lol so relevant. I can only imagine Punch's excitement when he sees through his e-mail that he got a response. "Yes! someone knows how to finish that fucking level! Lookout China Warrior, your ass is mi... son of a bitch, I've just been trolled". The sad thing, is that I was about to submit this post making him relive that exact same agonizing moment a few days later... damned conscience.
I haven't played this game for very long, so I personally can't offer any instruction, but I did find this page at game faqs
http://www.gamefaqs.com/tg16/588925-china-warrior/faqs/47145They also had this cheat code, if it helps:
Three Continues
Hold I + II + Right and press Run, Run when the phrase ''The End'' appears after game play is over. Alternatively, hold I + II + Down and press Run at the title screen after game play is over. The game will continue up to three times from the start of the last level played.
Hope this helps.
