Does anybody own/know anything about this game?  It appears to be a PAL title, but I'm unfamiliar with regional compatibility for the NES.  Will it work on NTSC hardware?  Is it worth tracking down even if it does?

This game is pretty cool, but unfortunately only works properly on a PAL NES. On an NTSC NES the bottom 3rd or so of the screen is garbled (tried it last night). PAL NES has more v-blank time since PAL is super slow. Still, you can tell how awesome and impressive this game is.
