Jungle King - Speedskate at the Roller Kingdom…..its all coming back to me now….

I think the best “fixed position” games I ever had the pleasure of playing were Time Crisis by Namco (the light gun & the Pedal to duck/Reload) and a similar game where you were the door gunner on a helicopter flying over an urban area war.

Actually, I did play some arcade in the eighties while wearing roller skates, but it was usually Jungle King.

You youngsters and your I’ve-never-heard-of-crossbow shenanigans. To put this in perspective, the last time I played crossbow I was wearing roller skates at the skating rink because that was the cool thing to do in the day. The sad part is that this game is all about the crossbow; the game is a pale specter of itself without the giant ass crossbow.

I’d have to say a wand is nerdier. I mean, at least you could club someone on the head with a staff.

On another note- thanks for reminding my I have 9gigs of ROMs kicking around that need playing.

‘Russian Attack’ WILL NOT defeat me again. Then on to Defender, and maybe tempest.

Can anyone think of a nerdier weapon than a crossbow?

Maybe a staff?

Yeah, staff is nerdier.

I’ve never heard of this game before. My arcade days began around 1990.

I’ll have to get my MAME on.
