Maybe no-one thought it would be helpful. Maybe they did it but the ASIC didn't work properly. Maybe Bruce and Alan didn't like shoot-em-ups :-). I dunno.

I remember one of the early Crash interviews with UK Gold (I think) where their guy was saying "they may have a problem moving the screen around". So it's not like no-one mentioned it before launch.
