«©NCSX» Before the madcap mini-games of Baito Hell 2000, musician Pierre Taki and musical collaborator Hideyuki Tanaka had other projects. The two are equal parts in the VJ team known as Prince Tongha and Taki is also part of techno band Denki Groove with partner Takkyu Ishino. In 1998, Pierre Taki contributed to a little known Playstation game known as Denki Groove Jigoku V which featured odd video art and a gaming experience that was capable of creating techno music. If we recall correctly, NCS sold 8 copies of the game and the print run was under 5,000 units. With Baito Hell 2000, Pierre and Hideyuki test their video and musical sensibilities with mini-games that exhibit the spirit and verve of their video project known as "30 Minutes Around the World." These are odd, odd mini-games. Odd. They're simple exercises that appear standard until you actually play them and notice the wicked and devilish sense of humor. Although it's easy to dismiss many of the games as the inclinations of fertile and possibly deranged minds, one must examine the pop culture savvy in them as well. D3 Publisher plans a USA release of Baito Hell which has been renamed WTF: Work Time Fun. The game is scheduled for Sept. 26, 2006. Also known as Byte Hell 2000 or Beit Hell 2000.
