Excited for this one. Reminds me of the excellent Robocop vs. Terminator, but enhanced by the benefit of hindsight learning.

I think thats its ultimate feature

we've learned SO much about gameplay quality of life over the past 30 years. if they did this in 1994 it would be broken, obtuse, unfair, frustrating

now we know how to merge all these gameplay types into a cohesive narrative experience :)

I feel like it's probably beyond the scope of 16 bit? Not that everyone was stuck on 16 bit for the entirety 90s.

a sega saturn could've handled this. as could a Neo Geo

many many different arcade boards would've been able to do something of this quality, it just wasn't a priority

this thing feels very Metal Slug, only a different franchise

Yeah.

A book named “Arcade Perfect” provides an excellent insight to all sorts of things like this.
