Metal Black[a] is a 1991 scrolling shooter arcade video game originally developed and published by Taito.[3] Set in the dystopian future of 2052, players assume the role of rogue pilot John Ford taking command of the CF-345 Black Fly space fighter craft to defeat the Nemesis alien race and save humanity. Created under the working title "Project Gun Frontier 2", the game was made by most of the same staff behind Gun Frontier and ran on the Taito F1 System hardware, although its actual connection with the latter title is very loose. Though first launched in arcades, it was later ported to the Sega Saturn and has since been re-released through compilations.

Kung-Fu Master (カンフーマスター, Kanfū Masutā) is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game produced by Irem as an arcade game in 1984 and distributed by Data East in North America.
