I chuckled at those names and logos. Why is there a Cylon in it? Did
they have an arcade game back then? :)

Looks like the Cheesy Chinese Knockoffs have hit the arcade. "Just"
is just the sort of typo ("Joust") I expect from those.

I think the Cylon is just generic sci-fi helmet.

In Sunday's Family Guy was a spoof of a creepy Beat'em-up, where Peter was
fighting against the Chinese owner of a dry cleaner in a dispute of
Peter's white shirt (he only owns two of them).

28. Shoot everything. If it blows up or dies, it was evil and deserved it. If
it survives, pick it up - it was probably a bonus.
