Changed line(s) 75 (click to see context) from:
* CallAHitPointASmeerp: The Golgo 13 light-gun arcade games reward/punish for accuracy instead of whether you (playing as Golgo) get hit. You start the game with 100% "reliability". Do well on a typical mission and you will gain 30% reliability up to the 100% maximum but no further. Miss the mark and your reliability goes down 80%. When your reliability goes down to 0%, you can't get a job (not only that, the game over screen more than implies that Golgo is being tortured because all of his botched contracts) because you're, well, not reliable, and you'll have to continue or accept a game over. All in all, it's a reasonably clever take on Calling A Hit Point A Smeerp while avoiding the Hostage Spirit Link problem: you won't take damage for hitting the wrong people, but nobody will trust you enough to hire you as a hitman.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the early days of the NES when [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nintendo Nintendo of America]] was heavily censoring all games for anything even slightly offensive, Golgo 13's game came over with all it's murder-y goodness intact, and ''even included several sex scenes!'' (Not literally shown on camera, but the dialogue makes clear what's about to happen, then the lights dim and Duke and the woman's silhouettes come together.) You can also find a pair of cigarettes at one point and Duke will have a smoke.
