Sex & Nudity

  • The game host can be seen with 2 woman strippers wearing bikini swimsuits. Also in the end credits also shows a woman stripper wearing a bikini swimsuit. This is shown in the Arcade and Sega Genesis version of the game.
  • This was also shown in the NES and SNES game which was unusual at the time during the Nintendo censorship era.

Violence & Gore

  • The contestant can be seen in the game shows the player is shooting at soldiers with a machine and blowing them up and they explode in red blood and their body parts are shown. The cyborg bosses in their tanks can be seen getting their arms and head bloodily decapitated in the arcade version.
  • In the SNES version of the game tones down the violence and removes most of the blood and body parts flying off as the player shoots with the machine gun. However the cyborg bosses in their tanks can be seen getting their arms and head bloodlessly decapitated and the soldiers can be seen exploding in red blood as the player is shooting at them and blowing them up which was unusual in the Nintendo censorship era.
  • This is considered one of the most violent arcade game and SNES game during 1990 before the ESRB rating was established.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene with the soldiers getting shot or blown up may be disturbing to kids in the arcade game even in the censored SNES version of the game.
  • Recommend ESRB rating for the Arcade version: Rated M for blood, gore, violence and suggestive themes.
  • Recommend ESRB rating for the SNES version: Rated T for mild blood, violence and suggestive themes.
