Subterrania for Sega Genesis

[Crystalis]

Controls make or break a game - especially when you get into the vintage area.

I bought this game from a pawn shop around a year ago or so for $1 after hearing many good things, and after maybe an hour of playtime I gave up on 'learning' a passable (at least) way to control.

So yeah, gonna have to agree (gasp) with OP.





BTW I threw the cart away. Then took it out of the garbage, dropped it in a can full of paint, and let it sit there for 3 months. Then I let my dog bury it. Then when I was tilling I discovered it, took it back inside, cleaned off the dirt, chipped off the paint, printed a new label, brought it to proper playing condition, AND THEN threw it away.

So ha!

Regardless of one's opinion on the game(I wouldn't know, I haven't played it), all I can say is that that showed dedication.

Played this many years ago, when the Genesis was still an active console. Always got killed by the last boss, never did beat this one. I still own it, complete too

You get used to the controls eventually, if you have the patience(something I think I had a lot more of when I was young). That's really the whole point of the game. Yes, it's hard and I don't blame anyone for giving up on it. I'm not one of those weirdos who thinks that simply being a hard game is a virtue, not if the game is not fun to play(God Hand comes to mind). However, like it or not, I believe the difficult controls were the whole point of the game. It was about learning how to control a vehicle in a strong gravity environment. It would have just been a generic shooter otherwise.

I remember reading a story once that the game was never licensed by Sega, as in it never should have been officially released but was. I know that sounds weird but I could have sworn I read that somewhere.

That sounds odd since Zyrinx ended up coding a 3D Demo to show off the 32X.

I've never played this game, but this video was enough to make me hate it.

Sub-Terrania was a 1994 game. By that time Sega had long resolved licensing issues with third party publishers (in this case Scavenger, Inc.). The music was scored by Jesper Kyd. Funny because I first heard of him when I got the Assassin's Creed 2 soundtrack Not a bad game by any means.

Subterrania had a great soundtrack.
