Two games that escape my memory

Post by UBERTRON777 »

I was hoping someone could help me remember these two games for the Sega Genesis. In one you played as a doodle kind of similar to Comix Zone in concept. In the other you are in a mech and the graphics looked really good (It's not ESWAT or Assualt Suit Leynos). The sprite was pretty big and you just walked forward and destroyed everything.

I have no idea what the first one is, but the second sounds like battletech.

For the doodle one, Maybe Fido Dido or Kid Chameleon?

Mech game could be Ranger X.

Yeah, the first one was fido dido. The second one wasn't either of those but Ranger X looks excellent. The mech game was a side scroller and I think you could switch between separate weapons. The Mech might have been green.

Sure you're not thinking about Cybernator/Assaults Suits Valken for SNES? That has a green mech.

I'm sure. The mech was pretty big on the screen and moved kind of slowly.

Exo Squad has three different types of gameplay - Shmup, Fighter, Sidescroller - but what you mention sounds a lot like the sidescrolling segments in that game.
I recall there being a variety of moves and you moved slowly, but I think you always played as a blue mech. The main sprite was also very big.

On a side note, I found Exo Squad an enjoyable game, but the space harrier-like shooting segments were not good.

Yeah, I think that's it. The visuals aren't as good as I remember but I might play it again.

Well, he did say no Leynos, so I skipped that one. Only when he mentioned the mech might be green did I suggest Valken. :wink:
