The sky-roads to defeat are paced by certainty! These are dangerous threads we live in.

Yep. Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings for sure. The arcade version is great on MAME. The US snes cart, aka Aero Fighters, is an ok port, but super expensive! Not worth it IMO. If you want it for a home console, I'd go for the SFC version, Sonic Wings, instead. Affordable, and you don't miss much in the B-Movie esque dialog.

The price for the SNES version is utter bullshit. A clear example of people falsely bloating the price of a game that's easily found. I got it from Game Crazy for $2.99 just two years ago, when people were charging $50-$100+ for the thing on eBay. It's not rare in the least.

You may try to build a consensus, but first you must build a bridge to her heart.

That link doesn't explain away how often I saw Aerowings at EBs, Funcolands, and Gamestops before 16-bit titles were tossed by the wayside. It also goes against my having to only pay $2.99 at Game Crazy before they ditched 16-bit titles, while eBay was charging far, far more for it.

I have a hard time accepting that I was somehow "lucky" over and over again.

Well, you can always go and tell them, I suppose!

I paid seven dollars for the PCB, haha. I see it on ebay all the time, and it rarely goes for more than thirty. I also got the Japanese Saturn version for four dollars in a lot of five games that I paid twenty for... mame of course is always free. There are a lot of options besides the snes cart. It is really weird though that it's so expensive.
