   There is a rom out there that uses the shadow and lighting effect to   
   crate 1024 simultaneous colors.  It's the image that I'm using for my   
   color count icons now (with the colors scaled down to suit each 64 color

   It is a free flying overhead shooter and a forced side scrolling shooter   
   depending on what level you are on.  Fantasy Zone was all side   
   scrolling, but let you go backward and forward.  The only other shooters   
   I've played like the overhead section of TFII are Herzog Zwei, Star   
   Flight and Star Control.

   ME's uneven audio instrument volume problems blows me out every time I   
   try to play something on it.  It's good for a test, but I just can't   
   tolerate it for a full play through.

   It's 2D backgrounds with (really bad) 3D characters.  The gameplay has   
   already ruined this one for me.  It is actually more difficult to aim   
   and shoot than RE1 if you can believe it.  What's worse is that all of   
   the enemies have weapons and once they start opening fire you just don't   
   have time to aim anymore.

   Rats!  I had forgotten about that AC adapter, this one didn't come with   
   one either.  Ah well, I can just go and snag that adapter for my universal.
