You might be best served emulating it (or the PS1 translated version). The game has very, VERY uneven pacing and has that almost Treasure-trademark tendency of too many ideas at once.

I played the game three or so times, as it's short and I was trying to unlock hard mode (because it's too easy once you understand what to do + find the hidden shop at the start of the game), but I gave up and moved on. It's a decent game, imo.

The Death boss fight was added into the Playstation version. Maybe another boss, too? I'm not sure - I do know that the Death fight is not in the Saturn version, unless there is some later re-release.

Alundra is a great Zelda-type game with really good hand-drawn visuals. The game is very challenging and filled with some tricky puzzles, so it makes for a refreshing playthrough. The game is pretty cheap all things considered (25-30 bucks).

Silhouette Mirage is an odd platforming run-n-gun, but it is very enjoyable. Made by Treasure, of Dynamite Headdy and Gunstar Heroes fame. Game is similar in that it's a lot of boss fights and new things thrown at you. Price varies because it's Treasure and Working Designs, but careful searching will usually net you a copy in the $30 range.

I'd be remiss without mentioning an excellent shooter RayStorm, which is a great-looking PS1 title. Its sequel, RayCrisis, I like more, but it's a very cerebral game that not as many people get in to. RayStorm is still fantastic - an epic, sweeping scope and fun boss fights to keep you entertained. Usually $30 or cheaper.
