Adding this game missing featureAlgunar2024-05-05Version 1.0

This hack is a pretty easy recommendation, as it perfectly works as adverted and since playing this game again without saving the scores would not make any sense anymore.

It adds the important missing feature to Megadrive/Genesis most impressive shoot them up, so things could barely be better here.

Oh, wait. They just can be in fact. For these who, just like me, are not fan of this particular US title, well...here is the solution, thanks to SCD efforts:

And guess what? Yes, both patches are compatible to offer us the best of two worlds (I have applied the Hi Score SRAM patch first then the title one, fixed the rom checksum afterwards and everything works perfectly fine).

So, Megadrive/Genesis most impressive shoot them up ever has just become even a little better than before.

Infinite thanks and kudo's to BillyTime! Games for all his efforts to give us the possibility to save our scores on this game and so many other ones!
