I'm Sorry
This has nothing to do
with the Brenda Lee song, rather it is a very odd game from
Japan and I do mean weird. At first glance, it appears like
your typical Pacman maze clone and in some ways it is. You have
to go around and collect the gold bricks and avoid bad guys who
look to be guards. But that is about all it has in common with
Pacman. Instead of a cute character like Pacman, you get a fat,
goofy looking guy. Take a look at this guy, who couldn't win a
beauty contest if he was the only contestant.
While looks are
not his strong suit, he does have some hard fists. He can punch
out people and break steel fences. Plus, he jumps like a
kangaroo! While nature whacked him with an ugly stick, it also
made him pretty tough. Being tough is good as he has a bunch of
people coming between him and the gold. Besides the guards,
with their cool shades, there is a crazy barrel that rolls after
you with a vengeance. Plus, there are the steel gates that need
to be pounded repeatedly to fall down.

(Picture blown up, so you
can see the depravity)
While the game is
pretty typical in every other aspect, there is one area that is
so ridiculous that it sets this game apart. Whenever one of the
guards captures you, the characters switch from the typical ones
to one of your character getting whipped by one of the guards,
who changes into an outfit that would be all the rage at the
Rocky Horror Picture Show. At the same time, you are wearing
nothing but your underwear and crying like a baby. I was
stunned the first time I saw this, as I would guess most arcade
goers were also. This may explain why I never heard of this
game.
Anyways, it is a
fun game. Not the kind of game that I would pump money into,
but for a good laugh, it cannot be beat (no pun intended). Just
another odd game that made its way into the market.
This is just a review of the arcade machine.
If you are looking for the actual arcade machine, you may want
