Personal review

This game is the pirate version of megaman, I guess. you get to choose which missions you want to face with only a small number of bosses, then you fight the wizard level where you repeat all the bosses you fought before, but it's hard due to seemingly random enemy placement. What makes it possible to beat parts of it is the tons of continues you get.
It's hard even in emulation to beat it, i havn't yet. BTW it only runs on one emulator that i know of... nestopia. from sourceforge people. sweet game, would be sweeter if someone found all the secrets. remember. Hurt the wizard every chance you get, kill the wizard in time to save the princess.
