I talk a LOT about Konami arcade games on the channel and I talk a lot about weird janky video games on the channel...so its pretty easy to get excited to take a look at Action Deka! It's one part beat em up game, one part lightgun game...and all parts obscure gaming! Plus it came out in 2008 so it feels like it qualifies for retro gaming at this point in time!

Hello and welcome to "The Unported Playlist"

So we decided to extend this playlist from 10 games to does it even matter what the count is anymore? lol it's a lot!

Action Deka is just straight up weird...even for Konami! It seems that Action Deka is part of the Warzaid / Wartran Troopers series...so much so that they copy and pasted a level from Wartran Troopers directly INTO Action Deka and hoped we wouldn't notice! But its a hybrid beat em up that ALSO has some light arcade racing elements to it...and full motion controls like the Nintendo Wii!

It's certainly not Dynamite Deka / Die Hard Arcade from Sega...but it sounds like it could be based on the title!

But Action Deka is an obscure video game and a rare arcade game...all rolled up into one! A bit of video game history with a side of video game preservation!

Contra this is NOT! But Konami did weird things sometimes!

I played this via Teknoparrot emulation. Emulator for the win! Plus this counts as PC Gaming...and I get to be a PC gamer lol
