Did I completely forget that this was also an arcade game? Pretty sure I only ever knew it as a SNES title, but no – here’s the arcade version. It is, as you’d expect, very similar to the original version but with better graphics and animation, and levels set in various time periods like “dinosaurs” and “pirates” as the title would suggest.
It felt somewhat easier than the original, perhaps because there are a few more moves and certainly more floor pizza to pick up. It still required a virtual piggy bank filled with virtual coins to get through (in two-player mode this time) but as before, it’s button mashing mindless fun.
