This was the version of the game I started working on first. Currently working on the NeoGeo Pocket Color version on that emulator. It allows save states for practice, if needed.

You can see how irritating some of the mazes are and the parachuting stage, which is a punishment for dying in any of the shooter stages. The parachute stage is extremely anal requiring your timing to be down to the milisecond, when the counter reaches 0.0, however the timer stops appearing a few seconds before it reaches 0.0, so you have to do it blind. Then you have to dodge missles on the way down with extremely sluggish control. You have to dodge ahead of time basically. The hardest part is deploying the shute in time and I wasted most of my continues not understanding the section or timing it right once I did. I got through the parachute stage quicker in the NeoGeo Pocket Color version, since I knew what to do by then.

Stay tuned !!
