I wonder why they decided to port Alpha 2 in the first place. Alpha 1 didn't come out on SNES or Genesis and that game came out at least a year before Alpha 2, which would have meant that the installed base for the 32 bit systems would have been much less and a cart port of Alpha 1 would have been more successful at that time. I'd imagine that Alpha 1 could have been a really good port to the SNES considering how good Alpha 2 turned out.
