This is definitely one of best examples of a genre-defying game on the PCE. I suppose you could call it a weird twist on a light-gun game (imagine if you could actually use a light gun!) but it still winds up being really unique nonetheless. What do you think about it?

Please keep those new submissions coming! Remember, we had a reset, so everyone may now submit another game!

Probably.

Post by: Necromancer on September 25, 2014, 10:24:59 AM: I really dig this quirky game, though I can't beat it. There's even a nice translation patch to get rid of those pesky moon runes!

Post by: jtucci31 on September 25, 2014, 12:16:28 PM: This game is a lot of fun! It's nice to have the english translation that makes it even more fun. I only got to the second Ghetto stage so far. I'm curious to see what the other stages look like
