Multiplayer got changed the most to the point they tossed out everything except War and changed that one a lot as well.

Only ever got through half-way with the story but just 1 spot was changed and it happens very early in the game. A bit easier as well but that's because the controls got tweaked a bit.

Mace was shockingly playable considering the developer at that time.

Remember staying over at someones house as a kid and playing Mace all night.

Miss that kind of thing.

Going to get Mace and S.C.A.R.S.

Fair enough. I've never done any real emulation. But then, I've never wanted a game bad enough, I guess.
