Now I know that the comparison is odd, but I was watching an attract video from Evil Night, one of the few games that used the Panasonic M2 hardware (originally the 3DO M2 before it got cancelled, damn I waited all summer one year for it too!) it rather reminded me of Beast Busters Second Nightmare.
I was lucky enough to find a Beast Busters cabinet in the wild, outside of Vail, Colorado about 4 years ago. Was at a hotel-resort I was staying at while covering the U.S Freeskiing Open. I put fistfulls of quarters into it, and loved every minute, especially considering it was Neo-Geo hardware, a company I knew of but had yet to get into gaming wise at home.
I saw that turfmasta on Youtube had uploaded an entire playthrough of Beast Busters, and when I watched it side by side with the attract video of the Konami Arcade M2 unit w/ Evil Night I thought to myself
Considering the on-paper superiority of the M2, the Hyper NG64 really holds up well as a platform. Such a shame it didn't get the support / sales it deserved
Just a random thought I wanted to share
