Game IntroductionSide-scrolling chop socky with the added bonus of shooter-type stages.Game PlayAs Eightman (or Nineman), both known for strength and speed, you and a friend alternate between levels of left-to-right scrolling beat-em-up action and chasing after a vehicle while enemies jump out at you. Power-ups will make your puches and kicks stronger as well as give you bombs which are used to dammage all enemies. If player one and two are touching, a spark will be between them and their bomb power will greatly increase. All other robots are enemies.MiscellaneousThe characters actually do not look exactly like the traditional Eightman.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.
