Games of Arcade Insanity Part 1 Satan's Hollow

Are you a big Galaxian fan, but don’t find its space theme compelling? Wish that instead you could battle the forces of Darkness in a very similar Spaceship? Well then “Satan’s Hollow” could be just the game for you. In this arcade classic you battle through crazy level after crazy level. All the while battling demons and devils in your up-gradable gold ship. Meanwhile you have an overarching goal – to build a bridge to the bonus level, where you battle Satan himself.


Destroy Satan and a flaming chalice full of extra points will be all yours. Not to mention an extra laser for your Hellship.
Really brings back memories. I pumped lots of tokens into this machine at Chucky Cheese back in the day. I mean who could resist this thing. Look at that cabinet. That combat style joystick glowing red in the blacklight. I just had to have one of my very own. It exemplifies what parent’s in the 1980s feared most about video games and also exemplified what made them Great – Compelling visuals and graduated gameplay difficulty.


                                                           Here's a video of the gameplay





I have been seeking one of these shirts for some time now, but my search has been in vain. I guess I would have to make some sort of deal with the devil to get one,though it might be worth it.
