To do: So, the version that was in MAME was a prototype the whole time. Update article as necessary, and make a prototype page.

Chrono Soldier is a Commando-style shoot-'em-up, though here there's less shooting and more bomb launching and punching.

Lots of punching, actually.

Maybe too much punching.

Unused Graphics

Early	Final

There's an early copy of the title screen/HUD graphics in the graphics ROM. Most of the tiles are the same, but the Sega logo is definitely different. The final version has a unique, smaller Sega logo.

Early	Final

The second difference is in the bomb HUD graphic. The early graphic is a bit too large, so the orange outline doesn't cover the whole bomb. The final bomb graphic had to be shrunk a bit to fix that little issue, and a little color was added at the base.
