[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Mad Stalker - Arcade or Super System game?]

Hi everyone,

While updating the review of Mad Stalker on my site, I bumped into something very interesting I would like to discuss here. I've always found weird that Mad Stalker was an Arcade Card game - I feel that it could have totally worked with a Super System Card (and many people seem to share that idea). Anyway, I noticed that there are two hidden screens in the game, and one of them looks like a Super System Card v.3.0 warning screen - was Mad Stalker originally designed as a Super System Card game? And was maybe changed at the last minute for technical or marketing reasons? The current system warning screen in the game feels really cheap and that hidden one would have been much better - could it be because the Arcade Card move was a last minute decision? What do you think?

Here's the review page with images of what I think is the Super System Card v.3.0 warning screen:

Here it is. That's a snapshot I took from the Japanese version's end credits. I was also really surprised the first time I saw Dempa in there. I've always assumed that NEC Avenue programmed the port. And yet, Dempa handled so many other ports of Space Harrier, so it sorts of makes sense...

Some time ago I did an illustration based on Valkyrie No Densetsu:

I also confirm that the Sapphire bootlegs are totally worth buying. I would never have paid $400 for the legit game but my $40 were well spent. This bootleg is incredibly close to the original game, it even has a registration card and a spine if I remember well...

About other pirates/bootlegs, I've been collecting them for a while and they usually look different than original HuCards. Here is a page where I reviewed some of them, but I have a lot more in stock. I've never seen other CDRom bootlegs though...
