Is this the game where the main character gets hit by a bird while on a roller coaster?

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I haven't played this since it was new, so my memory is a little foggy..

They were joking about that happening to Fabio, the model on the cover.

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unofficial model. They did the same thing with contra when they had Arnold and Sly on the cover.

Oh really? That's interesting.

Even with a broken nose he's still immaculate. Life goals.

Damn I forgot all about this, that was a serious birdstrike

Can't speak for the second game, but Wizards & Warriors 3 was fucking awesome.
