Memory of game:

"I spent many quarters on this game in 1986-1987. I was in sixth grade and was trusted to bike to school. After school, I would hang out at a place owned by Mr. Rudi Polstin in Wilton, WI. This game was stationed for a time in The Cave where the arcade and bike storage was kept for the Elroy Sparta bike trail. My buddy and I tried our best to beat this game but inevitably, we would die before 4th stage. The opening sequence was pretty funny. Shena gets kidnapped and yelps "Rick, Help me!" I beleive she was Rick's favorite groupie. Through the game, she yelps this "Help me" My buddy and I thought for the the longest time she said something else since "Help" was sort of hard to discern and we were sixth graders who just encountered sex-ed for the first time. We had some good laughs."
