The Pepsiman game is one of the few games that've made me laugh out loud. ..the shovel-in-your-face in that one subway section gets me every time.

Went to play Pepsiman tonight but I've been stuck at level 4 for awhile. Namco Museum Vol.5 was in from earlier this week so almost randomly I ended up playing Metro-Cross for the first time ever tonight.
I was surprised at how similar Metro-Cross is to Pepsiman. Pepsiman is basically Metro-Cross in 3-D.

Now, Finger Flashing. That's a game that makes me angry in so many ways, mainly for making me suck so bad. Controlling the playfield speed, and setting up for combos, and deciphering the different enemies is delightfully maddening.

But what if I enjoyed Yakuza? Where do I go from there?

Don't worry, Sega's milking it to death for you. Look out for Yakuza 2K11, with roster update + build a gangster mode.

Kaiser Knuckle
Martial Champion

Kaiser knuckle looks pretty awesome in a world heroes kind of way. I like how azteca totally isn't blanka and vega smashed together, and the general isn't M.bison, nope not at all. Dude even had a diagonal head stomp. Martial champion looks reeeeeeeally bad though, there a not mame way to play these?

Martial champion looks reeeeeeeally bad though

It plays bad too.

Those who like Contra should also check out Data East's Midnight Resistance. It's quite good.

For Castlevania fans, there's also Vampire: Master of Darkness on the Master System.

You're god damn right it is.

I spent all my keys on the blue flame thrower because I know what's up.

(re: Martial Champion) It plays bad too.

Kaiser Knuckle > Martial Champion, definitely. In KK it's awesome to see the stages take damage, or even near-complete destruction if someone lands a Crush powered special move. Some moves even mess up the floors like Kazuya's Gasai-Geki (HCB+P).

I'll give another vote for Midnight Resistance. The Genesis version has a superior soundtrack- hearing the arcade's BGM in MAME was somewhat of a letdown in comparison. The Super Charged Flamethrower is even better than Contra 4's L2 machine gun.
