Wow, this is a pretty "interesting" bug, don't think it was mentionned before (outside Japan at least). Btw I alwas though those looked more like turtles, I was a bit confused when I read birds haha :mrgreen:

I emailed Hamster a few months earlier about another release : never recieved any answer. Hope you don't suffer the same fate.

Thanks a lot for spreading the Metal Black love, including the "bonus" stages :mrgreen:. Eager to see the update 8)

Greetings everyone, first post here. Just wondering if anyone knows what difference the various Difficulty settings make to Metal Black? For both the MAME dipswitch settings and the options toggle on the Saturn version, there's four difficulty settings to choose from, going from:
Easiest
Medium/Normal
Hard
Hardest/Very Hard

By default the game is set to Medium/Normal, but if I change it to Hardest/Very Hard, I honestly can't notice a difference. Does it just set the game ranking so it's always highest instead of having to survive past Stage 4?
