Awesome! Except..

This is amazing. My childhood on my screen!! Only thing is that I can’t save! When I click “sign in” it just loads and won’t allow me to sign in. I can’t lose my game so I keep having to restart.


OMG I love this game please give us an HD Remake of this game Sega??.
Chriscamarillo420

I love play this on my phone but can we have a full screen mode feature too please.


Amazing game, but hard to play with iPhone
Fuze54

These games are great, but I think it would be a good idea to work on the pad just a teeny bit more. I find it in other games that if my thumb were to stray outside of the pad image, but the direction still stays pressed down even I'm not perfectly on the image, that it controls much much better. Get on that sega!


Best Ever
ShahulX

This game is an all time classic and probably the best side scroller shooter ever... Now get us Guardian Heroes!!

lucasvocos

Blockade69

Make a wifi multiplayer mode
shathow

The blutooth multiplayer mode is very slow


Make it function better
Phogh

Great game but it needs an update to function much better bluetooth is too slow


A sega classic
James Rovere

I downloaded this game because it was my favorite game on sega ever. But playing it on the iPhone is a horrible experience. Please change the controls somehow... Your fingers cover the whole screen and barely respond. Not worth downloading at this time.


nasty control
subgingival

Should find some other way of controlling especially for this kinda action game. Please update ( direction keypad should go upward). Good game though.
