Just use Joy2Key backwards, dammitall!
Thanks for the idea. It works pretty good.
MQ - I have a couple of questions/comments. They may have been asked already, but I'm not going to comb through 15 pages of the thread, esp knowing you will probably give a quick and eager reply.
I've played the game for about 45 mins, making it to the first mansion. I haven't played CV2 in years. I played the hell out of it the year it came out, then maybe a couple times a year for a while, but I don't think I have played it more than twice in the last decade - so forgive me if my memory of the original game is off. Didn't the original game have no boss in that first mansion? I seem to remember a couple of bosses but I certainly don't remember that one. Also, is there continue feature in your game? Do you have to restart from your last save point when you run out of lives? If so, that definitely adds a level of difficulty. I was surprised when that boss killed me and there was no continue option, which would have placed me at the beginning of the mansion instead of WAAAAY back in Jova. Also, there seems to be a period of invincibility that the enemies have after getting hit by the whip that is longer than in the original game, which makes me have to change my fighting style a lot.
How many changes are there from the original game? It's hard for me to tell since my memory is faded.
