Played for RetroAchievements. I haven't played the original but just from screenshots I think the 8-bit style really suits this game. It looks great on Game Gear, and it's pretty fun. The final boss is unfair until you know what to do at which point it's pretty easy, and I wish it had some kind of save system (it has "passwords" which are just cheat codes, but no saving passwords? Hello???) but other than that it's super fun. Lots of completionist stuff to do too, at least with RA; will definitely go back to this someday.
