I was one of the guys who kept bugging him about Magical Troll. :) Glad that you finally enjoyed it, Joe!

Only a 4 Mb cart too! Super Fantasy Zone, which came out the same year, is another great example of this.

To be exact on the idea of Goiken Muyou, the game's not a Sega pet project that got rejected. It was a project from actual pro VF2 players that basically uses their know-how and programming skills to make it, and it does a bang-up job. And I noticed how there's clues to the movesets the hidden playable devs have, like Bunbun Maru having Kage's moves and how the dude ya used in the stereo sound demonstration has Sarah's loadout

The four "random dudes" at 14:59 are the then (and even now) famous VF2 superplayers: Ikebukuro Sarah, Shinjuku Jacky, Bunbun-Maru & Kashiwa Jeffry. Ikebukuro and Shinjuku are districts in Tokyo, Bunbun translates to "shake or swing with vigor" (like swinging your fists rapidly and forcefully at someone) and Maru is a suffix for names of ships, swords, etc. also used in names of ninjas (same as in Kagemaru), and Kashiwa is a city in the Chiba prefecture. They were 4 of 6 "Tetsujin" (Ironman) officially recognized by Sega as the best players in the VF2 tournament scene, and they aided with the development of the game. (P.S. And the voices when attacking in Panzer Bandit are just battle cries like "Hiiiya!" and stuff like that, at least in this footage.) 😊
