After Namirog was first produced in 1983 as "Gameslash", which was changed to "Namirog" in 1990, the Crystal Jewels series began around between 1985 and 1987. The creator, Maruko Jinko is obsessed with collecting gems and jewelry. He is hired as a Gem Observer and a gemologist, but is fired because he is accused of drug possession. After getting fired, Jinko was looking for another job. His father convinced him him to be a electrical engineer, but Jinko rejects it. He said that he wanted to be a veterian, but he rejected it, too. His mother asked him to do study of animals, but Jinko said that he wants to pick for himself. He wants a job related to video games. Despite being fired from being a gemologist, he wanted to work on video games. He have joined the Namirog Company between 1984 and 1985, and made the first game, Metal Clashers also known in Japan, as Knightman.

However, in this Game Series, the player character can have up to 5 transformations. The Game also introduces a bully, which she also brags that she have a better transformation than the player character through the fight, in order to prove their capability. However, when all of the five transformable Crystal Monsters are defeated, the player will also get knocked down and that will result in him being defeated also, which doesn’t mean he dies. In Game Series II, the strategy introduced is where the Crystal Monster now travels alongside the player character behind. However, only the Crystal Monster can fight with the controls of a player, which is a similar concept like Pokémon, but with controls.
