Played by Exilant in 13:20. This is an emulator-played speedrun. Pretty famous game but the difficulty was horrible. Played as fast as possible and gets hit to save time. Though the game is bad and the soundtrack strange, it sounds cool in some way. This is the japanese version because it got better graphics and smoother gameplay.

I bought this game - the difficulty of it p**sed me off so bad I ended up throwing it in a quarry. And then I borrowed a copy from the local video store and threw that in the quarry as well. Then I peed in the quarry. I was okay after that.
