THE END
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a sad note: this SFC version which was released by SUNSOFT in 1993 only
covers the first half of the PC-ENGINE 'XAK I' game, but its sequel 'XAK II'
(which was released also for the PC-ENGINE) wasn't released for the SFC.
