Hack description

Taito has been quite lazy at the time they released the Megadrive version of their smashing hit "The NewZealand Story", especially regarding colors. This patch brings back the Arcade colors, making this version the visually most faithfull console port to this day.

Apply the patch.
Fix checksum using FixCheckSum.exe to avoid "Red screen of death".
Enjoy and leave feedback if you want.

As its own author says	CryinOnion	2020-04-22	Version 1.0
The Turbografx and Megadrive ports of this game are very faithful to the arcade. Still, I was always annoyed that the Megadrive version had the arcade intro (text only in Turbografx), but had worse use of colors. With this hack we can, as its own author says, talk about the final port, with bright and attractive colors.
