   I think I vaguely remember this, didn't you post about it? I thought we   
   found a bunch of wild MW media online(maps, walkthroughs, etc). I guess   
   I could look in to it, see if anything helps with getting my ass handed   
   to me three seconds in to hitting "start". ;)

   Yeah, I've got Taito Legends on the Xbox(has Rastan), played to the last   
   level...but sadly it cuts your continues off when you reach it. Sucks. I   
   need to play it again in MAME with a cheat to give "truly" unlimited   
   credits, just so I can finally see the arcade's ending.

   Yeah, a lot of graph paper is needed, that's for sure. I agree though,   
   it's definitely one of the best, if not *the* best game on the system.   
   Simply incredible for the time it came out, still impresses me to this day.

   External carts. Plus, IIRC, it doesn't have the card slot so that kills   
   any card-based game or any peripheral that uses it. Also, I think it has   
   issues with SMS carts from other regions...which *really* sucks when you   
   look at how many awesome games showed up just in the UK, or Brazil, etc.

   I actually saw a Genesis 3 the other day, my buddy had it. It was so   
   freakin' small, I thought it was a CDX or something at first!
