Yup Shadow Dancer was quite shiny on the 8-bits, funny thing is the Master System conversion was a coin-op conversion whilst the Megadrive version was an awful awful game that was nothing like the arcade.
I suppose I'll say it again since I complain about it at every opportunity!
Why oh why were the Megadrive versions of ESWAT, Ka-Ge-Ki, Alien Storm, Shadow Dancer, New Zealand Story all so different from the arcade version when the 8 bit versions were arcade convertions?
....and don't get me started on Toki, even the NES version was a coin-op conversion, and it's not that bad.
The guy who programmed Shadow Dancer (Dave Semmens) also programmed the Turtles coin op conversion. Again a very nice conversion... Just a shame that neither of these games feature in-game music on the 128k (even though Turtles did have the music included in the code).

Thats really very true. Turtles 2 would have been even better with some music (or the music finally implemented!) and better sound effect (the ones in the game are "bland")
Maybe somebody can fix a version with the in-game music??

You won't regret it - it's a good conversion of a nice, although not earth-shattering, coin-op game.
