I used to play this game a lot via Midway Arcade Treasure 2 as a kid and it was fun like hell!

I remember playing that game when it first came out in the arcade thought that was one of the coolest games ever

Just saw the Midway doc trailer and only remember this from The Foot Clan hangout in 1990.

Legendary game! You can just tell this is a Williams/Midway game by the graphics, sounds, and gameplay. Some of those sounds in this game were in Terminator 2 The Arcade Game which was released 3 years after this game. That's one of the things that made arcade games so unique in the 80s and 90s. If you played a Midway game you knew you were playing a Midway game. If you were playing a Capcom game you knew you were playing a Capcom game. If you were playing a SNK game you knew you were playing a SNK game. SNK, CAPCOM, AND WILLIAMS/MIDWAY = OUR CHILDHOOD.

Ah good times. I definitely have to look at this one again.
