A friend from school lend me his MegaDrive and 4 games for a week or so at holiday season at the time. Among them: Castle of Illusion, Musha, Shinobi and Bare Knuckle. Man, when i had to return it to him i felt like what Bilbo Baggins must have felt. "Give you back my precious ? Fuck it, shoot me !" ^_^

Not overly enthusiastic about this one though after i've seen the approach they took in the Flashback trailer. Surprisingly, i get a Clockwork Knight vibe from it rather than a Castle of Illusion vibe.
