What the press said at the time

| Sega Pro Issue 26 | December 1993 | 70% |
“Two fighters must blast all who stand in their way, pieking up all the available power-ups. Great two-player action makes this a decent, albeit easy, shoot-’em-up.”

Before you buy
The European cart is the only one. It costs less than the typical European-only cart, and the look-alike risk is low. A US buyer can use it, since the US console plays European carts.
