         I've only seen two versions, one with everything intact, and one   
   with the skinless dinosaur, a gargoyle instead of Batman, shaved head   
   Rambo and the Spiderman copywrite screen.  I know that the version in   
   the Pack disk that came with the Sega CD is the later, I would bet that   
   the 6-pak is as well.

   If you start making it your priority to get powered up and start using   
   that sword, rather than throwing shuriken like it's a contra game, I'm   
   sure that you'll find the game *much* easier.
