Sent from Arcade&#8217;s Revenge publisher, Acclaim (via its LJN label), the note details what changes needed to be made to the superhero platformer.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Most of this FAX is in CAPS too, perhaps they were shouting at us!  Anyway, we got the game done in time, and it wasn&#8217;t too bad overall.  The difficulty wasn&#8217;t tuned as we didn&#8217;t really have the time.  A glimpse into 1990s game development for you!

Nintendo was just fine to release titles like Super Castlevania IV for crying out loud &#8211; &#8216;Murderworld&#8217; seems like a nice warm hug by comparison to that Dracula-hunting horror fest.  Combine that with the fact that the location has appeared many times throughout Marvel comics as Arcade&#8217;s central hunting ground, the fact that it is missing from the game is a little suspect.
