Medal Operation Footage, Music And Manual Scans Surface

GroundMan, our go-to-guy for rare arcade game footage, has released a handful of Rockman EXE: The Medal Operation media. Never before have we've seen the game in such high quality, let alone heard its soundtrack. Tonight, you're getting a taste of both!




GroundMan has also provided a .pdf manual for the game, translated into English. Download that here.

Released in the fall of 2005 to coincide with the release of Rockman EXE 5, the Medal Operation marked the EXE series' first foray to the arcade scene. layers deposit a specific amount of "medals" (arcade tokens) into the machine to initiate the game. Once started, you play a series of EXE 5 themed mini games, which once successfully beaten, warrant prizes such as extra tokens or CHOCOLATE!

The mini games are presented in the form of stages, which take place in a variety of areas from Rockman EXE 5.  Very little details exist about each individual mini game, so make of what you will from the above footage.

GroundMan was kind enough to provide me with a link to the retailer that actually sells Medal Operation cabinets publicly. KNT offers both Medal Operation and Battle Chip Stadium, albeit at a pretty penny. Head on down to their place here if you're interested.

  2. These websites he keeps linking to are hard to decipher. No product catalog?

  4. I'm kind of confused at how the website works in regards to buying the Battle Stadium machine. XD

  5. Wait, why are Gregar-Megaman and Falzar-Megaman on the chocolate wrappers if this is based off of EXE5?
