I have it; it's actually not that bad, since it has actual stages and everything. But the gameplay is still very... faithful.

Having attempted to play Ikki very recently I have no desire to even try the remake.

Can you smell it in the air? There's a storm brewing...

My Mexican buddy has been wondering if there's anyway for him to order a GCCX shirt (any of them) without having to sell his second kidney to the black market to afford one. Got any advice?

The apparel has been extremely limited from the get-go, and when it's not, it's mostly only sold at the Tokyo Game Show, so... no.

The DVD challenge is also a good thing to come out of Ikki. It's a really special one even if things go awry (wait for it to be translated if you want details on that; it might be the biggest screw up that they've ever done in researching their challenges and it drat near kills three AD's as a result).

It drat near killed three ADs, that means it either killed one or two ADs.

Thanks for the heads up on that.

I think I've got it. It's a game they've needed to do for a long, long time: Karateka. It was a huge hit in Japan when released for the Famicom. I can't wait to see Arino get killed by the princess because he doesn't bow after beating the last boss.

Alternatively it could be Karnov but I'm not sure how they write that in katakana (カルノブ seems right but I'm not sure). Karateka's more likely though.

Oh yeah, it's actually on the famicom cart in really tiny print.

Anyway, one of the perils of working on this show is I'm staring at Arino playing this awful game for hours on end and I wind up thinking, "I kind of want to play that." It's like Stockholm Syndrome for terrible games...

If it's Karnov I'll be so happy. I don't think I've ever beaten the first boss.

I bought Karnov last week. I thought I was the only person on earth who had fond memories of it (though I had only played the arcade version before I bought it).

But I want Karateka more because Jordan Mechner needs three episodes dedicated to how awesome he is. Also I had that game for my Commodore and it's a brutal, cruel game for Arino to play.

(Actually it probably will be Karnov since they've started doing Data East games in earnest last season. While I'll be disappointed, I'll be happy that it means there are some really special games that will be available to torment Arino with.)

Your memories are likely more fond than mine. While I do own the game and have attempted to play it many times, I was first introduced to Karnov through Dance Dance Karnov on this very site (oh god, it's 11 years old now). And I only played that because I was a dedicated Dance Dance Revolution player back then.

If it is Karateka I hope he steps backwards straight away and gets the quickest game over in the history of the show.

I think Out of This World is the fastest game start to game over time. Mystery of Convoy is right up there with time to first death, though.

Outer World : 4.61 seconds
Mystery Of Convoy : 2.21 seconds

To make it even better, the death is caused by an invisible bullet :D

It is debatable since in Out of This World you never have to completely start over. You just start over from the last checkpoint whereas Transformers has a more traditional game over.

It's not really Game Over in Transformers neither, since you just lose a life.

I just noticed how in first post, Ninja Gaiden is classified as "Side Scrolling Murder Sim" :3
