I remember this game. It's Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap. I played it on the Sega Master System when I was a kid.

2016-03-26 at 1:57 AM UTCQ: 'Do you say this dog had its head halfway through the fly screen, shaking a bleeding baby?'
A: 'I said it was emerging through the fly screen.'
Q: 'Shaking its head vigorously?'
A: 'I couldn't tell you, now, whether it was shaking its head as it was going through, or before it was through. Its obvious movement was shaking the fly screen at some stage. It was all in a matter of a few seconds, from the time I first saw it to the time I was in the back of the tent, very very fast and moving.'
Q: 'Your evidence is that you saw it shaking its head vigorously, and it was moving the fly screen in the process.'
A: 'I don't know whether its head was shaking the fly screen, or whether what it had in its mouth was hitting against the fly screen.'
Q: 'And what it had in its mouth, we know now, according to you, was a bleeding baby.'
A: 'That's my opinion.'
Q: 'Pardon?'
A: 'That is my opinion.'
Q: 'Well, is there any doubt about it?'
A: 'Not in my mind.'
Q: 'Is it merely your "opinion" or is it something you know as a fact?'
A: 'It is something my heart tells me is a fact. Other people don't think so.'
Q: 'Does it surprise you there was no blood on the fly screen?'
A: 'No. There was blood on the pole. It doesn't really surprise me there was none there. It would depend which angle the animal was, or which angle the wounds were.'
Q: 'Mrs. Chamberlain, you say this child was in the mouth of a dingo which was vigorously shaking its head at the entrance to the tent. That is what you firmly believe, is that right?'
A: 'That's right.'
Q: 'The dog having taken Azaria from the bassinet?'
Justice Muirhead:'Take it steady, Mrs. Chamberlain.'
Q: 'You saw blood on the parka?'
A: 'Yes.'
Justice Muirhead: 'Would you like a spell, Mrs. Chamberlain?'
A: 'No, I'd rather get it over with, Your Honor.'
Muirhead: 'I do not want you to have to answer questions when you are feeling distressed.'
A: 'No, I'd prefer to go on. This has been going on for two years. I want to get it over with.'
Q: 'You say the blood on the parka must have come from the baby?'
A: 'Yes.'
Q: 'When it was in the dog's mouth?'
A: 'Somewhere around that time.'
Q: 'What other time could it have come from the baby?'
A: 'Look, Mr. Barker, I wasn't there. I can only go on the evidence of my own eyes. We are talking about my baby daughter, not some object.'
Justice Muirhead: 'We will adjourn for ten minutes....' -
2016-03-26 at 2:02 AM UTCTestimony of Les Harris,examined by Andrew Kirkham
A. 'I am more concerned, to explore the situation in relation to stationary, or slow-moving, prey....Stationary or slow-moving prey is usually taken head-on, because that is the way the dingo has constructed the situation and, if we are talking about small mammals, it will take the entire head. It will seize the entire head in its jaws, and in one motion it simply closes its jaws, and it will crush that skull. Usually they will accompany this with a sharp shake, which is calculated to break the neck of the animal at the same time....'
Q: 'With your knowledge of dingo behavior and capacity, are you able to offer an opinion as to whether a dingo would be capable of grasping and carrying the child?'
A: 'Yes, it would. There is enough showing that the dingo would make the assessment that it was a mammal, and therefore viable prey. I would envisage that a dingo would, immediately after the instant of identification, make seizure, which would be of the entire head, and it would close its jaws sufficiently to render that mammal immobile. As a continuous operation, it would then continue by making off with the acquired prey. It would have made the seizure by head, and it would be unlikely that it would change its grip in any way. That would have been enough to immobilize the prey.'
Q: Would the dingo [have spent much time in the tent, given what we know was happening around the Chamberlain's tent]?
A: 'No, particularly not in those circumstances....A dingo, a pair of dingoes, will have a territory, and they take their life-time's food supply from that territory. What makes the Ayers Rock area unique is that there has been an artificial food supply provided by tourists, and a number of dingoes forage in one area, and that is very rare. To our knowledge it doesn't happen normally in dingo society.'
Q: 'With your knowledge of dingo attacks, would you expect to see a large amount of blood?'
Barker: 'I object to that.'
Justice Muirhead: [What is the basis for your objection]?
Barker: 'Your Honor, the man is not a pathologist dealing with the body of a baby....We have already been told that the dingo grabs the head, crushes, and shakes....'
Q: Have you [observed much blood from dingo killings in the field?]
A: 'No, there's been very little, and it's characteristic of a kill in the field that little bleeding takes place.'
Q: 'We've heard evidence that a dingo in the Chamberlain tent was seen to shake its head, in the vicinity of the entrance. [Is that inconsistent with what you'd expect from your observations of dingo behavior?]
A: 'No, that's quite consistent, because they are observed to also shake it after they have made the seizure, and the shake is obviously intended to break the neck.' -

You sound kinda salty brah. -
2016-03-26 at 1:27 PM UTCAnd the dingo probably thought the baby was a bit salty and actually needed some ketchup.
