The band considers itself to be a "non-profit independent project" and does not charge for its music. Their stated goal is to "pay homage to
classic video games." To this end, they have made their entire repertoire available for free download at their website.
They have released two albums titled "ACTION METAL" and "Push Start Button (Round One)" (a demo CD) as well as several singles. In
addition,the band has released four full soundtracks for the "Metal MAME" project, which reprograms MAME images using heavy metal remixes
of the games' original music. They have even gone as far as to making their own music videos with their songs in the background, i.e., the
video for Raging Storm is a tribute to Geese Howard, using various footage from Fatal Fury games, artwork of Geese, and also footage from the
Fatal Fury animes.
