At the time this was an awesome port, not ness. an awesome game, but converting what was on expensive arcade hardware to a near similar home port was kick ass and if you remember, one of the Genesis's early call to fame (I remember commercials/ads showcasing Altered Beast, Afterburner, and Shinobi). The game itself was enjoyable at first but quickly got a bit boring. After beating it once, which didn't take long, you would have to let it set for sometime until wanting to play it again. Overall I love this game for what it represented early on for the Genesis/Sega.
