My votes go for CABAL-->I, ROBOT (A game I am determined to get in the queue because of its seminal fame)
&
MANIAC SQUARE-->MAZINGER Z ('cause 4 out of 5 cheerleaders think giant Japanese robots are cool).

I finally managed to crawl past Devil's score...albeit just barely. (Something I actually did a couple of days ago, but I kept checking Roto's slightly dyslexic "54,200" heading instead of the true "52,400" score.
)BTW, how the heck do you execute the special moves in this game? I scarcely remember being able to do them in the NES version, but I haven't played it in over 15 years.
