That will do as compensation. 
By the way, from the site you brought to our attention:
http://www.illusionware.it/msx/Valis%20II%20-%20MSX2.htm
When I realized somebody wrote a walkthrough for the game, I realized Valis II could really be special if I could get past the obsolete visuals and the hardcore gameplay. And guess what, it did!
Yesssss, I'm famous! Even though I'm mentioned as "somebody". ;)
"playing"?
