Pales in comparison to the nes version. The graphics are ugly and distracting. It is difficult to tell what guns are which because they all look the same. The music is fine, but the controls are sloppy. The bullets lack impact on the enemies and it can be hard to tell if your actually damaging the bosses (lack of noticable sound effects). Life was better before I played this version. Start with the Nes version and pretend this doesnt exist.
