It's either impossible, or takes so much time that it's not worth doing.) IMO, great game, and a good glimpse at some of the creativity that fed into Square's games during the Famicom/Super Famicom era, and something that I feel is lacking in their games today. It's definitely a better shooter than Hector '87, at any rate.

The squiggle, btw, increases your jump stat. Alex just happened to get hit by a fireball at the same time he grabbed the power up. It's definitely a RTFM kind of game. There is a continue mode, for example (press select on the title screen), that will let you play the training stages over and over again in order to level-up your characters before taking on the final stage. I like the format you have when one of you knows how to play the game and one of you doesn't. It has worked well so far. PS -- do a Dragon Buster II episode!
