Collector interest

A modest JVC platformer that never left the shadow of the catalogue's heavy hitters. On the European SNES, its short print run and low profile make it a quiet but sought-after line for anyone completing the PAL library. Desirability rests less on the game than on the difficulty of landing a clean complete copy with intact box, manual and card insert. A completist's piece rather than a contested title, carrying the aura of a forgotten colourful curio.
