《70年代風機人 蓋比X》（70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X，日文：ゲッP-X）是一款融合動畫演出與橫向射擊玩法的經典機器人遊戲重製作品。原作於1990年代僅在日本推出，以充滿70年代機器人動畫風格的熱血演出與大量手繪動畫而聞名。此次版本由mplicit Conversions開發、Bliss Brain發行，透過現代技術進行HD完整重製，並加入多項便利功能，讓玩家能在現代平台重新體驗那個充滿熱血與浪漫的機器人動畫時代。本作預定於2026年7月推出，登陸PlayStation 5、PlayStation 4、Xbox Series X|S及Steam平台。

在劇情方面，故事發生於西元197X年的地球。自稱「宇宙惡魔帝國」的邪惡勢力突然從宇宙降臨，並以日本作為侵略地球的第一個目標。帝國派出的宇宙獸擁有壓倒性的破壞力，人類軍隊幾乎毫無抵抗之力，日本甚至面臨滅亡的危機。就在這時，日本引以為傲的天才科學家吳石博士啟動了他秘密開發的巨大戰鬥機器人「蓋比X」。三位年輕駕駛員搭乘這台合體機器人，肩負起對抗宇宙惡魔帝國、守護地球的使命。遊戲的劇情演出完全模仿經典電視機器人動畫的結構，從報時、片頭曲、正篇劇情、過場提示、廣告段落、片尾到下集預告，讓玩家彷彿親自參與一部70年代機器人動畫節目。隨著故事發展，主角機體還會在中途升級為新型機「蓋比XX」，呈現典型機器人動畫中期強化的經典橋段。

在遊戲操作方面，核心玩法是街機風格的橫向卷軸射擊。玩家操控主角機「蓋比X」進行戰鬥，並可在三種不同形態之間切換，每種形態都具有不同的性能與武裝。X1號是平衡型機體，能夠在各種情況下穩定作戰；X2號是速度型機體，機動性極高，並擁有能清除畫面敵人的蓄力攻擊「X Seeker」；X3號則是力量型機體，擅長高風險近距離攻擊，例如威力驚人的「X張手」與重型武裝「X大砲」。每種形態都擁有主武器、副武器、蓄力攻擊與必殺技，玩家需要依照戰況靈活切換。當故事推進到中期後，機體升級為「蓋比XX」，武裝與攻擊方式全面更新，整體遊戲節奏與戰鬥風格也隨之改變。

在重製版本中，遊戲的動畫表現也全面升級。原PlayStation版以320×240解析度、15fps播放的動畫，這次重新從原始BetaCam母帶進行數位化處理，並透過超解析技術提升畫質，最終以動畫原本的每秒24格完整呈現。整部作品共使用約8,000張手繪原畫，讓當年動畫製作的質感得以完整復活，呈現超越一般「重製版」的影像品質。

為了讓現代玩家更容易遊玩，本作也加入多項便利系統。例如「倒轉功能」可以在失誤後立即回到稍早的檢查點重新挑戰；「快速存檔」允許玩家在任何時間保存進度；「連射功能」則能讓射擊操作更加順暢。此外，遊戲還提供「掃描線效果」選項，用以模擬傳統CRT電視的畫面質感，重現昔日觀看動畫的氛圍。

音樂與配音也是本作的重要特色。遊戲邀請多位知名聲優參與演出，包括神谷明、速水奨、池田秀一、永井一郎以及納谷悟朗等人。主題曲與插入曲則由多位動畫歌曲傳奇歌手演唱，包括ささきいさお、串田アキラ與影山ヒロノブ，讓整體氛圍充滿經典機器人動畫的熱血感。

市場評價方面，《70年代風機人 蓋比X》被視為結合動畫敘事與射擊玩法的獨特作品。原版在1990年代因為龐大的動畫製作規模與濃厚的動畫致敬元素而成為日本玩家間的傳奇作品。此次HD重製版不僅保留原作的熱血精神，也透過高畫質動畫與便利功能讓遊戲更符合現代玩家的遊玩習慣。對於喜歡機器人動畫、經典街機射擊遊戲或懷舊文化的玩家而言，本作被視為一次能夠「親自操作機器人動畫」的特別體驗。

70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X (Japanese: ゲッP-X) is a classic robot-themed game that combines animated storytelling with side-scrolling shooting gameplay. The original title was released exclusively in Japan in the 1990s and became known for its passionate homage to 1970s super robot anime, featuring a large amount of hand-drawn animation and dramatic storytelling. This modern version, developed by Implicit Conversions and published by Bliss Brain, fully remasters the original with HD visuals and a range of modern convenience features, allowing players to relive the energy and spirit of classic robot anime. The game is scheduled for release in July 2026 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.

The story is set in the year 197X. A powerful evil organization calling itself the “Space Demon Empire” suddenly appears and begins its invasion of Earth, starting with Japan. The empire’s terrifying “Space Beasts” possess overwhelming destructive power, leaving humanity’s defenses nearly powerless. Japan faces the threat of complete destruction. At this critical moment, Dr. Kureishi, a genius scientist admired worldwide, activates a secret weapon he had been developing in preparation for such a crisis—the giant combat robot Geppy-X. Three young pilots board the combining robot and take on the mission of defending Earth against the Space Demon Empire. The game’s narrative presentation faithfully recreates the structure of a classic television robot anime, complete with time signal, opening theme, main episode, eye-catch transition, commercial break, ending theme, and preview of the next episode. As the story progresses, the main robot eventually upgrades to a new model called Geppy-XX, reflecting the classic mid-series power-up often seen in robot anime.

In terms of gameplay, the core of the game is an arcade-style side-scrolling shooter. Players control the protagonist robot Geppy-X and can switch between three different combat forms, each with unique abilities and weapons. X-1 is a balanced form capable of adapting to various combat situations. X-2 is a speed-focused form with superior mobility and a powerful charge attack called “X Seeker” that can clear enemies across the screen. X-3 is a power-oriented form designed for high-risk close combat, featuring devastating attacks such as the “X Slap” and the heavy “X Cannon.” Each form is equipped with a main weapon, sub-weapon, charge attack, and special move, encouraging players to switch strategically depending on the situation. Later in the story, the robot evolves into Geppy-XX, introducing new weapons and combat mechanics that significantly change the gameplay experience.

The remastered version also greatly enhances the animation. The original PlayStation release displayed animations at 320×240 resolution and 15 frames per second. For the new version, the animation has been re-digitized from the original Betacam master tapes and enhanced with super-resolution technology. The result restores the animation to its intended 24 frames per second, bringing the original visuals to life with much higher clarity. In total, the game features around 8,000 hand-drawn animation frames, faithfully preserving the craftsmanship of the original animation production.

To accommodate modern players, several quality-of-life features have been added. The Rewind function allows players to instantly retry after making a mistake by rewinding to a recent checkpoint. Quick Save enables players to save their progress at any time. An auto-fire option helps make shooting gameplay smoother and more accessible. In addition, the game includes a scanline display option that recreates the visual feel of classic CRT televisions, enhancing the nostalgic atmosphere.

Music and voice acting are also major highlights. The cast includes renowned Japanese voice actors such as 神谷明, 速水奨, 池田秀一, 永井一郎, and 納谷悟朗. The theme songs and insert songs are performed by legendary anime singers including ささきいさお, 串田アキラ, and 影山ヒロノブ, delivering the powerful musical style that defined classic robot anime.

From a market perspective, 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X is widely regarded as a unique title that merges animated storytelling with arcade shooting gameplay. The original release gained cult status among Japanese players due to its massive animation production and strong tribute to classic robot anime. This HD remaster preserves the passion and style of the original while introducing modern improvements, making it accessible to a new generation of players. For fans of robot anime, retro arcade shooters, or nostalgic pop culture, the game offers a rare opportunity to not just watch a robot anime—but to actively control and experience one.
