Wait, why are people working with PCE Works on this instead of someone with a less sullied reputation?

I was suprised to see Chris's name on there, but perhaps he felt that the availability of a free-to-download ROM version of the "bug-fixed" game was going to be worthwhile enough for him to contribute his time and skills.
Don't know the other folks.

My guess is that one doesn’t get a chance to decide who one works with on a project like this… the ROM was tightly-held for 30 years. I’m sure there are still a few ROMs out there in the same situation (PC Cocoron, Marble Madness, etc.).
These things go up for auction and sell to an individual who needs to be motivated enough to learn about the potential sale, bankroll it somehow, and then decide to make it public (despite the seller demanding assurances that it not be published).
Kind of like with stolen museum artifacts, if you want to see the item, you don’t get to choose who you deal with.

Hi, folks. I was happy to take a look at any unreleased game and see what bugs could be fixed, but the fact that the original game's creator gave his approval and the ROM would get a public release made it a worthwhile effort.
Also the backroom deal that happened about 9 years ago with the sale of the other Dino Force prototype stuck in my craw.

I’d rather the ROM disappear forever than work with this max prick.

Honestly I'm happy this game got finished, I'm happy Chris worked on it, and I'll pay a premium for new pc engine games coming out, and for older games like this seeing the light of day/getting fixed up. I get why folks don't like PCEworks but in this case everything is on the up and up and I want to support more games coming out so... I'm getting it.

I’m disappointed this is the way it has to happen, but I’m not going to fault any well-meaning participants for their calculus. I hope the original unaltered ROM image will find its way to the Video Game History Foundation.

Just tested it out and it works great on my V2 everdrive. Doesn't work with my older V1.2 everdrive though for whatever reason. It is an original one and not a Chinese knock off.
Nevermind! Re-formatted my SD card and it works just fine now in the older Everdrive as well.

I tried it out for awhile on my MiSTer last night. Seems pretty cool and I’m looking forward to spending some time with it.

I've put a good chunk of time into the game and it plays very different compared to other shooters. Takes a while to get used to having to lift your finger/thumb off of the fire button so the upper and lower options can damage enemies. I made a short review with gameplay if anyone cares www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ozdmg9cnM&t=55sCheat codes 10 extra lives. At title screen press button II, button 1, then Select. Then start the game by pressing run. Sound test At title screen Press button 1, button II, then Run.
