So around 2001, konami produced a ppg arcade game exclusively to japan only. There is barley information online about this rare ppg arcade game and may possibly be very obscure or lost. I don’t even know if this game exists or not?
Sources and links that can possibly prove of the games existence
Wow I've never heard of this before! So I tried to find other sources but didn't yield anymore results, I wonder if Craig McCracken knows anything?? It's super weird we can't get any pictures, and 7 levels with how many bad guys/monsters are listed?? Part of me wonders if this could have been a re-skin of another Konami game, but there are a lot of random details that seem to specific to be anything but ppg. Unfortunately the only real source seems to be one site making these claims, with both the message board and game faq linking back to that site.
Tried searching for more info, nothing. But I did find a series ofblog posts detailing a Japan-only PPG-themed Pachislot machine (made by a company called Yamasa, not Konami, sorry). The third post I linked mentions the person could've fought the Gang Green Gang and Mojo Jojo if they had continued, and the first one mentions the machine being in development since 2008. The time frame is too wide, but I thought I could share something at least.

Has anyone tried to contact him about this?
The timing of this is so weird because Craig McCracken is answering a lot of questions on Twitter about his cartoons, and even a question about PPG Z, so I shot him a question about the machine and linked the post here. Hopefully he answers.

Ah ok cool thanks!

I looked at his twitter and I assume this is the reply?
The slot machine game he is referring to is most likely what rodroid was talking about here
Wow you're fast! Yeah, I assumed the same.
Although him not knowing anything about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I also find it hard to believe with how involved he was (even giving notes on PPG Z, knowing about the slot machine offhand), this to me feels like proof it was more of a rumor made by that site. Especially since the gameplay doesn't make sense (7 levels with how many villains??), and the only source is one site with the listing and it links no definitive proof (no pictures no nothing). Maybe it was a prototype or something, but I need something more than that one website making claims about it.

Maybe we could find modern contacts from people on that forum or website in the OP post?

Not a bad plan. The site still seems to be active too.
