Comix Zone (revisited)

It took someone recently saying they have no idea how to play “Comix Zone” for me to single out the biggest problem with “Comix Zone”—in spite of having completed it several times, I have no idea how to play “Comix Zone”, either. You memorize the best route through levels and quickly change your combat stance beat up enemies, and that’s it, seemingly. The combat system hints there’s some complexity to it, in much the same way the presentation hints it is backing up a better game than it is, but “Comix Zone” is a “lost classic”, minus the classic.
