This action game stars a caricature of former Prime Minister of Japan, Kakuei Tanaka. The title is actually a play on the Japanese word for Prime Minister, "Sori". The game satirizes Tanaka's greed by making the goal of the game acquiring gold bars. This arcade game made it into some of the United States arcades. The goal is for the greedy protagonist to collect all the gold bars while jumping over or defeating various enemies and obstacles in each maze-like level. Some of these enemies are: Giant Baba (a Japanese wrestler), a moonwalking Michael Jackson, Madonna, Japanese comedian Tamori, Carl Lewis, moving statues (activated when passed by). Some obstacles include: Gates, "fire" hydrants, safes (making it difficult to gain access to the gold), a rolling barrel, conveyor belts, and a swimming pool with platforms ranging in size and strength. When you collect all the gold in a given level, you must cash it into a building (labeled "out" when the level begins and "in" once you retrieve all the gold) to beat the levBogey Manor

The Bungeling Strikes Back is the arcade sequel to the original game, consisting of 30 levels, of which ten are based on the original set. The objective of each level is the same: collect all the gold scattered around the levels while avoiding enemies. In the event that you are trapped, you can create holes in the platforms to the left or right of you for the enemies to fall through, similar to what the player does in Apple Panic. They will then die and respawn. Some enemies will flash, letting you know that they carry gold. You can either wait for them to drop the gold or force them to give it up by trapping them in holes.Liberation

Liberation

Liberation is a 2D scrolling top down shooter. The game has two sections - first, the player controls a helicopter, flies over forests, shoots enemies and searches villages. After the helicopter lands, the player controls a tank or other vehicle and must rescue prisoners in the village. Shooting in the helicopter section is quite typical, but as opposed to most other top down shooters, the screen isn't automatically just vertically moving, the player can freely fly over the battlefield (but he can shoot only forward). Tank control is similar to Jackal - the vehicle moves and shoots in every direction. In garages, the tank can be replaced by a jeep.Outer Zone
