Fascinating story on the weird cart variant, no idea what that could be! Yeah maybe a metroid-like where the previous area gets blown into oblivion was not the best call. might be cool if they polish it up for a remaster I suppose?
Is hard to hate a game with a "beautiful 16 yearsold old cyborg girl". If I was a teen in 1986 probably would have bought that game. Maybe they can reboot the franchise with my life as a teenager robot crossover.
@@RndStrangerThat's what I was thinking too, but I've seen repro/pirate carts of other obscure games like Layla out there (that cart was also black as well when it should of been blue) so that's what my thought process or logic was.
You forgot to mention the best part: the manual telling you not to be greedy because power can overflow back to 0
Haven't heard of such a classic example of "It's not a bug, it's a feature !" in a looong time :D
What if they just ran out of blue at the factory and only had black ?

This seems like a decent game that deserves a modern rebuild/remaster treatment. I wonder who even has the rights to it at this point?
Kemco are still around so i'm pretty sure they have the rights still.
Beutiful cover art.
Agreed. Love that 80s anime style
...huh. Looks like a conversion of a Japanese PC game, using elements of Bomberman, and giving our protagonist Mario's color palette.
Oh yeah flip screen graphics scream MSX or PC-88

Could be wrong here, but it could possibly be a repro or fake copy (you would have to compare the boards though)
I'm not going to say it's impossible, but Space Hunter would be a weird choice to counterfeit. Though maybe it's a pirate cart from the 80's...

I presume you already confirmed it's not black paint!
I played this game all the way to the end this month and all I have to say is, I'm so sick of that song that plays throughout the game.
i played this in the 80s, its a shit game
