One of the ten rarest titles, seldom seen for sale anywhere.

It's close to the original arcade version, but because of the Mega CDs limitations, the 3DO and Playstation versions are visually better ports. But just because the visuals aren't that great doesn't mean it isn't fun to play, it still feels like the arcade game, from the HUD to the radio like dialogue that plays through the entire game. It's also a good first person space shooter for anyone who are interested in those games.
