I remember lusting over photos of the game in EGM as I awaited the release of the SNES, but then I completely forgot about the game after I actually got the system. I was too busy being obsessed with Mario World, I guess, and then later other games. That's interesting your friends loved it. I played it a few years ago and it didn't seem like a very good game to me. (But there are many many games I loved when I was a kid, but when I return to now I see they were complete shit, like Renegade or Yo Noid on the NES)

Thanks for the comment :)
