Followings are some of the amusement machines which Tartaruga Entertainment Works members have worked on in the past.
We have contributed to producing hit arcade games at a leading game maker, NAMCO. Here are some of them.

	RIDGE RACER

「RIDGE RACER」
This is considered as the greatest hit among driving games, and its sequels continue to be produced. One Tartaruga Entertainment Works member took part in body design, including graphics design. This was the first mass-produced game machine which adopted texture-mapping technology, that enabled the players to have real-like feelings. This new technology made the game a major hit.

	500GP

「500GP」
The basic concept behind this game was to develop an ultimate motorcycle racing game. This game machine for video arcades utilized a revolutionary mechanism which enabled the player to steer the motorcycle by shifting his/her weight as if s/he was riding the motorcycle. A PS-2 version of 500 GP game has been produced, too. One Tartaruga Entertainment Works member took part in body design, including graphics design. He also designed the parts for it.

	RAPID RIVER

「RAPID RIVER」
This is a game in which a pair of players work together to successfully paddle a raft down a rapid stream. An air actuator moves the player seat roughly. The game is accompanied by pictures on the screen in front of it.

	337 BYOUSHI

Tairyou Daiko San San Na Na Byoushi
This is a game which a player hit a Taiko drum (actually a button on the machine) to a given accompaniment. If the player can play the drum in time until the end of the game, s/ he will get a small prize. This game does not use a video screen. Instead, it uses a figure which moves as the player strikes the drums. The figure acts humorously when players fail to play im time. One Tartaruga Entertainment Works member took part in body design, body graphics design, and parts design.
