Video starts with a summary of the Magnet System, an ill-fated hardware system from Spain that would support games through floppy discs. There seems to be some confusion as to whether or not the system was actually released, as these games have been quite obscure and nearly impossible for people to find and dump. 10 original games were announced for it, with 4 of them being found and playable in MAME. They also may have worked out deals to distribute other companies' games through conversions on their Magnet System, but... as we'll soon see, they often play and sound quite different.

The Burning Cavern is no doubt the most entertaining of the original games that have been found - it's a strange platformer that's not very long, but a lot of the screens you have to get through usually have a sort of puzzle you have to figure out, or else you die. It's kind of a hateful game, but there's a strange addictiveness in wanting to make progress in it that's not really present in their other games.
