>>739568505I tried this once but I didn't know what I was doing. Should I give it another go?
aw yeah
>>739566978I always wanted to play as the two cops you call in for the Special Attack.
I recently played through sonic 1, 2, and 3.It's amazing how much they did with 3. That's such a pretty looking game.CD has the best music of that batch however.
>>739569965You can. Play ESWAT.
>>739566978why can't we have modern games that look like this?

How is Super Hydlide?
Post your top 5 games (explanations optional)For me it's:>1) Rocket Knight AdventuresBasically a flawless action-platformer as far as I'm concerned. The set pieces flow together perfectly with setups and payoffs. Nothing overstays its welcome. Amazing finale, too.>2) Alien SoldierBlew my mind the first time I played it. Truly a work of mad genius, emphasis on mad. Takes getting used to but there's nothing else like it.>3) Contra: Hard CorpsOn the easier side, but that doesn't detract too much. The bombastic style, creativity and variety make it a joy to play every time. Just inject this shit into my veins. >4) ShadowrunAwesome open-ended RPG with a lot to dig into. If you don't know how to navigate the various money-making opportunities, you will suffer. Can be punishing but very rewarding to learn.>5) Dynamite HeaddyExcellent action-platformer with an off-beat personality. The attention to detail is superb and the game has a surprising amount of optional stuff that's worth seeking out in its own right.

>>739580565>MoonwalkerIs actually good?Never played it.
>>739582042It's not super amazing, but it's a chill little fun game. The gameplay is quite repetitive but the music and levels are cool. Try it out.
>>739566978I want to play Phantasy Star III but the audio is trying to make me deaf, how did they fuck it up so badly when I and II's soundtrack worked just fine?
>>739582084Thanks, I'm giving it a shot.
>>739583046Very based, enjoy

>>739571715woah
>>739571715nice, i'm writing an album that sounds just like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntOA5PTSATE
This generation was rad. Similar hardware, the same titled game in both SNES and Sega but they could have major differences or be completely different games. Like Sega Aladdin had a sword, SNES didn't .Stuff like that.
Genesis > SNES
>>739586452This game was hard as fucking balls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90Ii8NDznVg>that part where some huge fucking laser wipes out half your party while this playsi should've been pissed but it was kino>>739575392japs fucking LOVE it
>>739587051I don't think I ever got passed the first level as a kid
my HEROINES
>>739587284LOVE
Almost certain that Comix Zone was the last exclusive title for the Genesis.Still remember the day I bought it, never head of it prior to buying it, and I used to buy gaming mags all the time.I wonder if Sega ever thought about brining it back in some form, there is a new Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage and a Shinobi game that just came out.
>>739587813why did she do it?
I never owned a Sega console. What are some must play exclusives for the genesis?
>>739588301did any other 16bit rpgs do story like this? like manga panels?
Shining Force > Fire Emblem
>>739588362The world may never know...>>739588809It really depends on the kind of games you enjoy. Genesis leaned pretty hard on the action side of things. Shumps, action platformers beat em ups run and guns..a lot the sega Genesis exclusives were basically these
>>739588809Alien SoldierDynamite HeaddyStreets of Rage 2Shining ForceToeJam & Earl
>>739577135The turbo tunnel is easier, but not easy.
>>739589115it's too cool a storytelling technique for no other RPGs to have done it, but I can't think of any
>>739589252TRVKE
>>739589352>ExileHidden gem. Got me interested into history
>>739589352>Barney's hide & seek
>>739588809Rocket Knight Adventures and Contra: Hard Corps are both spectacular. Nakazato was simply too powerful
>>739589705looks like you found him
>>739589352Ghouls'n Ghosts on Genesis was such a good port
>>739589717Hardest boss in the whole damn game
>>739566978I really wish the other Phantasy Star games had gotten the same treatment the Switch port of the first one did.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnQz9njOPXg
>>739593523Looks nice.They should do IVSince I and IV are the best games in the series
>>739577135It's slightly easier, keyword being slightly.
>>739577135it's pretty much a straight up port with slightly more colors and FM music
yeah
what are some of the coolest homebrew games? it has a decent scene. the cave story port rocks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQX99cGc_K0
>>739595954I liked this.
>>739570398My older sister didn't really play video games but for some reason loved this game and we'd play it together alot. I wish there was a modern version with online or something.
>>739595954https://mikejmoffitt.com/pages/lyle/index.htmlThe Lyle in Cube Sector port is great.
>>739568990its not too hard to figure out (it just doesnt really tell you much in game). there are plenty of guides online to tell you about the basic functionality/mechanics of things. its kind of neat, and the only thing even close to it that i've played was wesnoth.
>>739599792Nice
>>739599792So satisfying.
I liked it sans the woods level and the final boss.
>>739566978Christ Phantasy Star will never be good again. And an anime adaptation of the Algo arc could have been amazing. But Sega has to be Sega...>no generations 4Fuuuuuckkk
>>739588653Too ahead of it's time. It's unmatched for me.
>>739598019fuck yeah
>>739598019Deserved a sequel. Stealing parts was fun.
For me, it`s Contra Hard Corpshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx1ziWtMkm4
>an RTS on Genesis >it's actually good The 90s were wild.
>>739601253> copter from desert strike
Why don't anime characters have any soul anymore?Looking at these amazing characters makes me sad
>>739572024Same composer of Radiant Silvergun.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitoshi_Sakimoto
>>739601253Dune 2 is good. I never did play the genesis version I just know Westwood made it themselvesObligatory Hergog zwei mention if we're talking about OG RTS games
>Rocket Knight Adventures' Normal difficulty is actually Very Hard in the JP version.I hate when they do that
>>739572024>the game is subparHoly shit, you weren't kidding. How can you fuck up Breakout this badly? And in 1992? Breakout was 15 years old by then, they should have had some fucking familiarity with the style
>>739599792The way they designed this to work on a 3-button controller is so nice.
hahah!
>>739602408True.
I can't get SegaCD games to work on KegaFusion. I am retarded.
>>739603378isn't blast'em nightly the best genesis & addons emulator?
I hate the chess battle. That is all.
>>739570398This game is rad.
>>739600843My dick is so hard for a Saturday morning-style 1/2/4 anime, I can see and hear the commercial bumps
>>739606454oh man it is hard damn bro
>>739603378try genesisplusGX instead, it's a lot easier to set up things like the memory expansion cart
>>739577736Alien 3 wasn't anything really special. Didn't outright suck, but about what you'd expect from a movie tie-in game.Haven't played any of the others. Chakan has a good rep though.>>739582307PS3's soundtrack isn't that bad, but the battle themes being so poor and repetitive is a problem, yeah. It's kinda cool hearing the overworld music update itself with a new component with each new party member though.
Pure memoslop, completely skilless game. There is almost no randomness. Bosses will do only like 3 things and in the same order every time. Once you have memorized the game, you will be able to beat it every time without any challenge. Contra 3 is the greater and more skillful game that can catch even veteran players off guard.
>>739608504>>739603613Thanks bros. I'm going to try boot Popful Mail up shortly. I also downloaded Flying Squadron.
>>739599792>Three street samurai armed with super shotgunsBrutal chummer
>>739608729>Once you have memorized the game, you will be able to beat it every time without any challengethat applies to most every game ever made.
>>739601253My first RTS
It's actually insane how hard Sega fumbled everything in the nineties, they could have been a twenty billion dollar company right now
For me it's Mega-Lo-Maniahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XnDGzU2iE0
The best-looking game on any 16-bit console
>>739599792>Halloweeners!?>Slot off frag face!!!
>>739570398EGAD!
Gonna get gley lancer and gynoug
>>739599792>>739600126I'm surprised no one's made a 3rd person Shadowrun action game
>>739570398>Nyeh heh heh!>Shit!
>>739612910they made an fps but it was just a counterstrike clone that tried to do cross-platofrm between consoles and pc by gimping kb+m and upping console auto-aim.
>>739613774That sounds generic as fuck
