It's arcade. Probably runs on the igs pgm system. Theres a lot of good titles coming out of Korea atm. As many of you may have guessed each region is focusing more on region specific games leaving a gap in the world market. This gap is being filled by Korean arcade companies such as seed9 and ESD

I especially like Swat Police which is very similar to Nam 75.

Fire Hawk looks pretty good. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0"> If/when there's a home port, I'll buy it.

Hmmm

Almost cool, but a little too cartoony for my tastes.

more information:

We now have new information on the below-mentioned Metal Slug clone from developer Seed 9. Titled Tomak! the Shooting, this action game is being developed for both arcades and the Korean GP32 handheld system. The arcade version (using a standard JAMMA interface) will be released in Korea and Japan soon, with only a possibility of distribution in the U.S. Regarding the Metal Slug similarity, Mr. Gun Kim of Seed 9 told us, "We often hear that Tomak looks like Metal Slug...It is true that we were inspired [by] Metal Slug. We [call] this style..."IREM Color."' Mr. Kim also confirmed that no former Slug team members work at Seed 9 or are involved with Tomak!

I was gonna try and find you guys some neato links so you can all have a look at the games, but dammit, GP32 coverage is TEN TIMES worse than the NGPCs! Its almost non-existant. The only reliable one is the official website: http://www.gp32.com/

Anyhow, yes, Korean developers are doin' games for it. Mainly the dudes who made the hardware! Lets face it, this system is gonna bomb HARD. No media coverage and poor 3rd party support is gonna kill this machine before it ecen gets off the ground. Snap up a system before it goes under...
