(comical)Machine Gun Joe

[wayeK]

what is SO comical about it?!?! I mean... I keep dying for no reason even with the invincibility cheat on..........

is that what the japanese translation is on the box release in japan? 'comical machine gun joe?' are you sure that it didn't mean 'comical' like in the upper left corner? it's not really more of an action game .. it's more of a 'comical' game right guys?! cause you keep dying?!?!!?!

not to mention my copy freezes on the last level.... doesnt make any difference cause the game just keeps going anyways

It's a pretty hardcode game at first but once you get the rhythm of jumping and dodging it's really lovely. Give it a try without any cheat
Not sure why it is called "comical" tho but it is part of the title on the box and manual. From a Japanese point of view i think it could means "character from a comic" rather than "funny". But it is known a known comic/manga license as far as i know.

Its comparable to My Hero I think, in the way that its very hard but fast paced. Difficult games get frustrating when you end up spending a lot of time replaying long sections over and over. But this game like My Hero to me stays fun, it takes little time to play, the mechanics are enjoyable, and you can plainly see how well your progressing as you generally get a little further each time. Its addictive. I think it deserved a release outside of Japan, especially when you think that games like F16 were sold widely everywhere.

I think it's meant to be comical because you regress to a child or shrink... (Not sure which to be honest!) when you shoot an enemy or you get shot yourself 🤷. Plus the El Dora turns into a singing schoolgirl on some levels. Not my sort of comedy but no judgement 😂😉.
