This is the optimal way to play this excellent NAMCO-baptized homebrew game. I applied this along with some minor sprite fixes for this game on this site and it's a great experience. I wish the bars on the tally score screen were shrunken down horizontally to fit the screen like the numbers were, but limitations are limitations.
