Wow, this game is a mess on the database, with each individual port inexplicably having their own page, except for a couple of the home computer ports for some reason? And IGDB declined my attempt to just put every port on the same damn page.

I've played the Supergrafx version, which doesn't even show up on the search because it's listed with the Japanese name, my god video game databases are a disaster.

Anyway, this is one of those games where I seriously question if it's actually "good", or if nerds have just been gaslit into believing that, Battletoads style. It's surely visually appealing, but this "fuck the player!" design philosophy of the 80s and early 90s is just... not good. It's a lot of memorization and trial and error and even RNG - not every weapon is built the same, and what weapon you get is completely random.

You can help porting off the home computer ports as well. And when games aren't released in another language, they get the title in the original language (it's the case of the Supergrafx port)

@dleo I actually don't want to create even more pages for this one game. And keeping the original Japanese title just makes searching for it super inconvenient. I only found it by filtering to Supergrafx releases, since it's such a tiny library.
