This week's TamaGe was actually shot while the staff were still in Korea and features a gaggle of kids and a dodgy crane game. Deciding that maybe the odds of this particular prize game aren't in his favor, Arino just buys some snacks instead.
That's not the only Korean follow up as Arino and Kibe examine some of the more mysterious games that they purchased while abroad. Some questions are answered while new ones are raised in this puzzling segment.

Arino's first horror game challenge. In Clock Tower, players must guide Jennifer through the Barrows manor... where horrors beyond measure await.
TamaGe hits Chiba and an arcade by the name of Nakayama Game Corner. The first game that Arino tries is very reminiscent to one that he's challenged before but never been able to beat and this time might not end so well either. Arino has better luck on another prize game before putting pedal to the metal in Super Sprint.
Project: Game Version primarily focuses on the RPG, Guadia Quest, but also shows off some tricks and how Arino will feature in the game.
In Game & Watch: I Can't Leave You Alone it's the Micro VS. System Series of games that is getting the spotlight. Since this series focused on multiplayer Arino and Kibe decide to work out their issues with a round of boxing.

The Namco theme continues by following the progress of the Namco published Retro Game Challenge in Project: Game Version. In the final instalment of this segment for the season Arino plays a couple of games within the game some of which are still being kept under wraps.
For the final Game & Watch: I Can't Leave You Alone Arino is presented with the extremely expensive but super cool Super Color and Crystal Series. But wait, there's more! Arino also checks out the Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch which was only available as a contest prize and as you can probably guess, it has a price to match its rarity.
The last TamaGe for the season also takes place in Bandai Namco headquarters and follows Arino as he peruses their archive of classic arcade games. Arino starts with the first Namco game ever, Gee Bee before having the privilege of playing a Gator Panic machine that still has mallets in good condition.
