INFORMATION
As month three of 2021 starts creeping in, it almost feels like we are finally escaping the horrible winter weather which has affected many areas of the globe.
So I figured, why not play a game where you escape from war.
Hence: P.O.W. for the Neo-Geo
From the Wikipedia:
P.O.W. is a side-scrolling, beat 'em up game, which were typical during the time that it was created. The game can be played by up to two players simultaneously. Player 1 controls a prisoner dressed in blue, while Player 2 controls a palette swap of the same character dressed in red. The objective is to escape from the enemy's base by fighting one's way through four stages filled with numerous types of enemy soldiers trying to impede the player's escape.
The stages consist of a POW camp, a warehouse, a jungle, and the enemy's base. Occasionally the enemy will attack the player with vehicles such as an assault chopper, an armored truck or motorcycles. At the end of the final stage, the player confronts an enemy general before contacting the extraction chopper to pick him up and proceeding his way to the final escape sequence..
PLATFORMS
