Play I'm Sorry Online

I'm Sorry was an arcade game released in 1985 by developer Coreland and publisher Taito. It came out during a period when arcade cabinets were experimenting with more satirical and politically charged themes, though it never gained the same level of recognition as many of its peers. The game stood out for its bizarre premise rather than its technical achievements, fitting right in with the oddball humor that occasionally surfaced in mid-80s arcades.

You control a disgraced prime minister who must collect gold bars while avoiding celebrities, wrestlers, and other figures trying to stop him. The main objective is to deposit all the gold in a bank vault before time runs out or your health is depleted. Signature mechanics include punching enemies with a giant, extendable fist and jumping over obstacles in a single-screen, multi-directional chase. The pacing is frantic, with enemies swarming quickly and the narrow corridors offering little room for error. It feels like a chaotic, almost absurd race against both the clock and a parade of angry public figures.
