Nice updated graphics, but I'm pretty **** at this game. I remember playing this on my C64, ahh the memories. What I would like to see is some Streets of Rage.
I think I prefered the Atari ST version I had (even managed to complete it on that) this seems a lot harder than I remember.

I'm hoping for a version of Shadow Warriors (I know it was unlockable in Ninja Gaiden on the x-box, but I could never find all the golden bugs to do it). I also had SW on the ST, and now I've got the music in my head :help:
