Apparently Lick Joe's name is a mistranslation and he's supposed to be Rick Joe, which makes way more sense. Still, the mistranslated name is pure gold.

its mainly because the letter L doesnt really exist in japan. They usually use R instead. Because its hard to tell whats an actual R, and whats replacing an L, it's common for Ls to always be used.

If you get the chance, I'd highly recommend going back to Hat Trick Heros (known as Euro Football Champ in the UK, and presumably Europe). Not for the football/soccer. But you realise they have included beat em up mechanics in the game. Which makes it a much more fun experience, especially when finding the most creative ways to get players sent off for fouls.

I've played Cameltry. Fun game. I also remember Taito did port that game on the Super Nintendo as "On the Ball", which was compatible with the SNES Mouse. Also, speaking of Pink Floyd, I swear the BGM playing during Plotting sort reminds of reminds me of "Break in the Wall".

oh it was compatible with the SNES Mouse? Didnt know that.

True. Maybe Jame's video settings are too bright, don't know, the flashes are not that bad. I've seen worse on Atari.

@jamesnoble8205 3 года назад

I liked the concept but it was too hard too quick. You died not even a minute into the game after there were bad guys all shooting at you at the same time Operation Thunderbolt was better and a bit more fair

@joeywalker2061 3 года назад

It was really fun from what i remember and for the time it was a pretty original concept.

Phoenix’s sound design is so shrill because the audio circuitry on the game’s hardware was basically thrown together from spare parts-the classical music that plays at the beginning actually comes from the sound chip for a musical doorbell!!!

30:38 I probably have an explanation for that awful name "Lick Joe". You should know that Japanese people often confuse the "l" and the "r" when they try to speak western languages. So as they wanted to find westerners for the characters in their game, they probably didn't care if it was "r" or "l" and had to call their character "lick joe" instead of "Rick Joe".
