VHS | GameTech Video (GTV) Vol. 3 Japanese Video Game Video Magazine | ゲームテック・ビデオ 第3号

The third volume of GameTech Video, aka GTV, a Japanese video game magazine in tape form published by Sony Video Software. The main feature of this tape is showing previews and gameplay techniques for action games such as R-Type (PC Engine), Fudou Myouou Den aka Demon Sword (Famicom), Ninja-kun: Ashura's Scroll (Famicom) and more. I hope you enjoy a lot of fast-forwarded footage, because there's a lot here, and it's kind of lame. Of course, this tape also continues the bizarre original "story" of weird cave alien guy and Sofie, the Japanese Max Headroom ripoff chick.

Some maxheadrom vibes on that intro.

Are there any Tapes in this Series that have Battery the Bat as the host ???

[@IGFTWDump]

Man, you love Battery, and I don't blame you. As far as I know, he didn't show up on any of these GTV tapes--only later projects, like a separate GTV series (maybe only one volume?) and those Perfect/Mario the Video ones.
