It's the game which put the world's biggest gaming icon on the map, and firmly planted Shigeru Miyamoto as a genius of game design.
Super Mario Bros CURRENTLY OFF-FLOOR Nintendo 1986 Amazing stuff and an absolute must-play on your next visit!
There's grapples, combos, dodge-moves, special moves and 4-player gameplay, which all comes together in a game which feels something like Streets of Rage combined with TMNT and King of the Dragons. But it's the gameplay system that really shines with polish and depth. 'What makes this game so special' I hear your ask? Well having been released quite late in the history of arcades, the game is able to draw upon all side-scrolling beat 'em ups which came before it, to create what could be considered the greatest beat 'em up of all-time! The graphics are simply stunning, with silky smooth animation and creative moves. The Gladiator: Road of the Sword is a rare game indeed, so rare in fact, that it's almost impossible to find much information about it online! With that said, this game came highly recommended to us and so we embarked on a mission to get hold of a cart, and a 4-Player Cabinet to match, so we can share this truly rare treasure of an arcade game with the world!
