Moving from one room to the next within the studio/arena, players have to shoot down hordes of enemies as they advance from all sides, while at the same time collecting weapons, power-up items, and assorted bonus prizes until a final show down with the show's host where you are finally granted your prizes, your life and freedom. One of the enemies is fat and is named Mr. Shrapnel who roams aside of the walls of some rooms and after a short period of time he explodes.

Basically the sequel to Robotron: 2084. While it didn't have the impact of its spiritual predecessor it was still a fun shooter (with some annoying voice acting).
core gameplay idea is super fun, the audiovisuals are great and i love its dystopian satirical concept which reminded me a lot of robocop. the levels kinda drag on for far too long though and are bizarrely hard on top of that. i dunno. cool stuff. give it a try for the sound effects i guess
One of those arcade games that drag on longer than they should, but how could you resist that sweet, angelical voice going BINGO every time you slot a coin in?
"he plot centers on a dystopian television show during the then-future year of 1999, where one or two contestants must shoot their way to fame and fortune; the show is taped in front of a live studio audience with broadcast via satellite worldwide."
This game is exactly as bat-shit nuts as it sounds like, it has no buisness being this disguistingly graphic and insensitive and I fucking love it.

What a fun room shooter, the whole Running Man-esque presentation is super fun and the animation and sprite work is really impressive. I love how sometimes when you die, your eyes will fly out of your skull towards the screen. The bosses here are a real highlight too - really dynamic bosses that transform as they take more damage. Played this co-op with my brother through the first two bosses but will likely revisit to experience the rest at some point in the near future.
