I've never played this one. Had it not been for this review, I might have seen Rare's name on it and wasted a few hours trying to find the "good parts" that weren't there. Now I know to only nab it if I'm getting it from a shoe box at the flea market.

Intentional, yes. But the real question is: how'd that sneak by the mods? I thought there was a rule against that sort of thing in box art submissions…

I enjoy this sort of review that put a game in its original context but also detaches from nostalgia to see how fun it is today.

If the NES box art is anything like the Sega Genesis one I have, then the cover really is nothing but legs and crotch shots, with the woman being the "leader" of the pack. So there was really no choice there. >_>

Thanks, Sam. I didn't notice that I had done that, and I would imagine most readers won't, either, but it's still something I try to avoid doing and I've tweaked accordingly.

I'm certain that you're right. I seem to be unusually sensitive to that sort of thing.
