game is over. For multiplayer mode, the game supported connecting two Genesis or Mega Drives using a special link cable and the second joypad port. The cable was originally supposed to be shipped as a pack-in with the game. However, this was changed in a last-minute decision, and a coupon for ordering a free cable was added instead.
