History VideoGame / GeppyX

Full title: ''[[AdjectiveNounFred 70's Robot Anime Geppy X]]: The Super Boosted Armor''. As the title suggests, Geppy X is an affectionate parody of the {{Super Robot}} shows of old in the form of a Japanese 2D shooter for the Playstation spread across a whopping four discs. It revolves around the battle of the titular Manga/GetterRobo -style mecha, piloted by {{The Hero}} Kei, {{The Lancer}} Jin, and {{The Big Guy}} Riki, and their Super Robot allies against the invading forces of the Space Devil Empire and their legions of Space Beasts. The entire game is set up like an actual anime, complete with an opening sequence before each level, anime-style cutscenes and stock footage, and fake commercials between mission halves. During gameplay, the Geppy X can transform into one of the robot's three forms, air-based X-1/X-Fire, sea-based X-2/X-Thunder, and ground-based X-3/X-Tornado, each with a chargeable primary and secondary weapon and ultimate attack.

* CharClone: Jyag. A handsome blond masked man, another leader in Devin's army. At first, he simply watches and smirks at Hisser's failure at defeating Geppy X. When he actually takes action, his plan forces one of Geppy X's pilots to make a HeroicSacrifice. (He even has a scar on his forehead, beneath that mask of his...)

* TheArtifact: Presumably due to memory limitations preventing them from using multiple variations, the ''Geppy-XX'' opening features all three of the initial pilots from the first half of the game, even though one of them is dead.

* MultiDiscWork: Because of all the [=FMV=]s, the game takes up ''four discs'' worth of content, despite only having nine real stages.

* KillEmAll: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5q48an3bGk This ending]]. Makes one wonder if Creator/YoshiyukiTomino was involved in the making this story.

** Several enemy mooks resemble legless hovering [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Zeon]] Mobile Suits, paricularly Zakus, Goufs, Doms, and Gelgoogs. The first and last types even have a faster red version.
