I much prefer the Mega Drive sound to the PC Engine's arrangements. It should have sounded more like Gate/Winds of Thunder.

The intro music in the Sega Mega Drive music does sound cool (I feel like rocking out to it when the music intensifies as the captain gives out the orders to "Move 'Zig'" "For great justice"). What's here isn't too bad either, as the tunes are still fitting enough to me. Are there any major differences between the two besides the music?

[sunteam]

Mainly the Mega Drive's parallax scrolling and the extra level in the PC Engine version, but it's been so long since I've played it there may be others.

I see. I've also noted that there was an arcade original to the game. Which of the home console ports might be closer to matching it (though it only had a Japanese release, so I'm not sure if you've played that one before)?

[sunteam]

I would say the Mega Drive version is closer to the arcade. I've added some comparison shots on the website so see for yourself.

Are all Super CD tracks arranged mostly by the same people? Because some of the instruments sounds just like the ones in Fighting Street.

I''m an american, so I can't really have this game, but after hearing the original compared to this one, I like it. awesome MIDI remix. FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

Thanks :D! The Mega Drive does look to be the superior of the two. Thank you for adding the cheat code I've sent you for Keith Courage in Alpha Zones, too.
