Well, Doug, I wouldn't waste your time. It is a *VERY* poor port of the
Arcade original, by Capcom. I bought it from a local dealer for $5. I'm
glad it was only $5. Any more and I would have been angry. The graphics
are poor, at best. The sprites are too large, slow moving, and not very
colorful. I'm not sure if it will work on a 3000. I think it was a well-
behaved game, so it probably would. But I wouldn't waste my time, if I
were you. There are better fish in the sea. If you are still interested,
I can sell you the thing for what I payed. I still have the box. I may
even still have the manual (if I look for it, I might be able to find it).
But the manual doesn't say much of anything.
