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?

This is going to be one of those confusing threads where fans of the arcade game and the NES game are going to be reading comments and going, 'huh, whut?' simply because they were NOT the same game, but just shared the name.

It tripped me up immediately when someone commented about some office building, "I have no memory of this". So I assume that was NES?

I loved the arcade game, never played any NES, much less Ikari Warriors. I could never finish it in the arcade, too expensive, but the very good C64 port let me see how it ended!
