Gigandes, a fairly decent arcade shooter with a multidirectional firing gimmick, from the little known East Technology.

Average graphics, poor animation, no ending... This surely does sound like an unfinished game. Any info on whether it was released or not?

Apparently, "Gigandes" means "giant beans" in Greek, which has absolutely nothing to do with the game itself, or at least nothing that's visibly obvious.

The author is right about the meaning but I doubt the creators have this greek dish in mind when they came up with this title.

The name Gigantes comes from the Greek word for giants, hence giant beans.

Haven't played the game yet but I guess the title refer to the giant enemies, hence the greek word for giants.

Sweep Records released the game's soundtrack in better quality than how MAME emulates it.
