One credit clear of the last belt scroller beat'm up developed by Konami on arcade in 1993.
Third chapter of the Crime fighters saga, maybe the hardest of the three,
require two loop to complete, with second loop considerably harder with different enemies
disposition and a lot of new enemies encounter (bosses are mostly the same).
Also most bosses require frame perfect specific tactics to beat,
while the last boss often require more then one life because of the strict timing to pass his defence.
I used Kyle , the fastest/weakest/longest reach character, not very good for scoring but fun to play.
Game has some cameo from previous Konami, a Twin Bee toy (and another toy i can't figure out),
and a couple of arcade cabinet in st. 7, one is Scramble while the other one seem Penta from
Penguin adventures, a popular and fun MSX game,
also a boss battle theme remind me of some gradius theme, very good OST btw.
I played Japan version (JAC) on wolfmame 0.264 w/o autofire.
