When I was 10 back in 1989, me and my cousin were determined to beat this game. Thanksgiving morning we road our bikes over to the gas station with $5 each. We played and played, until we finally beat it, and we only had a few quarters left over. This will always stick out in my memory for some reason. Loved that game.

Wow haha randomly thought of this arcade… can’t believe I even remember what it was called … awesome, brings back memories

[@ggodhand3559]

Same here, I randomly thought of it, but I couldn’t remember the name. I just googled “arcade military prison breakout” and I found it lol. I remember I used to play this at 7eleven when I was a child. It’s funny to remember that 7-Eleven’s had arcades back then lol.

Such nostalgia. I burned through quarters playing this!

Well played! Love what you did on the elevator - I always used the same strategy :) And I love those "jump down the roof and nothing breaks" parts in the game - What a fantastic game :P

Unbelievable how much better games looked on a CRT screen back then than the pixellated mess they look like on an emulator.

por si no lo habían notado el mismo helicóptero que te manda enemigos desde el comienzo del juego es el mismo que te rescata al final y tiene el numero "11"...

I know people are gonna go what the hell but some reason I liked the soundtrack better on NES! Just my personal opinion but this is a bad ass game!

This game was too hard for kids to play. So hard. I lost my coins soon.

[@amazingdany]

I could never for the life of me get the controls down to play this game. Too stiff.
