One of the ealier games for the SEGA MedaDrive/genesis and one that didn't receive much praise. What didn't help was the complete distancing from the Fist of the North Star IP when it came to the west. The result is a non sensible romp with some... questionable physics in play. Bodies exploding is a no go, but sending off screen at mach 5 apparently was okay. Just don't show they wall afterwards...
The game isn't all bad, it does some pretty cool things actually, especially for an early title. But it's very, very hard and doesn't offer any continues. So, don't expect me to get very far!
Thanks to Alan Markley for suggesting this one to try out!

This is part of my Let's Check series. In these video's I take an unscripted look at a game I feel like talking about, for whatever reason. These video's range from first impressions on games I have no experience with, to some gameplay of games I want to show of, but don't want to devote a whole review or Let's Play to. Of course I will still share my opinion on the game, as I will no doubt make a fool out of myself with my abysmal gaming skills. If you enjoy these kind of video's, then check out the playlist on my channel to find more: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL578967AE2C52CA30
