These days you hardly see an arcade cabinet without a gun of some sort attached to it. Back when Crossbow was released there was only its prequel, and that god awful Clay Shooter and Periscope. Thing is, Crossbow was better than any of them. It had RPG characters, amazons, knights and a genocidal barbarian. They walked across the screen collecting fruit, assailed by crows, ghosts and evil toothbrushes, with the same steely determination of escaped lunatics. You had multiple paths of death, chasms and enough devils to scare Simbad but it was shooting perfection.<BR>Ok the last boss was a bit cack but his castle was shit hot.<BR>Play this game. Play it and die happy.
