TurboGrafx-16 version

P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N-!

The Good
Better than the original arcade version because of the PC Engine's controller. Graphically equal, more so than any other home version of this game. Very smooth, like the arcade, sounds great, music's great, and is on a HuCard, so can be played on the go in the TurboExpress.

The Bad
A tad harder than it should be, and some cheap hits happen. Kind of clunky, though that could be the voltage difference between Japan and the US for AC adapters.

The Bottom Line
Take this HuCard, build some adapters to use the NES Advantage joysticks, go get some arcade cabinet instructions and build an arcade machine around this game. It's that perfect.
