I saw this yesterday morning and it made getting up early for work a heck of a lot easier. It’s very simplistic, yet impressive and tons of fun. I would’ve played this game, yet also let the opening sequence play every time before starting a new game. VERY cool!

I can’t say that my memory is quite up to the task of recalling them all, but I usually watched the cut scenes during Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out without skipping. I know I watched more, but that’s all I got now. :)
VERY well done, just goes to show how well the 16 – bit games looked!
