Promotional VHS tape given away through a mail-in coupon advertised in gaming magazines.

It had three purposes, -promote the Duo, hype Lords Of Thunder and trash the Sega-CD.

  • Very funny how they trash the Mega CD using this game, and it turned out that this was also released for the Mega CD afterwards. Great owned LoL.

  • I think that this is one of the main reasons why Genesis-fanatics are quick to trash the generally considered inferior Sega-CD port as a poor job, when in fact it's an amazing conversion.

    Since it was a showcase for the Duo, they don't want to admit that the graphics can't be replicated on Sega-CD.

  • It's a good conversion but the colors suffer (the Turbo could handle more), as bigolebadassbob explained. NEC was banking on this game to win over a lot of the Sega crowd, which of course didn't play out to their expectations. Sad. The PCE-CD was packed with software inc. Dracula X which NEC was insane for not distributing on US shores. Instead, they were pushing crap like Impossamole and Air Zonk which was a severe letdown. Too bad because they could've been competition.

  • I've heard that Konami never let anyone else publish their games anywhere back then so NEC/TTI never had a chance to bring them over.

    That still left plently of amazing NEC and Hudson games though...
