Definitely. When I was playing it I thought it was a bug, but after a bit of online research all was revealed. Some may call it a limitation of the hardware, I call it upping the challenge.🙂

Very true. An unexpected plus in a way. Pac Man unable to munch in reverse gave it an added challenge.

No doubt. The legendary game was almost everywhere. Always good to see and play the gameplay differences.

Yeah it has some good company in its genre and a solid upgrade from the original.

It’s a fun one and still very playable.

It definitely felt like a major event when the console was released. Another pioneer of great gaming was born.

Another SMS classic for me. SEGA sure knew how to bundle some great games together.

He sure did. A good thing though. Last thing he needed was to have any racing energy sucked right out of him.

For a game with religious symbolism it sure makes one curse a bit.

Probably the planets way of saying thanks for ridding of the alien force.

😄 Love how your mind sees things many would miss.
