I really love this game. It's fascinating to see how much this forgotten port influenced later CV titles, and it even has some perks of it's own. Sadly, MSX2 emulation isn't perfect, and M.E.S.S. (the emulator Vizzed uses for old-school computers) has some problems with this game.

First, it runs way too fast! It sure is better than lag, but it still makes the game harder to play. I bet this can be easily fixed, as other MSX games don't have the problem...

Second, although this is a problem that affects all MSX games here on Vizzed. M.E.S.S. is set to automatically use PAL hardware when running titles developed for Microsoft's OS, and while this means that games always run in English, it also means that they run on 30fps instead of the NTSC machine's 60fps. Since most games for the console/computer doesn't contain any significant text, it should be preferable configuring Vizzed's M.E.S.S. to run in NTSC mode and/or have a region switch option like the disk swap option in PS1 and FDS games.

Can any of these problems be fixed?
