A 1-credit clear of the arcade game Success Joe [scessjoe], played with WolfMAME 0.257. A genuinely unsettling game. It probably wasn't intended to be creepy but the eerie grating music, the bloody boxer faces, the lonesome echoes of voices and punch sound effects combine to make potent nightmare fuel. Strategy notes below.
Stage 1: Dodge (down+left) up to four punches then counter
Stage 2: When he approaches, mash Up+A
Stage 3: Hit A+B at the same time to dangle your arms, then when he approaches hit up+A
Stage 4: Dangle your arms, then when he approaches hit up+B
Stage 5: Strafe left or right and punch until he jumps and ducks down in front of you. Wait just a moment, then punch 4 times in a row (he'll stand into your first punch and eat the rest)
Stage 6: Dangle your arms, then when he approaches hit up+A
