I remember buying this game... I played the Mega Drive version and had no idea this was out for the Master System. Saw it ina shop and lost my head! I think it was something like £20? So my parents very graciously bought it for me with a second controller thinking that it was multiplayer... turns out it wasn't... but that was ok, we had some multiplayer games at home already so we got our frun from them :D
The game itself is awesome. Hardest one of the three on the Master System. Great graphics, amazing music and mostly great level design (Gimmick Mountain Chaos Emerald... looking at you)
The master system versions of the games are always overlooked. probably because the console did so badly in the states. But they're great games! I'd love to see these games get the lizard Cube treatment one day :D But having a legal way for people to discover and play this game would be sweet.
