This was really a terrific review of a game I've been interested in for years, but have yet to play (because I like to own actual carts, not ROMs). I'll have to renew my search for a copy of this.

Wasn't part of the reason for this game being so obscure because there was a huge delay in shipping. A ways later, Nintendo Power had an article about some high-quality NES games that went below the radar, including this one. I think they said it was about 6 months after their review that it actually hit the shelves, so that might have affected sales, especially if all magazine coverage took place that long before it actually was released.

I was just saying to Felix over AIM that this was a killer review.
For us. For them. For you. |

I got this game really cheap when I was like 6 or 7 because I thought the robot on the cover looked cool.

This was a good read. I actually own the Nintendo Power issue you refer to in your review.

I haven't read the issue; I only know that the game is on the cover and featured in a lengthy article. Does it contain anything of interest, or is it like a mini-strategy guide?

As I recall it was their standard picture-laden guide. I recall thinking the game looked pretty sweet back in the day, with some cool levels and bosses.
