Heavy on the action, Ikari Warriors became a favorite both in the arcades and on home consoles. To fuel that frenzy, SNK and Tradewest teamed up again for a sequel, Victory Road, released later that same year.
This time, the Ikari Warriors take on more cosmic foes, battling rock-headed beasts, one-eyed green men and other odd creatures.
You only get one life in Ikari Warriors II, but you can get around that by pressing A, B, B, A before the Game Over screen appears to continue where you left off (except in the final stage).
