Well I enjoyed it a lot. I wouldn't mind owning some of those bootlegs. They're usually totally content-driven, down to earth, jolly good fun, sometimes with weird Chinese quirks and dangerously prone to breaking and explosions. Like levels starting like that *snaps fingers* without any intro or silly whatnots.

Undesired, unwanted them...

I think I just died a little inside watching that. Somehow they managed to managed to take a good game and completely make it junk, despite ripping it off almost pixel by pixel. (As much as is possible for that kind of conversion to lower hardware.)

It's impressive...but impressively bad.

I thought it was funny how the entire game only had 4 stages.

That and the fact it's a complete clone of R-Type.
