Just finished another playthrough of Pocky and Rocky. (With lots of save states.) Still a classic. Love all the characters and enemies, and the gameplay is excellent. Fun graphics, fun music.

I would love to see a re-release of this game, similar to what has been done with Wild Guns and Ninja Warriors. It'd be fantastic to get this one running without slowdown...
In the meantime, I need to give Pocky and Rocky 2 a try some time. I've never actually played it.
