I remember this ROM being a big deal when it
was first released, butI'll be damned if i remember who released it, why,
and why it was such a big deal. Oh well, i guess I'll just wing it as
usual.
It really needs to be noted that this ROM is
either a bad dump, or a very very early prototype of this
game. However, the general consensus around the net is that this is a bad
dump. Damn. I wish someone would come forward with more information
about this dump, so perhaps it could be confirmed bad or redumped.

Anyway,
upon first running the ROM, you are presented with a blank
red screen. Take the ROM out of the emu and blow on
it. That should help.
Just kidding. This ROM
cannot just be loaded and played. When resetting the emu
or initially loading the ROM, hold the SELECT button to
get to the Whack-a-Mole game, or hold START to get to the stage select
screen. |

Now,
this sounds like a lot of options, however, it really
isn't as much as you would think. The Whack-a-Mole
game is completely non-functional, and the picture
above is all that the ROM will load. As far as the
game itself is concerned, the only stage that I have
found that works is Stage 2 Round 1. Selecting
anything else simply causes the ROM to crash. It is
unclear whether this is a bad dump of the ROM, or if
this is the condition of the prototype itself. |

While it is very possible
this ROM is a bad dump, the ammount of completion on the
existing levels indicates a very early
prototype. Non-working Mole Game as well as no enemies on
the one existing level probably means this is NOT a bad
dump, however, until this can be confirmed with the owner
of the prototype, it will remain debatable...
