Looks like I found a good candidate for a FC game to get next. Sounds like a fun game and, unlike the US NES version, it's dirt cheap. Looks like one of those Irem carts with the LED on it too!

Yeah, it's one of those totally unheralded gems that happily still goes for peanuts. If it helps any, Irem LED carts got later prints without the light, which are supposedly rarer+costlier. Serendipity is strong with this one! The LED's a very cool novelty, and a legit handy touch on an OG Famicom.

Imma play a bit tonight. Some of the fastest hori zako rushes on the system. Gradius 1 FC's my favourite for simple frantic hori shooting, but it don't got that bent "UNDER DE SEA" charm!
