About
Beatmania is a rhythm video game developed and distributed by Japanese game developer Konami and first released in 1997. It contributed largely to the boom of music games in 1998, and the series expanded not only with arcade sequels, but also moved to home consoles and other portable devices, achieving a million unit sales. The Bemani line of music games from Konami is named after the series, and was first adopted in the arcade release of Beatmania 3rdMix and kept ever since. The series came to an end with the last game being Beatmania The Final, released in 2002. The PlayStation releases were only available for Japan apart from one which was created especially for the European market . The first game acted as a key disc, which is required to play the subsequent releases through disc changing, and were called append discs. Special hidden songs could be accessed for certain append discs if the discs were changed through a specific order. Beatmania Append 6th Mix + Core Mix: The very last PlayStation release in Konami's long-running rhythm game series, 6th Mix + Core Remix is a home port of what were the two latest arcade editions at the time, 6th Mix and Core Remix. In addition to the arcade version tracks, there are also a half-dozen new remixes of tracks from the Yebisu Mix append disc included with the very first home edition of beatmania, making for a total of 62 tracks. This release can also be used to play the numerous beatmania "append discs" that Konami released.
