Gals Panic (ギャルズパニック, Gyaruzu Panikku) is a series of Japanese eroge (erotic video games) by Kaneko. The gameplay in the Gals Panic series is similar to Taito's puzzle game Qix, with the objective being to uncover backgrounds depicting women in a sexual nature.[1] Many clones of Gals Panic were made after the original game achieved popularity in the 1990s.
Gals Panic
[edit]In the first game, the round is over when the at least 80% of the silhouette is uncovered. The Japanese girl in the background undresses in the filled-in areas, while on the playing area one large and several small enemies hinder the undressing process. There are various symbols as bonuses. In addition to useful effects such as the asteroid storm that is used for defeating enemy sprites, there are also loser symbols that can transform the girl into a frog or octopus. There is also a bonus game.[1]
The game was released in November 1990 published by Taito and was released by Kaneko USA in America in March 1991.[2]
Gals Panic II
[edit]Gals Panic II was released in 1993 with a number of enhancements,[3] including an eight-way joystick, stereo audio and the Card Dispenser option. The gauge is now changed to a time-based one.[4] Mainichi Communications released a Windows 95 and PC-98 version for home computers in December 1996, distributed via bookstores, under the name Gal Pani II.[5]
Gals Panic 3
[edit]Gals Panic 3 was released in October 1995[2] and runs on Kaneko's Super Nova arcade system. The drawings of the girls are more realistic than before.[6]
