From Dean Sharpe, the co-designer and programmer of the game:
"Mike Ebert and myself made it from scratch after finishing Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
So no, it was not a spin off of anything. As far as the idea, we just wanted to work on something head to head with a more serious note after doing Zombies Ate My Neighbors. The only other part of the story was that Nintendo was originally going to publish it. We even did about 3 months worth of changes by their request. Then at the last minute they decided that it was too much like Cybernator and the deal got nixed. It was then we went back to Konami whom had also published Zombies Ate My Neighbors. The only other name it ever went by was Battle Droids.
Its funny that you emailed me about this since I'm currently working on a GBA version of that game. It won't be called Metal Warriors however. "
Target Earth's story was heavily censored and cut during the translation,even more than the Assault Suits Valken one.That's why I'm looking for a fan- translated one
And speaking of HARD games,try Jim Power for the SNES.
One of the hardest games ever made.The later levels are a nightmare,especially the shooter levels.
