Megadrive collection 2015
It's that time again - illness means lists.
Here's my current Megadrive (or Genesis) collection..with 2 added Master System games.
I'll note whether with box or not.
List items
-
Unboxed
Odd thing, RKA2 was released on both Snes and Megadrive but they're both very different games. This one is far more in line with the megadrive original but was not quite as popular.
-
unboxed
I really have no idea..seriously.
-
unboxed
More shinobi goodness..with added dog.
-
Unboxed and in a 6-in-1 cart
Speaking of..it's not the best of the series but it's a damn fine game.
-
Unboxed
I'm unsure if this has anything to do with Go Nagai's Mazinger series but it's your typical side scrolling beat-em-up a la Streets of Rage
-
unboxed
Ergh, can't stand the Simpsons so..whatever. Platform game I think.
-
unboxed
Man, I played this a ton when I was a kid and yet I don't think I ever got past the first level. An isometric shooter where you control a helicopter trying to take out..lets be honest..Saddam and rescue who you can. A classic.
-
Boxed and Unboxed
Such a great soundtrack, such a great game. My favourite platformer, hands down..and that Casino level music..nostalgia.
-
boxed and unboxed
difficult to own a MD without at least one Sonic game. Many prefer the first but I grew up on the second as it was one of my first games (along with MK2) on my MD.

unboxed
as above with regards to disney

Unboxed
One of the best games ever you say? Noo, can't be.
I suggest you go play this as it stands up even today.
Odd fact, the original 1.00 version has bosses that look very similar to Batman, Godzilla, Spider-man and the Terminator. Obviously these got removed but it's an odd bit of history.
-
Unboxed
oh the 90s..pretty sure this was something to do with rising pollution and Ferne Gulley, Macdonalds and stuff...Captain Planet, he's a hero..etc.
-
Unboxed
More disney platformers...among the best on the platform.
-
Unboxed
Ahh what a great side scrolling action game. What makes this different to most is Sparkster's rocket pack that can shoot him off up/down/left/wherever and is used very effectively in combat. Joylancer for the PC is very much beholden to this game.
-
Unboxed
An almost perfect arcade port of a classic game..with terrible box art. Jeff is crazy preferring the NES version. Side scrolling platform jumping slashing at it's best.
-
Unboxed
Dark Souls before Dark Souls. Another action game based on a comicbook property, Chakan blends platforming with shinobi-esque swordplay and magic. Everytime you die you're sent back to a hub world where you can choose your level again..and then there's the potion system.
-
Unboxed
LETS GO
I think everyone has played this by now. A puzzle game where you use a line of suicidal lemmings to get from entrance to exit to the strains of some of the most annoying (famous) tunes of all time.
-
unboxed
One of those games that stays with you, despite not really knowing how to play it. Think bloodbowl mixed with madden and then throw some mines on the playing field.
-
unboxed
I prefer this to but only slightly. More of the same insanity.
-
unboxed
Oh the great debate over which one was better..the capcom Snes version or the virgin Megadrive one. I can tell you which one had better animation, sound and gameplay..and it wasn't the capcom one.
-
unboxed
I honestly have no idea what this is.
-
unboxed
Most of my games seem to be disney ones, due to the fact I got a decent price on a bulk deal from ebay.
-
Boxed
Argh, the bane of my gaming life. I hate this game and yet it kept turning up at my house as a kid. It's a terrible platformer whose gimmick is stretching like..well..stretch armstrong...and the enemies..gaaah. Soccer Kid was better than this shit.
-
Boxed
I wonder if any Americans have any idea who Asterix is..a staple of European culture much like Tintin or Inspector Gadget is guess. Platformer of course..haven't really played it.
-
Boxed
Well, it's not half as good as the Championship Edition recently released.
-
Boxed
Well with the remake about most people know the quality of this platformer.
-
Boxed
LET ME TELL YOU BROTHER that I have no idea about wrestling..beyond what I hear on the bombcast or get yelled at me by friends (IT WAS ME AUSTEN) and that's about it.
-
Boxed
Aliens come and take your mates but you can save them but swimming..or something. It's a great idea and weirdly includes time travel. I think it's one of those concepts that needs to come back again.
-
Boxed
One of the first games that made me go..'woah' in a Bill and Ted manner. Rotoscope animation, storyline..this had everything. Shame about the remake.
-
Boxed
11th birthday present from my eldest sister..a weird shooter,sidescrolling altered beast hybrid..thing. Pretty cool.
-
Boxed
Never tried it, though it's capcom so it's probably ok..

Boxed
I loved this game as a kid. There was even this great comic strip to go along with the game in the Sega comic in the 90s..coming back to it today though is super rough, especially in comparison with MK and SF2. That said I still like some of the character designs like Jak, Midnite(sp?) and Shadow. It had some great ideas but a poor engine.
-
boxed
Has the best cover artwork of any SF game (not pictured)but is behind the Snes version in many respects.
-
boxed
An RPG that comes highly recommended..never had a chance to play it though
-
Boxed, unboxed and Master system version
One of those truly great disney platformers. Music and animation are beyond fantastic and it's fun..though the 2nd level dodging minigame on the back of an ostrich isn't exactly fun...
-
unboxed
I'm pretty sure this is actually the sequel or perhaps the gain ground sequel..as it's the Japanese cart. Isometric shooting at it's finest.
-
unboxed
as above..no mutants, no sale.

unboxed
Not really my thing
