Rest in Pixels - This is How Code Name: Viper Dies
Episode #16 - Rest in Pixels #16 - Inspired by Namco's popular Rolling Thunder arcade series, Capcom takes a stab at the War on Drugs with Code Name: Viper for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. While a blatant rip-off of a four year old game, I always had a soft spot for the man code named Viper. Was it the exciting South American forests, the straight-forward story or the star's super-human ability to jump? No, it was the way he died. This is how Kenny Smith dies in Code Name: Viper.
