Great NES Run n Gun Platformer, Lacking An Oomph To Compete In '91
Preliminary: Ahhh 1991 is going to take forever. Every game so far has been well worth a proper play session. I figured an NES run n gun/platformer would be quite passable in 1991, and the controls are a bit clunky especially with movement + attacking, but I'm already borderline hooked, they did the different characters really well, and the music …

Ahhh
I do wish you got healed after bosses or something. Or some collectible to heal?
Day 1
Nice finished Mission 1 without any guides, cheats, etc. It seems Nintendo games were uh, more doable for me when they were NA releases :-p I wonder why ;) haha. Cool that they give you a password and that you get to select different characters for each mission.
I am starting to debate calling it quits and a 3 star. As good as the Play is, it still has the NES sprit flicker/slow down and lacks something, like a particularly good Look (and tho the Sound is good, it's still missing an oomph). But then I finish whatever boss I'm on and can't help but continue :-p
Yeahhhh on 2-2, another one of those non-linear levels where you have to find the checkmarks, I burned out. Still, a great, late NES title.
Look: 7/10
Sound: 8/10
Play: 7.5/10
Feel: 8/10
Attachment: 7.5/10 Full of neat ideas. Just a bit "late to the party" for the NES and lacking an "oomph"/1991-level-Look/etc . I can imagine how excellent this would ahve been with SNES capabilities!
Overall: 7.6/10
Completion: Mission 2-2
Playtime: ~30 mins
