Key points
- Running the game on modern Windows will require a few steps and workarounds. See Issues fixed.
- Port of the Sega CD/Mega-CD Special Edition of the game which contained an exclusive level, a few extended levels, alternate endings, and CD quality music.
- Improved visuals over the Sega CD/Mega-CD version.
- Some CD tracks are removed, replaced by lower quality versions, or are incomplete; e.g. the victory and failure music that plays at the end of Andy Asteroids, the voice at the title screen, and the bad ending's speech.
