| Review (by system)                                                 |
| Since this game is rather old, I've decided merely to list the pros|
| and cons of each version (when compared to another).               |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Arcade:                                                            |
| Pro- original version                                              |
| Pro- available in the arcade (well, duh!)                          |
| Con- original version                                              |
| Con- bosses are unplayable                                         |
| Con- no difficulty setting (well, the owner "could" change it)     |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Neo-Geo:                                                           |
| Pro- home version                                                  |
| Pro- difficulty settings can be changed                            |
| Con- bosses are unplayable                                         |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Turbo CD:                                                          |
| I have never even seen this version                                |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Super Nintendo:                                                    |
| Pro- home version                                                  |
| Pro- difficulty settings can be changed                            |
| Pro- bosses are playable                                           |
| Con- some sprite cuts                                              |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Overall, I'd have to say that the best version would be the Super  |
| Nintendo, followed by the Neo Geo. You should be able to find the  |
| Super Nintendo version at a used game store (or I've "heard" you   |
| download emulators, but that's another issue).                     |
