About a decade ago, a friend of mine and I came across this after he coded a randomizer for one of the mame front-ends we were using. We thought this game was both hilariously beautiful and awesome, and would tell our friends about this gem. I remember seeing PCB auctions at $100-150 go unsold for a while. Then years after the Angry Video Game Nerd put out a video on youtube about this game, and then all of a sudden everyone was talking about it, and the PCB price shot up 3x. I don't even know what it's at now, probably closer to $500. But now whenever I see someone mention it, I can't help but think about AVGN's influence on the gaming crowd. Not saying that's where you heard of it, Osirus23, I'm just jaded that I never nabbed the original PCB when it was barely known. It's one of my arcade hobby regrets. |

MetroCross. Load it up on MAME and fall in love. Discovered it at the first Zapcon I went to, Vigo was better at it than me, but it was a blast. |

His later videos really come across like he's phoning it in and just aren't fun anymore. |
