Overall
 
Excellent graphics and sounds make this game stand out from the rest. 
Originally released on the Amiga, the PC-Engine version stays true to the original; with identical graphics and 
much improved sound - the amiga had a 4 voice sound chip, the PC-Engine has 6 voice, and CD-audio. The music tracks - which were a main feature of the original, now sound even better on the CD. 
 
Sadly, not everything is golden with this game. As with all the other versions of SotB, this suffers from the same 
lack of depth and shallow gameplay. As a version of SotB it is up there at the top; however as a game, it has several 
weaknesses - though it is still a good game.
