It plays okay, 5 missions, but no save at all. I guess it was planned because there was a save menu. Of course, it's simplified if you compare it with a PC game, but still impressive what they did

Mulan got a decent bootleg on Genesis... also an arcade title called Legend of Heroes which isn't Mulan explicitly, but pretty obvious it's meant to be, and it plays pretty good, both better than all the mediocre titles that Disney put out officially.

That's the one with the weird music? Shit's sounds like it came from a horror game. Very playable game otherwise, the dev hasn't been identified as far as I know.

I just beat it for the first time ever after putting it down as a kid, it really is as good as they say. What game should I play next? I'm not to familiar with the Zelda series (this was my first zelda game).

The soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting in this game. Unfortunately, you’re never going to play a Zelda game again with such a great ost. It had the perfect blend of arranged classic tracks, and most of the new pieces became series staples.

It sure is, I dislike a lot of stuff but when I find things I like, I really like them and the first Monster Hunter is amazing in my books. I put somewhere between 400 - 800 hours into pretty much every entry until Generations Ultimate. World, Rise and the newer ones don't do it for me. And yes, I used all the weapons, though greatsword has always been my favorite.

Even without online anymore the base game of MH1 is still pretty great and nothing else has it's control scheme which is part of what really makes it shine.
>>
>>12476885
The difficulty is most of the appeal. Very few series have the level of challenge of fighting a monster that can kill you in seconds if you slip up and having to keep that up for a long time. I had to go out of my way in Dragon's Dogma to recreate that kind of thing.

Roguelikes, fighting games against good opponents and puzzlers like Puyo keep me going for ages, meanwhile even as a kid Mario and Zelda almost literally put me to sleep.

Ohh yeah and Ecco the Dolphin is one of my favorite games of all time. I'm that smug asshole.

>>12476886
These play times are reasonable, my playtime in these games is about the same, even more in G Ult/XX. But more than 999 hours in MH1 alone is crazy.
>>
>>12476909
A lot of that 999 hours was online with my friends and plate hunting. You needed so many damn Rathalos plates for just about all the end game equipment and they were only from tail carves with a 1% chance. So even when we would go in with one headlocking and then one or a couple people going for the tail it was still really time consuming. MH was a whole community then though so even with everything it was still fun to log on and help folks who wanted it. PSO was a similar thing. I also spent an embarrassing amount of time in Ragnarok Online, but met people who are still friends to this day.

Post some interesting version and regional differences you know of, betas included. Yes, Super Mario 2 was originally donkey donkey picnic which itself was going to be a mario game.
Here's one from Ardy Lightfoot (SNES):
There's a point in the game where you're following a burglar for one of the MacGuffins and she ends up swallowed by a giant worm.
In the international versions, she's just knocked out in the ground near the end of the stage but, in the japanese original, she was actually digested alive and only her skeleton remains (You can even see droplets of stomach acid dripping from the ceiling).
Pretty fucked up, I can see why they wanted to change it.

I'll never get the appeal of the knuckle stages. Just playing as a metal detector. SA2 make these even worse with the nerfed radar and stages being pretty massive. Gamma stages are fun, they have an sort of arcade run and gun appeal of just blowing shit up in every direction and trying to get big combos. Would've been more interesting if the levels started with like 5 seconds and then had to quickly rack up points to add to the timer but you're given so much at the start you can practically finish the entire level without shooting anything. I didn't even realize this was part of the gimmick with Gamma until someone pointed it out.
>>
>>12475883
>I'll never get the appeal of the knuckle stages
You load into the stage, you have to go from point A to point B to point C as quickly as you can, only point A and point B and point C are randomized every time you start the stage. You have to use Knuckles's (and Rouge's) fast movement and traversal options to narrow down where the emerald shards are as quickly as possible. Your score is based entirely on how fast you can do it.
>>

Big's stages are right there dude
>>
>>12475967
>Big has bespoke areas with completely new mechanics
>Gamma's stages other than Hot Shelter are just trimmed down versions of Sonic's stages that are over in 15 seconds each
>>
>>12472031
This game is the epitome of trying to turn a small meal into a buffet. In reality it only has 11 stages. 10 of them are played in their entirety by Sonic while only 1 is new and original for the other characters (Hot Shelter with Amy, Gamma, and Big). So that means the other five characters all share the exact same 10 stages as Sonic but only use small chunks of the stages to compensate for their play styles.

The hub worlds are used entirely to stretch the game length as well as the slowest characters (Amy and Big) end up being forced to traverse the biggest map (Mystic Ruins Jungle) just to give the illusion of progression without actually doing anything worthwhile. Then you have characters like Knuckles being forced to find stone keys in that same jungle maze (made worse in the original because DX at least gives you a map).

Overall it's a game built to only play as Sonic, then they crammed all the other characters into it last second to pad it out because they realized the game would only be an hour long with just the Sonic stages.

I could barely hold back tears as I watched him thrust into her as her moans of pleasure filled the room. He came inside her too. Something only I have ever done with her. It broke my heart. They got cleaned up and we talked a bit. He high fived me and after some small talk and eagerness from both of them to do this again he left. I cried myself to sleep that night. My wife was so happy and chatty afterwards. She really wanted to do it again. We talked and ended up fighting because she's frustrated because she didn't necessarily want to do it but it was my idea and she had a great time but now I'm not comfortable with it which I understand but she reluctantly agreed we won't do that anymore.

I tried having sex with my wife last night for the first time since then and I couldn't get hard. All I could think about was seeing Chris's much larger and much blacker dick enter her and I felt so insecure I stayed soft the whole time. My wife and I are going to see a marriage counselor to see where we go from here. I feel like such an idiot and I can't believe that I ruined our marriage like this. It's the biggest shame of my life.

As a married man, I get what you mean. I don't have kids yet, thank God, wife wants them, but for me it just sucks to even think about it, guess I'll do it for her sake, and our parents' sake since they want grandkids to make their miserable lives a little less miserable, even if it makes mine worse. A few days off from everything and everyone is nice, to do the stuff you like, with a nice snack and drink, it's comfortable, wish I could do it more often and wasn't so busy, well, it'll get worse, so I better get used to it really.

>>12475720
The worst it gets is they settle on a format of each episode. Normally it's Challenge > TamaGe > Challenge > Mini Corner > Challenge > Game Showcase > Challenge.
Also they go out of their way to try to avoid the same gimmick idea for different games. I.E. when Arino does the re-fights in Mega Man, the staff switch out how they remind him what weapons he used in the original fights.

Did they really need all this jhit just to compete with the snes? Why not just keep making good Genesis games? DKC didn't need the Super Nintendo CD

Mega Drive outsold SNES handily outside of Japan until well after the Saturn was out, so clearly not.
>>
>>12476717
The only reason it appeared to be doing notably better than SNES in America until DKC was because the Genesis had been out for two years longer. And the beating they took in the Japanese market was so severe they ideally needed to be doing more than just marginally better in the West.
>>
>>12476620
You could be right, I don't know how I would have reacted if it was a whole new system. But it likely would have been atvleast 325-350 in that case, especially if it still had the cart slot and if it didn't have the cart slot that would have meant having my Genesis, Snes and the Sega CD all hooked up. I still probably would have got it anyways but would have felt more redundant at least to me. It didn't sell well as is anyways though so who can say. I'm just glad they made it. 32X less so, it only had a handful of stuff I thought was worth it and then got ignored hard by Sega.

>>12476717
OP was going off the false assumption from the start that the Sega CD's intended competition was the Snes. Snes was part of it, but not the main part.

>>12476742
>until DKC
*DKC3, it took a few years of Sega having moved on for SNES to catch up and overtake the Genesis.
