Veal, an unlimited liability corp.

Music in the Vanguard commercial: starts with ascending low strings containing the intro to "every little thing", falls into cheesy arpeggio-land and resolves with the last two notes of the NBC theme tag, all quite boring & fully derivative

Two of five stars, boo

Ninja Commando is one of those early Neo Geo games that I feel deserves a re-evaluation. It's an overhead action game that feels derivative of Ikari Warriors, sure.

But it's absolutely bonkers, has wonderfully bad translation issues and special moves to master!

Nope, derivative.
Nope, already know more than I want to about the subject...
