Break out of prison!

Start punching dudes!

There's usually more than one enemy on the screen and there are weapons and you beat up a fat dude at some point and then I think you steal a recipe for awesome banh-mi sandwiches, bring it back to the U.S., adjust the recipe for American tastes, and start the very first Subway sandwich shop.

It's up on the PSN store, but I'm waiting for the full update because i think it's supposed to be discounted for us PSN+ suckers. UPDATE: yes, a whopping $.60 discount from $2.99 to $2.39. Feel the value. Playstation Plus™ only on Playstation Network Live ®

yay, thought i would be having a conversation with myself in this thread

chronovore · « **Reply #8 on:** December 20, 2011, 09:47:13 PM »

I would prefer a nice version of the moar by00tiful METAL SLUG series, but this was fun.

when you call to base he says:

"FF7...FF7...This is Snake..."

also, this is costing like...$25 in continues to beat. This shit is beyond brutal and cheap

Music and sound effects are so good though

I pumped several rolls worth of allowance into these machines over the years

i feel dumb for having done that because there is absolutely zero way to get consistently good at this game

there are cheap arcade games, then there are the ones truly balanced to never allow you to beat it without credit pumping.

There are plenty of arcade games that were designed solely as a coin grave, but that's mostly a problem with western/world versions of games because credit feeding is more prevalent outside of Japan.

I was even gonna put a disclaimer in there like "besides jump kicking the whole way"

Momo · « **Reply #15 on:** December 25, 2011, 06:37:03 AM »

Oh man, there'd be guys jump kicking all the time and I'd mock them for being pussies

Then I'd play and start coin pumping, they were right

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #16 on:** December 25, 2011, 04:17:46 PM »

I don't know how many of you are serious martial artists who have escaped from behind bars but jump kicking is a totally legitimate approach, just ask Master Park of Oom Yung Do. He is the strongest man alive and his dojo is located between Seattle Frogurt and the Verizon Store. I am a purple belt with stripe and Master Park says my roundhouse kicks are deadly.

Man I used to be so good at trolling martial arts nerds on NeoGAF, I miss those days

Momo · « **Reply #17 on:** December 26, 2011, 01:49:30 AM »

What if all that jump kicking causes crotch sprain

I can't wait until you can troll me in person, biotech.

You can actually mash the kick button and he flails his leg in mid air like chun-li

looks good

The NES version was so shitty it made Bad Dudes look like a good port.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #21 on:** December 26, 2011, 08:29:16 PM »

TMNTs were my favorite jump-kicking games

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** December 26, 2011, 09:02:26 PM »

I like to think of them APPROACH ON THE DIAGONAL games
