Twin-stick layout on SNES controller works to perfection First killer app for the 4 button layout All enemy patterns are fair and understandable Two player co-op makes this game a hoot Powerups are perfect, including weapons, shield, and tons of loot

Room-based design gives a moment of rest and clear objective Branching paths add replayability Level select would be nice since it is kind of a one-trick pony - all rooms look the same

Running Man setting is pretty great M.C. is immensely quotable and memorable Worst virtual boobs of all time
