The game is outright fixed
Reviewed By: paulojrmam on 30 Sep 2023I’m pretty sure if the game had been released back in the day in the shape that this hack puts it, it would’ve become one of the celebrated Sega Genesis games, one of the 16-bit games that people now remember fondly and always put on lists, hell it might’ve received a remake or revival by now. It’s that good. Finally enjoyable in its single player, and all it took was slight rebalancing and change in difficulty (and making overkills easier, those sure would’ve helped its popularity back when). A great game was hidden beneath a coat of being inaccessible. Every Genesis fan interested in playing its best exclusives should give this version at least a try.
