[NeoMasamune2too]

I haven't played this version before. But my brother and I played the heck out of the nes version back in the day. If you check out my kick on one of my videos you can tell. ^_^

[blazegriz]

[XDairantoux]

[mrfeelgoodful]

[xTsuRyux]

Never played the arcade version but I do remember, that's the first stage theme from the NES port. :D It's a surprise to hear it with Yamaha FM instruments.

"128 Rambos"

How can you attack in more than one direction? I just played the game a second ago and was able to move in any direction, but only able to attack upwards.

[Icosiol]

Apparently the U.S.A. was so broke, they couldn't afford to supply Ralf and Clark with guns, so they put all their hopes in their boxing skills.

[shinobiung]

@Icosiol think how many lives that would save?

[Jshaw71]

seeing the gameplay, it makes me think ikari warriors meets p.o.w. thanks for the upload

[TheDemonikSoul]

So in this game you play as Rambo?

[SonGOKUSSJ6]

@TheDemonikSoul No you play as a Ralf and Clark....Ralf is the one who looks like Rambo

[techromancer1]

another arcade classic thanks....

[chibangin007]

btw, this game was my favorite on the nes when i was like 5 or 6 years old.

[chibangin007]

i downloaded this game for mame rom. but i cant turn around. it only faces one way... wtf????

[AlmightyKrang]

That's because the arcade game utilized a rotating joystick to turn your characters around for attacking in different directions. You'll need to map the rotation to a few buttons on your keyboard.

[chibangin007]

well i do have a joystick. would that work?

[AlmightyKrang]

hmmm...the arcade joystick actually rotated like a knob. I'm not sure a standard joystick would work. if you have a controller you could probably map the left/right rotation to the shoulder buttons I assume? Unfortunately this is one of those arcade games that works specifically w/a unique set of controls....I'm guessing that's why there really wasn't a true port of the game :(

[figment1988]

fortunately, there is a romset known as ikari3nr which uses 8 way joysticks instead of rotary joysticks. of course, in order to play this version, you gotta have the parent rom on mame (ikari3)

[BillyCauseyjr]

@chibangin007 the way I get it to work is with a wired 360 controller and map the movement to the left analog, the roatation to the right , fire to right trigger, jump to A and grenade to left trigger (unarmed fire = punch and grenade= kick. you can also fake a tatsumke spin kick (ala street fighter) by jumping, kicking, and spining the rotate stick at the same time)

@BillyCauseyjr Where can i download it so, i can do the same?

[wyhawk]

[xxpandamidknightxx]
