MiSTer FPGA – Jail Break (マンハッタン24分署) [1cc] / Konami Arcade

At first I wasn’t very fond of this one because of the loose firing mechanic where you don’t always shoot in the direction you are facing. Many tries later I finally made it to the 3rd stage boss and started warming up to the challenge, making it a little further each time I tried. My goal for a video kept shifting from getting to each successive stage in the game, thinking that would be enough and I would leave it there. I realized I was getting very close to the end and finally was able to clear it my first time in this video.

The game loops after you clear it, which is quite insane after the dexterity required to get through this even the first time. I played into the first stage of the second loop as far as I could manage, with things being significantly more difficult than the first round. I’m really a sucker for run-and-gun games like this, even the ones that aren’t quite top tier. Taking the time to learn the stages was an extreme practice in patience, but luckily it’s not a long game so it only took a few hours of attempts over a couple days. As always on my channel- no superplays watched to learn this; all learned by trial and error. I also avoided using turbofire of any kind, to avoid killing civilians and challenge myself to the stock experience.

Some parts of this game are just dastardly tough. You really have to memorize how to come into the scenarios to reliably survive them. The game spawns additional enemies if you take your time, so a brisk pace is required as well.

There are hidden bonus points in the oil cans if you shoot them with the rocket launcher. Funny enough, Batman pops out of the barrels and awards you the 5000 points. Getting bonus points is pretty important in this one, in order to stock up on extra lives.

I actually had never heard of this one until it came to MiSTer, and it looks, sounds and plays wonderfully here. Another quality entry in a long line of Konami run-and-guns like Green Beret, Iron Horse, The Lone Ranger and Sunset Riders.

Thanks to MiSTer-X for the original Green Beret core this was based on, Blackwine for the initial port of Jailbreak based on that and Ace for polishing it up to the state it’s in today. JimmyStones added high score saving support as well.
