April Together Retro: 1980s Genesis

[racketboy]

Ooh! This should be fun.
I really wish Truxton was on the Mini -- I'm too lazy right now to flash my unit and I don't have an Everdrive.
I've had Truxton on my shopping list for a while, but been too cost-conscience to pull the trigger on it.

I dig this idea . May have to jump back in.

Nemoide, do you have an adapter to play MD games on a Genesis? Just curious, as I'm interested in getting some JP MD games down the line.

You'll want a Game Genie. You'll need it to get around the region locked games anyway.

I went hardcore and have a Japanese Mega Drive for playing import games because I thought it would be fun to have. But as Gunstar Green said, the Game Genie is what most folks use and works for most of the games out there!

I actually have a Game Genie already, but it doesn't seem to work anymore -- just boots up to a black screen. Gonna be tough to get any isopropyl alcohol at the moment, but I'll have to try cleaning it or just purchase another one.

That's awesome you have a Japanese Mega Drive on-hand!

It's also just sexy with that giant gold 16-bit emblem.

This is a tough month for me, in general I hate Sega consoles, and that list of early sega games is a bit rough. There are some great games on the list most notably golden axe, revenge of shinobi, and ghouls n ghosts, but I have played just about everything on that list that I am interested in playing.

Having said that, it is April and I have not played a genesis game yet, and I would not be opposed to doing my annual playthrough of golden axe or replaying ghouls n ghosts.

I do have a mild interest in forgotten worlds and last battle so maybe I will check them out

I just need to be the lone person to admit to actually enjoying Sword of Vermillion. I will say it's a bit less than the sum of its parts and agree with not doing anything well at that). But it was a fun adventure anyway. I love exploring and growing the character, and only a game like this has that old-timey simple RPG feel, all with an action battle system to keep you from falling asleep.

Played through the entire game on original cart about a decade ago and have no regrets.

If I ever play it again (this time on the Sega PSP collection) I ought to do my own reveiw of it. It's not amazing, but is a bit misunderstood.

Hey, someone has to like it

What's your thoughts on Kid Chameleon?

I spent some time with Space Harrier II and Ghouls n‘ Ghosts last night.

These games are hard.
