Ok... had a thought... You guys remember BattleToads, right? Remember they came out with all those SNES & Genesis games a/b them, and there were actually some weak ass comics out there featuring them. Well, here's my question.
How many of you guys were lucky enough to experience the BattleToads arcade game? I know there's got to be only a handful of people on this Earth who have even seen the thing. This version of the game was as god-awful close to rated X as possible, not many arcades carried it. I know of only 1 spot in Miami that had it, and that was Bird Bowl.
This game displayed horrendous amounts of violence... above & beyond your average rinky-dink 2D group-fighter game. Zitz would jump in the air and do a spin kick that would turn his leg into an axe which would decapitate whoever's standing next to him. I recall confronting one of the bosses (first level I believe) and defeating him by dodging his bullcharge, then grabbing his crotch & nailing him at least 4 good times until he collapsed... then punting his ass off the screen. It get's worse. For those of you who played the game, you may recall the giant snake boss at the end of one level who's head was larger than the 3 players combined. One of the gruesomest scenes in arcade history ever, the snake would then proceed to bob back & forth until the right moment when you weren't paying attention, then he would dive down, whip out these fangs that were at least the length of your character's body, impale your 'Toad, shower blood all over the screen, then crunch on your body a few times before swallowing.
If you've played it, let me know, otherwise I'll try to look up something on it for reference.
