Shackled has got to be one of the easiest, if not the easiest, arcade games to finish. It’s bonkers.

Thanks for uploading George – never played this one so I’ll check it out. Reminds me of an Alien Syndrome and Gauntlet mash up, with added braindead kierens to slay for extra motivation!
it’s lesser known in that pantheon, I suppose, although it was also (fairly badly) converted for home systems, too. It’s quite good fun for what it is, although repetitive and the combat isn’t the best I do like the ability to swap weapons and have a big group of people firing alongside you.
Almost certainly put there by the programmers for testing purposes, to check and test that the game completion sequence worked properly I would guess. Surprised they didn’t remove it before finalising the code! Maybe they forgot about it? Funny!
got to be, really, mate, eh? I can’t think of any other reason and, yes, they probably just forgot to patch it out. “oops”
