It was only in the last couple of years I noticed the likely correlation of some of these game names

  • Rush’N Attack - Russian Attack?
  • Bay Route - Beirut?
  • Ikari Warriors - Iraki Warriors?

“Punny” titles to reference real places or events. Although Ikari Warriors is apparently named for the Japanese title for Rambo: First Blood Part II (Rambo: Ikari no Dasshutsu)

Here’s a list of others: :grin: Punny Game Titles

Ah yeah that would make sense, the character sprites definitely remind me of Rambo

In the pun list this one is fun

Avengers 4K Vertical Overlay (Capcom 1987)

Avengers (known in Japan as Hissatsu Buraiken ) is a 1986 arcade beat 'em up game developed and published by Capcom. Directed by Takashi Nishiyama, who also worked on classics like Kung-Fu Master (1984) and Street Fighter (1987), the game takes place in Paradise City , where the villain Geshita has kidnapped six girls. Players take on the roles of Ryu or Ko , fighting to rescue the victims and defeat Geshita for good.

Gameplay features a variety of power-ups, including Speed Up, Super Punch, and weapons like Grenades, Shurikens, and Nunchaku. Players can discover hidden areas by breaking doors within the levels, and combat revolves around three attack types: Punches (quick but short-range), Kicks (slower but longer-range), and the Roundhouse, which strikes in a 360-degree motion.

The attached zip file contains control panel and coin door views: avengers.zip

I restored an official arcade bezel from images I sourced online. Since a scan of the bezel isn’t currently available, I think this copy looks decent for now.

Here’s a link to the full resolution copy of the bezel for anyone interested: https://mega.nz/file/X5kzFABa#8SUoEO3TwiMevG1kYSI_ZAZPnIS3zzfrHG_MHkD6VYk

Not much art out there to work from but it might be a fun thing to experiment with. I’ll take a look and see if I can come up with something, might take me a bit of time though.
