Game Introduction

A one-on-one fighting game. Players choose from eight superhero-like characters: Gowcaizer (the title character), Karin (a voluptous female version of Son Ho Tzu), Capt. Atlantis (a parody of the typical American superhero), Fudomaru (a cyber-samurai), Hellstinger (a demonic rocker), Brider (a Guyver look-alike), Shen Long (a martial arts master), Marion (a cyborg), Shaia (an idol with a robotic sidekick) and Kyosuke Shigure (a mystic swordsman who summons spiritual pets). Players can learn new moves by defeating opponents.

Miscellaneous

Known in Japan as Chojin Gakuen Gowkaizer.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Uncommon - There are 13 known instances of Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 13 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,113 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 8 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

For Sale - There is one VAPS member with an extra Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer circuit board for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

The character designs were done by Masami Ohbari, who also did the character designs of the three animated Garou Densetsu/Fatal Fury: King Of Fighters movies.

The character Karin is designed after Son Hon Tzu, the hero from the Chinese fable, Journey to the West. Other characters designed after Son Hon Tzu are Son Son from Son Son and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, Gokuo from China Gate and Son Gokou from Dragonball Z.
