PressureCooker2600 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Time to fight the Ku Klux Klan!!! Man....it's been awhile since I played this and I forgot how much of a blatant rip-off Code Name: Viper is of this game. Same style graphics, same gameplay mechanics, same amount of life, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 23,370 I still remember when the convenience store across the street from my dad's apartment had this game. I eventually learned how to get to Area 3 on one credit. But that doesn't make it any easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
