Picked up a couple of new games recently.  Wrath of the Demon reminds me a lot
of Shadow of the Beast.  Some data from the manual:
size: 600 screens
graphics data: 3.5 MB
music & sound data: 600 KB
music sample rate: 20 KHz
# of sound tracks: 9
screen update: 60 times/second
# of different monsters: 120
maximum sprite size: 300 x 144 pixels
 
The game comes on 4 disks, one of which contains an introductory animation not
unlike the one from SOTB 2.  WOTD works perfectly with my accelerator. 
Graphics are well done, though I like those in SOTB just a tad better.  Sounds
are similar.  Animation is very smooth with 15 levels of parallax scrolling. 
There are 128 colors on-screen at once.  This is not an easy game! 
Fortunately, you can save a game to disk.  I have yet to complete the first
level.
Chaos Strikes Back, I haven't even booted yet.
