BeaIank | 1,617 Events Team · Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 In a hindsight, I should have saved this for Karnovember, but alas, here we are.

The rules for this week are as follow: Play till your last life.

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 You mean take the picture after losing your second to last life? Since we're not allowed to play our last life. But I've never played Karnov so I might be misunderstanding something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes still extremely bitter my mediocre team somehow beat his juggernaut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Karnov was in Bad Dudes first because that's what I first knew him from. Turns out the arcade Karnov came out the year before which is interesting.

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Bad Dudes was always far more popular. I've never even played Karnov so that will be a first for me this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I've never played Karnov either. I really liked Bad Dudes in the arcade, but I didn't care too much for the NES version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's NES limitations or a crappy developer or a bit of both. It sucks, but it's still kind of fun in a cheesy 80s sort of way.

It's passable, but I remember being disappointed as a kid when I played the NES version. For whatever reason, it seems like most Data East arcade ports appeared excessively stripped down compared to similar NES games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
