Crack that whip said:I used to be... ehhh, not too bad at it, I guess, though I was certainly never what I'd call good. It's a lot of fun, though! I remember a theater that had a copy of the game in their lobby for years, and I'd frequently play it before or after seeing some other movie there. This game is one of my own personal Holy Grails for my Indy collection (that is, I want an actual original coin-op arcade game, not just copies of the ROMs on my computer to use with MAME or something).
Aren't there two different adaptations of this game for the NES, done by different developers / publishers?
ResidentAlien said:No. They were the very same adaptation. The first was released in black cartridge by a company who released unlicensed games on the NES--the company was called Tengen. That's the version I have. The game was then re-released properly licensed by a company called something like Mindscape if memory serves. There's absolutely no difference between the two copies save for the color and shape of the cartridge.
Edward The Head said:There are differences in the packaging, but I don't know about the game itself.
Spalkomania said:I downloaded this for MAME again recently, I'm still crap at it. It's a bit more fun than I remember.
Way of the dodo said:They really need to include this as a bonus on some future Indy game. (and maybe the horribly aggravating Atari Raiders game)

Can you give me a link for that? I've been wanting to play that arcade game for so long. I've found tons of classic arcade games, but finding this game is making me feel a little like Dr.Jones.
