Very clean restore, don't see any seams there. I'd never heard of this series and was surprised to find out how many sequels it had.

Qix clones basically, nothing special. Still it seems the series and endless number of mahjong games were popular due to "sexy" content.

Have you actually played it? The original Gals Panic is the most fun Qix game ever, even without background images. IMO none of the sequels hold up as well, although some of the two-player modes in S and S2 can be fun. The Gals Panic S series are not so much “reveal the picture” games, they’re more “contain the enemy” games. They’re definitely interesting.
Mahjong is another topic entirely. Remember a lot of them were medal games, so gambling without being legally regulated as gambling due to technicalities. Some of the non-gambling ones are fun, but there are a lot of very forgettable ones.

Only played Gals Panic briefly. I do like Qix (and remember when it was presented at a local major fair at that time) so I'll definitely check Gals Panic again, thanks.

Meanwhile bought a supergun (cbox v4) and a neogeo pcb. Some neo geo carts of course too and also found a bargain Gals Panic II pcb . You're right, it is quite fun and it even has localized speech effects, lol.
Anybody got a scan or good picture of the instruction strip ? Would be nice for completeness.
