The Konami GX was Konami's main 2D arcade board of the mid-1990s, running games such as Lethal Enforcers II, Salamander 2 and Sexy Parodius on a 32-bit 68EC020 processor.
Konami introduced the GX (System GX) in 1994, built around a 32-bit Motorola 68EC020 processor running at 24 MHz, with a separate 68000 handling sound. It arrived just as the arcade industry was moving to 3D polygon hardware such as Sega's Model 2 and Namco's System 22, and it did not try to compete on polygons: instead it served as Konami's high-performance 2D platform. Its library spanned light-gun games (Lethal Enforcers II), shoot-'em-ups (Salamander 2 and Sexy Parodius), sports games (Run and Gun 2) and more, and it carried Konami's 2D arcade output through the mid-1990s before the company's attention turned to 3D hardware and its Bemani music games.
