Better than what I could do, but I honestly was hoping for some sort of Terror Mask from someone
Is Bomberman 94 really that much better than 93?
Just feels more complete, the single player is a blast and the multi is very engrossing as well.

Is Mega Bomberman the same as Bomberman '94? Any reason to get one if you have the other?
Yes I think it is. The megadrive is a port of the pc engine's Bomberman 94' and it's the first and last pc engine bomberman on an 8megabit card. There are most likely color, screen resolution and sound differences between the two. whichever one to get I guess will depend on what platform you prefer..
The graphics and presentation are top notch however I did find the music on 93' superior.

'93 saves your progress to the system, if you have a CD drive or save addon, while '94 does not, for some stupid reason. Sure, the passwords are very simple 4-digit numbers, but still! That's one reason I got '93 and not '94. Japanese version though, the US version is a bit expensive...

Hm, I think I did ok. I just won an auction for 8 hucard only games for $42. Jackie Chan was one of them, as well as PC Genjin 2, Wataru, Son Son II, Bravoman, Dragon Egg and a couple others.
i guess so or you can also try japan game stock website. I haven't used them in a while but I have ordered a lot in the past. They may have gotten pricier these day..

Also do not use yokai douchuuki with a multi tap otherwise you will just get a blank screen.

That is true. I like you guys.
Can't wait to get my shipment in the mail, I'm looking forward to playing Jackie Chan on actual hardware.

The SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive thread wasn't (yet). And my own MSX thread is also still in Gaming.
But yeah, I've also subscribed to this one.

The Gen/MD thread was in community for a while but got put back on Gaming after some protests, lol
Wow really? Again though I don't think this will really effect any retro threads though. It'll never happen but if there was a "retro/collecting" subsection of the forum, I think that would be the ideal way to keep these threads getting attention while also stopping them from "cluttering" the front page every now and again.
ooo the music on that game gives me joy

I want one just to play Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

It's one of the PCE's best soundtracks next to Devil's Crush and dare I say it, Batman.
I love Batman on PCE, it's so weird.
My understanding is that the Genesis version is superior... So don't worry about that one!
The Genesis one is easier from what I've seen, but the Supergrafx version is more faithful to the arcade. In the end the best version is on one of the Capcom compilations floating around.

I'd want Aldynes, but not that much.

I bought Götzendiener. It's too intriguing and cheap. Can't wait.
Capcom Ages one on Saturn is the best console port however. Avoid the PS2 Capcom classics, 480i blurry ass digital ellipse turds.
It most definitely isn't IMO. SGX one looks so much better.

Capcom Generation 2 on Playstation is a preferable package since Chomakaimura's aspect ratio is fucked up on the Saturn version. Be aware that both PS1 and Saturn versions run a lot better than the original though, and it's harder without the slowdown.

True, but if you wanna play super ghouls and ghosts, there's a better system for that
Back in the day (15 years ago :/) I chose the Saturn version because the Saturn has a non-awful dpad. Of course I have a Saturn playstation controller these days so it's moot.
I just got a copy of Götzendiener myself. It's... I have regrets. It doesn't play nearly as well as it looks.

When it comes to controller, I guess it's a matter of personal preference. The Ultra Street Fighter IV Evo 2014 champion used a 20 year old PS1 controller, and I'm sure he doesn't think it's shit.True, but if you wanna play super ghouls and ghosts, there's a better system for that

Wow...the music sounds pretty good too. At least the intro music anyway.

They showed up today. Not bad for $42.
The intro is by far the best part of the game. The gameplay feels super unfinished. I was warned about it though, so I have nobody but myself to blame.
Such a damned shame too, this game COULD have been great.

Yes there was a 'warning' earlier in the thread. I'm intrigued enough based on videos to have justified my $14 delivered price tag however

Captured some Super Dodge Ball footage - The PC Engine version is by far my favorite version of the game. It's a shame the proud tradition of "fake sports" games doesn't continue to this day.

Seconded. I know licensed sports games have to bring in big money, but it's amazing to me that "fake sports" have almost vanished entirely from modern gaming. I was thinking of trying "Hit the Ice" next.
you should get it. Naxat soft did a stellar game !

A copy of Devil Crash in fantastic condition I ordered from Japan a few weeks ago finally arrived today. Paid well below the usual eBay scumbag price so am well chuffed.
I still can't decide which version I prefer, the original on PCE or the MD port by TechnoSoft.

Tecnosoft version got the better tunes but I can't shake the feeling that the aspect ratio of the play area is all wrong.
