I found it misleading.

You are correct. Running on my ZipGS 9MHz is quite nicely too. So I assume the
GS+ reviewer might be:

1. Running the game side by side with Super Nintendo;
2. Running a 7MHz Transwarp GS;
3. Running a 8MHz/16 Zip GS;
4. Does not know that somebody disabled his accelerator;

No comments on this... it works properly for me because I am following the
course of the game.
 
: Apparently there are some sound glitches as well.  But he still says the

If you didn't buy it, then probably the bugs will not be fixed, or neither will
there be new cool GS games like these...

Do it quick. Remember Rastan. Place your order of OOTW today!
