office. Each piece was a tribute to the journey of ZAGE, capturing the essence of their accomplishments, games, and milestones.

His first destination was a special room in...

But as the season was nearing its end, he was already getting excited about ...

Chapter 134: Brainstorming for Next Games

Friday, December 27, 1991

As always on holidays, Zaboru worked alone in his office. The usual hum of activity from his development team was absent, leaving only the faint sound of his pen scratching against his notebook and the occasional clatter of his keyboard as he typed. Today was another day of planning and strategizing for the future of ZAGE.

Ayumi would be coming later to bring him lunch, as was their routine. It was a small but welcome break in his otherwise inten...

Chapter 133 Akechi Studio and Idle Talk

After finishing his conversation with Kazu, Zaboru sat down again with Akechi, curious about his plans.

"Akechi-san, what kind of game do you want to make anyway?" Zaboru asked.

Akechi smiled and nodded. "A game like Legend of Akechi and Ninja Gaiden, but with my own twist."

Zaboru raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Akechi grinned and said "You’re cruel, you know that? You introduced me to Legend of Akechi, and at the time, I thought it was the best game ever. The fact t...

Chapter 132 Zaboru meet with Akechi-team

After Zaboru had fun with Ayumi at his office, he drove her back home late at night before returning to his house and getting some much-needed rest.

Next Morning – Thursday, December 26, 1991
Zaboru prepared for his meeting with Akechi. The latter had something important to discuss, and Ayumi, along with her driver, Junjou, was scheduled to pick him up from his house.
Not long after, Ayumi and Junjou arrived, and Zaboru hopped into the car. The drive to Akechi’s location ...

Chapter 131: Endo Meets Gun-Nac’s Hidden Boss!

After conquering EOP Embodiment Of Pain, the hidden boss of Ninja Gaiden, Endo was still hungry for more. His next challenge? Testing out a theory he had been obsessing over for weeks—defeating every boss in Gun-Nac without landing a single hit for four minutes, allowing Zabo-Man to deliver the final blow.

“I’m definitely taking down The Alien Phase 2 with Zabo-Man today!” he declared excitedly, gripping his controller as he booted up the game. His fingers twitched in ant...

Chapter 130: Spending in The Mall and Amusement Park

After Ayumi, Zaboru, and his family arrived at the mall, Zaboru wasted no time heading straight to a clothing store. He wanted to buy new clothes for Ayumi, his mother, and Sanika. As expected, Keiko took her time carefully selecting the best outfits for both Sanika and Ayumi, ensuring that everything she picked was stylish and well-fitted. Meanwhile, Zaboru and Zanichi sat on a nearby waiting couch, watching the shopping spree unfold.

Zanichi let out a long sigh and smirked. "Gr...

Chapter 129: Zaboru's Holiday

Wednesday, December 25, 1991

At the Zage office, the once-busy atmosphere had now settled into silence. All employees had already left for their holiday break, with plans to return on January 2st. Zaboru had encouraged them to avoid overtime, insisting they spend time with their families. However, Yugo, ever the workaholic, had expressed his desire to stay and assist Zaboru through the holiday season. Zaboru, with a small chuckle, firmly refused and instead asked Yuna to escort h...

Wednesday 25 December 1991

The holiday season had finally arrived! Endo, the second-year high schooler who had deep discussions with Kumogi and Wataru about Gun-Nac in McDonald at Monday, grinned with excitement. "This time, I’ll definitely beat Jashin without taking any damage!" he declared to himself.

Endo wasn’t just any gamer—he was an elite player, one of those insane gamers who had mastered every challenge thrown his way. He had conquered all the ZEPS games, enc...

Chapter 127: Zero Suit Samus Unlocked!

Kumogi continued his mission to conquer Metroid, but this time, he had a different goal in mind—speed. He had already mapped out a strategy to clear the game as quickly as possible. This meant skipping unnecessary upgrades, like the Wave Beam, to save precious seconds. He also utilized an unconventional shortcut—by intentionally getting Samus killed, he could respawn at the starting area and cut down on backtracking. Every move he made was calculated, and with each passing minute, ...

Chapter 126 Kumogi Finally Beats Metroid!

Wednesday, December 25, 1991

Kumogi grinned from ear to ear as he woke up. After the grueling work he had gone through yesterday, he hadn’t even been able to play ZEPS, but now the long-awaited holiday had finally arrived! He had time off until January 2, 1992!

“Hehe! I’m definitely beating Metroid today!” he declared with excitement.

After quickly washing up, grabbing a light breakfast, and tidying his room, he prepared himself for a long and intense gaming s...

Chapter 125: Preparation for Z-Man Sentai Game AD

Tuesday, December 24, 1991

Zaboru sat in his office, deep in thought. Today was a crucial day—he was planning to record the theme song for Choujin Sentai Z-Man, a song adapted from Jetman, one of his favorite Sentai themes from his previous life. Of course, he couldn't just copy it directly, so he made some tweaks, refining the melody and lyrics to fit Z-Man. This song wouldn't just be for the game—it would also serve as the main ...

Chapter 124: Kumogi Lost in Metroid!

Kumogi grinned as he sipped his coffee, ready to dive into Metroid. He opened the beautifully designed Metroid box, admiring the contents inside: the game cartridge, a Metroid guidebook, ZEPS Volume 4, and a sleek black and gray Z card. His eyes fell on a strange phrase printed on the card: “I might glance at you occasionally, wishing you good luck.”

Kumogi raised an eyebrow. “Hmm? Is Zabo-man only a cameo in this game? Whatever.” Shrugging it off, he inserted the cartrid...

Chapter 123: Kumogi Playing Gun-Nac 2

Kumogi then grabbed a bite at the nearby McDonald's, but his mind kept thinking about how to beat the Crazy Crescent Moon boss! As he was munching on his burger, he overheard a conversation behind him.

"Hey bro, did you beat Gun-Nac yet?" said a high schooler with short hair.

His friend, a slightly long-haired boy, sighed. "No, it's really hard! Especially that freaking moon! How are you even supposed to beat it?"

Kumogi grinned and nodded to himself. ‘I know your p...

Chapter 122 Kumogi Playing Gun-Nac! 1

Monday 23 December 1991

Kumogi, a salaryman with a deep love for guns and tactical games like Metal Gear, was beyond excited. He had just purchased two games—Gun-Nac and Metroid—from a nearby electronics store. As someone who enjoyed shooting games and high-tech themes, he wasn’t particularly interested in Ninja Gaiden, which had been released alongside these titles. Today was special—he had taken a rare day off from work just to immerse himself in these games.

Afte...

Chapter 119: Sakaki Playing Ninja Gaiden 2

After clearing Act 5 and defeating Bloody Malth, Ryu Hayabusa continues his journey, now entering the brutal and unforgiving stages of Act 6. The difficulty spikes dramatically, with enemies wielding machine guns and green ninjas who somersault through the air before launching deadly strikes at Ryu. The precise timing needed to dodge their attacks makes progress challenging, forcing Sakaki to retry multiple times.

Sakaki grips his controller tightly. “Damn! This is way harder t...

Chapter 118: Sakaki Plays Ninja Gaiden 1

After the prologue ended, Sakaki eagerly took control of Ryu Hayabusa, navigating through the dark streets and rooftops of the first stage. ZEPS version of Ninja Gaiden blended the NES storyline and setting with the refined gameplay mechanics of the Master System version, making for a uniquely fluid and challenging experience.

As he moved forward, slashing enemies and leaping from platform to platform, Sakaki marveled at how responsive and smooth the controls felt.
