Still on a Genesis kick, finding out games I've never heard or played and beating the ones I couldn't as a kid.

Right now I'm playing Castlevania Bloodlines on Expert as John Morris, I want to try the other Konami platformers like Tiny Toons and Rocket Knight Adventures, then try Contra Hard Corps.
I recently beat both Castle of Illusion and Quackshot.

Into RPGs even a little bit, OP? Might want to check out Rent-a-Hero. It's a fun little game and I'm tempted to replay it lately.

My friend gave me his Genesis and a six button turbo controller 9 years ago, with neither AC nor video cables
After finding AC and ordering an RF adaptor, I will be testing if it works as soon as that RF arrives
Should I try Columns or Sonic first?

Grew up a Genesis Chad and pic related is one I never played back in the day. Highly recommended it.

How long did it take for you to finish Comix Zone?

Rare YouTube algorithm win. It recommended me this remix of an Ecco the Dolphin song that only has 20 views. It knows I love sega shit so much it's recommending me videos that nobody has seen. Not sure if it's AI or not. Creator seems Chinese?

Does it really make a noticable difference? I recently picked up a model 2 Genesis for $20 and haven't hooked it up yet but I'm thinking I should just flip it and get me one of the early models with the Yamaha chip so I don't reduce my experience. It's worth it right?

The difference is apparent, the model 1 systems have a much richer sound. Only downside is the model 1 only has stereo audio through the headphone output on the front of the console, whereas the model 2 outputs stereo from the a/v multi out on the back.

Play Gain Ground, preferably with a friend
>Why Genesis version?
Extra level in the hard difficulty mode with banging soundtrack

columns is fun in short bursts. Awesome music.

Side Scrolling Action games I recommend (list stolen from another anon, edited by me):

Alien Soldier [6 button hack improves a lot], Astebros, Demons of Asteborg, Castlevania Bloodlines, Cave Story (good on anything), Comix Zone [Easy Hack makes it more fun], Contra Hard Corps, Contra Invasion (crazy hack that adds new weapons and stuff), Daemon Claw, Demolition Man (solid 7/10), Dynamite Heady, Earthworm Jim 1 CD (2 sucks), Gunstar Heroes, Megaman The Wily Wars [the Mega Hack makes this better than the originals], MM The Sequel Wars (Better than NES), Mega Turrican, Midnight Resistance, Popful Mail [UnWorked hack], Rocket Knight 1&2, Shinobi 3, Shadow Dancer, Streets of Rage 2 & DX (only fun multiplayer imo), Tanzer, Terminator CD (solid 7/10), Ys III (rebalance hack)

Platformer: Animaniacs, Another World (AKA Out of this world), Ecco 2 CD (1 can be skipped imo), Flashback, Garfield, Pantufa the Cat, Pitfall CD, Quackshot, Ristar, Sonic (Classic Heroes, 3 Complete, MegaMix CD, Hellfire Saga)

don't know, haven't played:
Annet Futatabi, Alisia Dragoon, Blades of Vengeance, Blaster Master 2, Cyborg 009 CD, Dahna, El Viento, Gargoyles Ultimate, Hayato, Mazin Saga, Pulseman, Ranger X, Rent a Hero, Pirates of Dark Water, Strider, Valis 3, Wolfchild CD, XMen 2, Alter Ego, Escape 2042, Generations Lost, Highseas Havoc, Lost Vikings, Taruruuto, Maui Mallard, Mickey Mania CD, Castle of Illusion & World of Illusion, Prince of Persia 1 CD & 2 Remastered, Tinhead, Ultracore, Socket, sonic S-Factor & Mobius Evolution

A crazy idea I had for homebrew:

Mega CD BIOS reads sectors 0–15 of the CD to check for copyright, then hands off to the game. Game assets are accessed via an ISO 9660 filesystem.

Neo Geo CD
The BIOS ignores sectors 0–15. Instead, it starts at sector 16. It also uses ISO 9960.

This means you could hypothetically create a game that works on both Sega Mega CD & Neo Geo CD. They would mostly occupy their own area on the disc because graphics are formatted differently, though you could potentially share audio files which is the biggest part of 16 bit cd games.

Another possibility:

dreamcast supports multi session discs. On a multi-session disc, each session has its own independent sector 0. Session 1 gets the Mega cd & Neo cd header; session 2 gets the Dreamcast header. They never overlap. It might be possible to create a triple boot game.

In the mood for the World Cup, so I'm replaying my favorite football/soccer title on the SEGA Mega Drive... TECMO World Cup '92. I love that name especially because there was no World Cup in 1992, anyways it plays and looks great even today.
