Versions and Releases
The game, much like the first, was developed for the Sega Genesis and then ported over to the Super Nintendo. They were released virtually simultaneously and were largely the same game, the only difference being that the Super Nintendo version had alternate background art. A computer version for MS-DOS was later released, which featured an upgraded redbook audio music soundrack, more voice clips and smoothed-over graphics, but lacked the "Lorenzen's Soil" level. Versions for the original PlayStation and Sega Saturn were also released, which contained the upgraded audio and all of the levels from the original. Both of these versions were identical, and contained background art and graphical differences separate from any other versions of the game.
Many years later, it would be ported to a newer generation of systems as well. A Game Boy Advance port, based off the Super Nintendo release, was released in 2002. It has been widely criticized for poor graphics, bad sound and music, and very glitchy gameplay. The Sega Genesis version was later released for download on the Wii via the Virtual Console in 2009 as well.

“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
