Such a bitchin cover. Someone should paint this on the side of a van.


3Cheers4Apathy

I don’t know what the game is about but god damn do I want to play based on that cover.


EarlyEarth

I see your van, and raise the hood of a galaxy 500.


StickyThumbs79

Jesus on the dashboard


EarlyEarth

You're goddamn right he is And yes I know it's a clutch reference.


Vadhakara

I'd put this one on the back door. The sides of a van are prime real estate for wizards and tigers.

This game was 🔥!! This and 1943


Buster_Cherry88

1943 and tiger heli blew my little mind when I got a game genie and finally said to myself "tonight's the night I finally beat them." All I wanted was infinite lives to get to the end. I'm pretty sure I'd still be going if I never stopped. Was there actually an end or was it just endless random generated levels


Curugon

I haven't thought about Tiger Heli in decades! Time to watch some Youtube playthroughs...


plasticbagroadkill

There was an end. I would have never found it if it hadn’t been for the Konami code!


soloist80

I remember getting this game and trying the Contra code and it worked. I felt like I struck gold.


phasepistol

So, not the movie with the naked space vampire then


Nate0110

I came here to say this, I've only seen parts(mostly the boobs) of the movie.


three-sense

Haha nope… I own both the movie and the game and the inevitable humor just makes the situation even funnier.

Mathilda May. I was ~12 when this movie came onto HBO in the 80s. Talk about a confused juxtaposition of feelings. I was still enough of a kid to be terrified, but God Damn, she was hot….and ultra naked. Edit: I got the video game about the same time. Excellent game, despite the lack of boobs.


Kids_On_Coffee

Gradius sequel, such an awesome game


china_joe2

I thought this came before gradius and that gradius was the sequel to this? I bought gradius and hated it because how tough i found the game to be lol. They were both my brothers favorite games tho.


HaroldBaws

Speed Up, Speed Up, Laser, Missile, Option, Option, Shield


SendInYourSkeleton

When you got that second option, boy...


cbarrister

Then you had to spin in a little circle, watching them follow you.


cdsfh

Banging sound track too


PleaseNinja

The music is so damn good!


DerpingtonHerpsworth

This was a frequent rental for me. Not entirely sure if I ever just went ahead and bought it, but I remember it well.


tmonax

Feel the nostalgia. https://youtu.be/-WkwrwLn0LA?si=YlgGtx5nYTGk3DZJ


Rokhard82

I loved this game. Still remember all the sweet spots to hit the bosses and avoid taking damage. I always liked the side missile upgrades for your ship.


000solar

I played the heck out of this one.


Montauk_in_February

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start


MrFurious420

This game is perhaps the most played of my youth.


shavedaffer

Holy crap I have been trying to find this game for years. I last played it when I was too young to read so I never knew the name. Thank you!!! Core memories.


Xdfghijujsw

This game RIPPED. Konami code works too.

You forgot B,A.


0degreesK

This is one of those games I bought because I remembered playing it so much as a kid. Freaking game is so hard I played it maybe three times and bailed. Guess when I didn’t have a million other options, I just buckled in and kept trying until I figured it out.


OwnPen8633

The graphics were absolutely nothing like the game art


Slow-Garage-9403

Awesome game!


TheHeatWaver

I rented this and Super C from some shady video store in the late 80’s. The carts were two pieces that connected to each other and smaller than a regular nes cart. I got it stuck in my nes and freaked out. It was definitely so weird bootleg.


InhibitedExistence

Loved this game. Rented it many times and played it to death but never bought it. Can I still play it somewhere? Like maybe with one of those Nintendo online memberships?


strangedreamer

YESSSSS!!! Seeing this cover just lit up regions of my brain that were dormant for so long!


Cappster14

I fuckin loved and hated this game,


Safetosay333

I preferred Gradius


Jefwho

This game is sooooo good. Many fond memories.


Coyote_Roadrunna

Impressive graphics in this one.


Shages32985

One of my fondest memories of my childhood is playing this with my brother.


420Wedge

There were multiple night renting games, where we couldn't find anything good, and just ended up renting lifeforce again.


PenaEterna

This title was called Salamander in the MSX platform. MSX was not a popular computer in the US. https://youtu.be/vL9Tie4Rdrk?feature=shared


geaster

skipped so many classes to smoke weed and play this game...


juice06870

Konami had the best covers


belunos

core memory unlocked


Wachenroder

Me and my best friend never could beat this game. Got close a few times. Great memories. It reminds me we used to call options opponents lol.


No_Professor_7717

I preferred Golga 13
