it rose from its grave
I immediately clicked on this thread to make a variation on this joke, and you beat me to it by an hour...in a Lemmy retrocomputing community. I knew we'd grow up one day, I just didn't know this is what it would look like.
And it POWERED UP
The pizza place I worked at as a teen had this game and we had the key. So we'd pop it open and add tons of credits and play forever. This phrase is indelibly marked upon my brain.
It was one of the three Genesis games my cousin had while he was living with my grandma. To say it was played a lot is an understatement, however the arcade coin-sucking tactics were still in play (with no continues!) so playing it longer than an hour was painful.
Pizza King. Tell me it was Pizza King?!
Sorry to disappoint, but it was not. It was Double-Decker Pizza. Except this was a small local chain of two restaurants, not the one that you find on the internet today.
