Thanks! That's some fast action there. I like the opening "brain-lightning" sequence. Never played the game though... :redface:

Over rated I think. I remember all the magazines creaming themselves over it. So I decided to buy it only to find it was like all Treasure games (apart from Guardian Heroes), over hyped. It's basically a 2D walk along beat'em up with path options. The main 2D character sprites can look quite ugly as well. This is what I though of it 10 years ago. Maybe now I'll have a different opinion.

For a first gen game, compared to garbage like "reloaded" that was out at the time,it was a godsend.

It looks like crap, but it's hard as hell if you set the difficulty. With some strategy, a team is what makes the game. You can make your stats to have high hp, or magic, etc.

It's a very fun game that you have to be a fan of beat-em-ups to enjoy.

Were there any major differences between the JPN and US region versions? I used to have both, but I sold the Japanese version for a tidy sum to a happy buyer and I've always wondered if he knew something that I didn't.

Japanese has some vocals taken out of the us version.

Looks like I'll have to give this another try sometime. Sound like it may be worth trying again from ASSEMblers discription.
