They said it couldn't be done. They said it would never happen. They were wrong.
After 34 years the world is finally insane enough to reunite Turbo Force & Karate Blazers once again. Blessed Hamster making the impossible a reality. Whether this is a good thing is anyone's guess though

As the most hardcore Ikaruga fan in existence, as it is easily the best & most representative game in the STG bullet hell danmaku maniac genre ( we call them schmups for short), I simply cannot believe they haven't made one with the iconic 'ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US' from the arcade game on it😢

Truxton MD FM Sound will be running 40% too fast at all times so please ensure your truck has the extra 'oops, we botched that bit of the port & didn't notice in time' insurance coverage before starting

Here's why Namco went with their 'Carrot' naming convention for their arcades in 1980
With their new unified style of arcade branding, which had never been done before, they wanted a symbol that represented 'freshness' as arcades were viewed as dirty, seedy places🥕

The Kung Fu man in Metal Black & Gun Frontier is programmer TARABAR, real name Takamasa Hori. His boss on those games, Takatsuna Senba, called him Hori-chan, the basis for evil villain Ho Lee Chan
When he joined Capcom he was the model for Fei Long in the SSF2 key art, making him Bruce Ho Lee Chan

In 1995 before the game initially released Mitchell seemed a bit unsure of which name to go with, so just used both Cannon Dancer & Osman on the same ad
The following year they settled on Cannon Dancer for Japan & the infinitely less cool Osman for the rest of the world

Why in 2025 can I not think of another single screen shmup that's a bit like Donkey Kong 3 on crack?
That game was pretty sick. Surely someone's made something a bit like this already & I just don't know about it? If not, someone else is putting that idea into practice here💪
