When i was a kid, around 2006-2008 i remember having trouble conecting with my brother, he is 11 years older than me, he used to be a teenager while i was a toddler, and yet, somehow i used to sit behind him while he played, i remember whacked being his favorite, it scared me a lot to see the ***spoilers*** hell ***spoilers*** part of the game, yet it was really fun to see him whacked the other characters. My hope is not to play this game again, after all "for its not the same river, hes not the same man", my hope is that this game inspires more kids to find a middle ground with his brother, sister, parents etc. my hope is to keep the spark of communitty games had for me and my brother all those years ago.

Being in a larger family this game was one me and the boys played at lot, no other reason 😅 the gameplay was fun at the time and I liked having the story mode for each character being these mini cutscenes and their grand prize at the end. Weapons were great and the adverts in between matches were funny and are etched on my brain. Definitely needs a spiritual successor / remake...

Ugh!
Ugh!Ugh! is an arcade/flight game developed by Bones Park Software Artistic and published in 1992 by PlayByte for the Amiga, Commodore 64 and DOS. The game is a clone of Space Taxi. It features a caveman who, in order to appeal to his beloved future mate, controls a stone-age muscle-powered helicopter, picking up passengers and flying them to the desired location for money. The player must venture through 69 levels, and must evade natural obstacles as well as hostile Dinosaurs and "Birds" (actually pterosaurs). Collisions with obstacles, hard landings and touching obstacles with the helicopter's rotor inflict damage to the helicopter. Also, powering the helicopter exhausts the pilot, which may be recovered by picking up fruits knocked off Tree with Stone. Stone may be also dropped on a hostile monster, knocking it out for a short time. Ugh! was later distributed as a shareware mainly from Bulletin Board Systems and magazine cover disks. The Commodore 64 version of the game also features a two player hotseat mode, in which two players compete to finish the level, while the DOS and Amiga versions feature a cooperative simultaneous two player mode. The game keeps tracks of the player's progress using level codes; the codes for single player levels are Christian Death song titles, the two-player codes are song titles by Current 93.
