81 days until the vernal equinox
I don’t have a rule against playing games I’ve played before. That’s just how things typically end up. For instance, I own copies of Rockin’ Kats and Fantasy Zone. My friend had Claymates.
I'm playing the Super NES version of this.
There’s a Genesis version but the graphics are worse, the colors are muddier, the game runs slightly faster which might actually be a bad thing, the music, I don’t know, probably about the same but maybe the grindy Genesis sound fits the game’s aesthetic more.
I’ve played this very briefly. I was really intrigued by a Nintendo Power article about it. They also had something about an adapter that could change the game speed. I thought I had the rom for this but maybe that was on my Grape iMac.
So, despite getting a feature in Nintendo Power, this game was just forgotten about, with nary a guide on Gamefaqs. Fun fact: Someone found the source code to the SNES version on an eBay bought hard drive. Apparently, it got a PSP port.
This isn't going to be a guide but I'll offer this advice: Savor that feeling of anticipation because you know you're going to be disappointed by the real thing.

burning question: who the hell in 1993 makes a game in which you can’t change the control scheme?
