I own the four-player kit of this (you connect two cabinets together). Yes, four-player tag battles before that was ever a thing.

It came out at a very unfortunate time and was overshadowed by its peers. But it offered something quite different and it remains incredibly fun to this day. It has depth enough to hold your attention and as is typical of SNK the bosses are pretty nasty.

Very much worth a try, but much better (like most Neo Geo games) with local multiplayer. Invite some friends over if you're playing this game.
