    I loved that arcade/Sega game back in the day.

    I re-played I about a year ago, and omg, it’s quarter eating trash. What was I thinking back then?

    Can’t wait to play the remake.

      It was the most ridiculous and infuriatingly hard game back then, by a margin. It almost made Ghosts and Ghouls look easy in comparison.

        Yeah. It was a stupidly hard game. With unlimited lives (ie unlimited quarters) the entire thing is only a 25 minute play through.

      I immediately clicked on this thread to make a variation on this joke, and you beat me to it by an hour…in a Lemmy retrocomputing community. I knew we’d grow up one day, I just didn’t know this is what it would look like.

      The pizza place I worked at as a teen had this game and we had the key. So we’d pop it open and add tons of credits and play forever. This phrase is indelibly marked upon my brain.

        It was one of the three Genesis games my cousin had while he was living with my grandma. To say it was played a lot is an understatement, however the arcade coin-sucking tactics were still in play (with no continues!) so playing it longer than an hour was painful.

      Android is a pretty good development platform; it’s really just the keyboard and larger screen that are missing.

      My Android tablet with keyboard has replaced my laptop as portable development computer, easily.
