   It's so fucking awesome...even just alone it's so fucking awesome.

   Well, again, it's just a single static screen that does it, nothing   
   in-game...but just the fact that they managed to pull it off is impressive.

   Oh man, CoC is so good too...I don't know that I could choose...well, I   
   guess I could, I'd go with CoC just because it's a lot easier.

   Does it ever get out of the overhead view and back to a vertical or   
   sidescrolling shooter? I could live with it if these Fantasy Zone-like   
   levels weren't the entire game...

   I'm still having issues...but I am going to try a few more things.

   I am trying to remember if it has any actual polygons in the backgrounds   
   and I just can't remember. I had AitD Trilogy on Mac, back when I had my   
   Mac but I just never got around to putting in much time with any of them.

   Did you ever manage to get an AC Adapter, or did this one come with one?   
   Wait until you see how some games(MotorHead, for example) use the rumble   
   to simulate the engine shaking the car. It's wild.
