I have to admit I never played this game in an arcade until well after I got
it with my first genesis. As simple as it was on the genesis there was still
something extremely different about it. Yeah is was a basic side scrolling fight
the never ending army of repetition coming at you. And yeah there were
power-ups. But it had this little story line to it. And the characters were
larger and more detailed. This was standard by the time it came out on the
genesis.
But hey, this is in the arcade section and not the console section. Do you
know what that means boys and girls? ( I have always wanted to say that :) Take
a look at these pics.
Yes, it is a Sega system 16 arcade board with the altered beast rom set. I
came across this by accident in a trade somewhere. Wow. A game I can legally
play on MAME :) As soon as I get better I'll post some screen shots and other
cool stuff.
