In this stream I played Rock'n Rage by Konami (1986) on a Pi5 running the FinalBurn Neo emulator under Batocera (phew!)
This is not a good game. In any way shape nor form. The only thing that's any good at all is the music and even that's not memorable. The hit boxes are inconsistent and cheap deaths abound. If you take too long on a level you'll get killed by an unavoidable blue fist. Too long being any deviation from the fastest path possible. Rage is what you feel when playing this game and, while I did get a score of 69,100 on stream, this game has been added to my, "Never Play This Crap Again" list.
TL;DR - WTF Konami?
