I have LITERALLY done this on accident by asking Reddit an obscure science question. The Google AI result STILL cites my post as a source on occasion, acting as if my guess is fact, even though I was REQUESTING to be disproved, given the guess was based on the summary preview of a paper from 1952.

At least once a week, a different poor soul uploads a minimum of six minutes of Gain Ground gameplay without ever rescuing a hostage or pressing more than one type of attack button, and then never plays again.

Supported Game Files - Gain Ground View the 2 supported ROM hashes for Gain Ground achievements. Also find details on patch downloads.

There is one last thing I noticed- there are (like listed on R.A.) two different ROM Hashes for Gain Ground which represent two seperate ROM files that I've found online:
retroachievements.org/game/311/has...
I've had some Game Genie codes work on one file, but not the other. Is this different?

I actually (for a video) made a comparison of four title screens for GG MD/Gen (Each labled in the alt text). You mean to say that which of these that appears (asside from the prototype, duh) is based on the console and not the cartridge? Seems to be the way when I emulate different ROMs on Gens.

Yes, his name is Zaemon. Also sometimes called "Wind Knight" in translation, or "Arn" in EU manuals.
In our house, though, he was Pecos- an appropriate name for a tornado-wrangler.

The last tordado did at least 21 damage of the final boss' 30 total HP. I consider this the low end of its potential, however, since the tornado is two damage per FRAME. It consistently one-shots bosses, notably the W4 Tank (40 HP) and the original Arcade Final boss (90 HP).
Never dis my boi Zaemon.

Hopefully someday I can find the time to translate this someday. Every image I've seen of this has had issues running through Google's Image Scanner/Translator.

Hello, it's me. You may know me from my Gain Ground antics. I decided to get BlueSky as an extra social media failsafe.
Don't have much to post right now, so instead, I'll use this post to call all the GG fans on this platform to me. Arcade, Genesis, SMS, SX, PS2, and Again- everyone's welcome here!
