Dare I say it... I actually think SoR would work really well as a boardgame. Albeit a particularly minus heavy one, CMON style. It would work really well with a conveyor belt style board where new tiles are put in front while ones behind disappear, card decks for random enemies, etc I can really see how it might be possible to emulate the spirit of the video game.
I'd have killed that back in the 90s!
