Super Gem'Z is a fun puzzle game by Kaiko, a short-lived German developer who released several games for the Amiga before disbanding the company in 1993.
A mixture between Gem'X, Kaiko's previous game, and Bomberman, your goal in Super Gem'Z. Dozens of levels, power-ups, and colorful anime makes this a highly underrated classic. If you like the original Gem'X (on the Amiga only) or Bomberman, you will find Super Gem'Z a fun diversion. An interesting historical anecdote: this DOS version was never officially released, although it was ported in-house by Christoph Winkler (now a manager at VME) and a few friends.
Later on, VME used the idea in a Playstation game called Inspector Gadget: Maze Panic. Big thanks for T.R., webmaster of the Kaiko fansite, for sending us this very rare, unreleased puzzler. Two thumbs up, way up!

From http://hol.abime.net/2186 :
"Never released. Amiga master was stolen from Kaiko at a Cologne computer fair in 1992 and Software 2000 refused to still publish it. There also exists a conversion for the PC; yet even this one has never been published.
(Source: Frank Matzke)"
But the Amiga game was "released" anyway (by somebody...) because you can download the ADFs from many places.

How did T.R. get the game? Stole it? Knew the people who worked there and talked them into giving him a "beta" copy? How did he get it?
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
