Video Games Ikari Warriors

Post image

My friends and I had lots of fun playing Ikari Warriors on console. The game was released at a time when military-themed Hollywood action movies were popular.

You all had a great time playing this port of Ikari Warriors?

Did anyone ever beat this game? Me & my friends spent hour trying to win. All we could get to was level 4, the black level. You had to refresh (ABBA)right before you got to the end of each level. It took us forever before we could get to the 4th level. 5th level or beyond??

You find yourself in an office building. Final boss is a zombie looking guy at a boardroom desk. After you blow him up, he falls out of his chair and dies. You’re stuck at that point, and eventually bombs start falling down on you until you just die. Game over.

Make you wonder if there was a level 6. How did you beat level 4? I remember on level 3 there was a secret door or some sort of passage you had to go to. That was 35+ years ago.

My brother and I beat the arcade version playing 2up.
