Scary!

Yes, it's fun to play games at work. Today, I invented a fun activity called "load a MAME game at random" in which we load a MAME game at random. Then we see what happens.

Discovery of the day is "AB Cop" -- a SEGA game from 1990 that is remarkably similar to Space Harrier. The "AB" in "AB Cop" stands for Air Bike. You play a cop on an air bike. In the future! Apparently, in the future, nobody has guns. Instead, you have to ram all your enemies to death with your Air Bike.

When Air Bike Cop fails, this is the really scary final screen. I had to post it. The hollowed out eyes. The Munchian scream, repeated in the background ad infinitum. The abject horror!



Oh, AB Cop, why are you so scary?
