A mythology-flavored Genesis beat 'em up that is among the pricier US carts.

Before you buy
Among US carts it is one of the pricier ones. The Japanese cart (Mao Renjishi) usually costs about the same loose and noticeably more complete, and it is a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
