I loved this game!
@jbecker8082
I have the same exact story. It was less frustrating just to watch dad play. I also remember turning it on and just listening to the soundtrack.
@JokinJoe My story isn’t as sad, but I was about 5 when my dad bought this for SNES and I would watch him play it and think he was the best in the world… I would try to play it too, but I never thought I was as good as he was.
I found a copy of this game for $3 at Half Price Books. Man, what a steal! Some of the most epic SNES music EVER!
@nintygaming Yes, that is precisely what I’m saying.
@Dant2142
So basically your saying that in a “Technical” stance, the SNES is obviously superior. But that doesn’t mean that, for example, the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy sounds better than the NES Ninja Gaiden games, when considering the way they are “composed”. If that’s what your saying, then yes, I agree.
And yes the Ninja Gaiden series sounds better on NES. The SNES versions are lacking in heart and soul.
@nintygaming It’s not about what the hardware is, just how you use it. Go look at some C64 demos if you don’t believe me. The SNES sound great when used right, and so did the Genesis.
my fav arcade game ever
Another fine example of how the SNES has a FAR superior sound chip than the Genesis.
@kibjohn I tottaly agree, I used to play alot of these old games and I still think they are the best of todays games, now everything is about graphics and sales not about bringing pleasure to the ones that are playing
try the gamer dificulty it’s just awesome.
Lol, Chocolate Rain
@nevarezga try the extra hard mode. To activate it you must press select + x while hiting left on the d-pad (or was it right?) anywho, try it out… it blows one’s mind
One of the best soundtracks to the older games.
Yep. But it’s worth mentioning, some of us who played video games for a while are starting to miss 2D gaming because that was when the good times of gaming were.

I agree. After 3 dimensions hit video gaming, the video game cult following died down drastically. There’s a reason The NES sold 61 million copies, and then the super nintendo sold just under 50 million, N64 at 30 million, the gamecube at 21 million.
Must… Make This… MY RINGTONE!!!
Nice!! Good job!!
Best Game Ever.
I’m glad ur not the only one….I still play my NES, SNES, Genesis, and PS1 more than the recent game systems. Don’t get me wrong, the new systems are good, but nothing will ever beat the classics.
I hear ya bro.
I was still playing N64 in 2004 and that was the year I got a PS2. Though, I barely play my PS2…However, I still play the older game systems, SNES/NES/Sega Genesis than these newer systems. After PSX/N64/Dreamcast/Saturn, the spark of video games just died out. Now, gaming is all about graphics and people talking sh*t on PSN or XBLA. It is worth mentioning, the horrendous Xbox and PlayStation fanboys which makes the gaming scene bad.

i remember playing this, i absolutely LOVED the game. i would spend hours playing it at home while every other kid was playing their stupid xbox or ps2. (btw it was already 21st century)
@Keen8000 there hasn’t been a decent dogfighting game years.
@Camwi Well I am not sure what to say. It is just shitty with bad gameplay, sound, and graphics. I have no idea why they like it so much.
Although I am sure another mob of nerds will downvote this comment, too!
I haven’t played the game myself, but I’m surprised to see the hate for the game. I know ScrewAttack are huge fans of it.
