just playing around with this game for the first time....I didn't really know what to expect...but it's a damn fun little game a throwback to retro arcade games. and the boss graffics are very cool.
What to you all think?

I find the controls a little sluggish. It's a good looking game and the game mechanics are sound but the controls are just too slow for my tastes.

I must say that that game has A special little place in my heart as far as neo games go (god that sounded fruity, but its true) thats the one convert that i would purchase from !arcade!
I love the graphics and especialy the sound. highly recomended game.

The graphics and the whole concept was cool and it had a nice feel. I really dug the large bosses and sprites.

I have to admit though I really wasn't that impressed with the controls and the gameplay. I was hoping for something a little more frantic. Either you could take your good old time on a board or you'd be slaughtered immediately (i.e. the last boss) but it doesn't have the same 'twitch' feeling as old Bubble Bobble does...and I have to admit I was a little disapointed in it's length, again compared to Bubble Bobble it's a half-hour's worth of gaming, where Bubble Bobble...man...that's like a day and a half bender.

It's still a cool game though.

It is a very good retro style arcade game. I wish it had more levels though.

Everyone that likes NitD... you need, and I stress this, need to play Zupapa.... it is very similar, but much more polished, has tons more levels, classic Neo style graphics, great tunes... and is much more frantic... I love NitD, and to say I love Zupapa more is really saying something... just ask many of the people that know me here...

The MVS kit is very expensive so I don't know if the game worths all this money. I have seen a video that I downloaded here and I found that the graphics were amazing.

Concerning Zupapa:
NGF says YES! :D

But try finding somebody who actually purchased it... ;)

NITD:
Only the !Arcade! conversion,which is out of print now.

You're at the mercy of the person selling. Arcade doesn't make this cart anymore.
