yeah, that's a pretty fair assessment too. another like thing? i hate the #$@%ing pits in both of them
The pits are your friend. Lure enemies to do that dash attack and let them fall to their death. Or lure them near the pits and knock them off. REALLY comes in handy in the final level.
I swear the MD version was arcade perfect back in the day...its not until i played that arcade game on MAME and realised that its not at all arcade perfect but it did have 2 extra stages in its favour

Is it true the voice sampls are form Conan?
Yes.
One of them is. Another one is taken from First Blood (Rambo part 1).
The problem I had was, it wasn't obvious where to get the cores, even on the retroarch website. But after figuring that out, it's pretty easy. It doesn't seem to load my config automatically when I load up retroarch, that caught me out a TON when I was trying to get things working. Having to load a config manually is just ...
Unless there is a way for it to, but I was rebinding my controls every time I loaded Retroarch because of that. Ugh.
I think I'm using it wrong.
I may have seen that before and have forgotten about it. Good shit. I didn't realize just how many sound effects were taken from Conan and First Blood.

you're absolutely right & i do dig them for that (eat it, skellies) but man i hate insta-dying when i fuck up the crossing
like that one swamp bridge in the arcade Double Dragon, as a kid i must've lost some good $ on that shit, everytime
Yeah i believe that you either have to load the save config each time or just select that core and all the settings should load including the button configs.
The nightly builds can be found here...

make sure to get the latest retroarch, core and redist zip files

Cool and a shame at the same time.
Revenge of the Death Adder is so gorgeous.. I miss that generation.
This thread made me want to play Shining in the Darkness, and also Shining The Holy Ark on Saturn.

Yeah gdapt shader does a real good job....
Man I love Super Monaco GP. Been playing the Sega CD version. Went right after Tyrant, then Firenze and now I have the Madonna teams car. Think I may have went for Blanche as well but I can't remember off the top of my head. The minor tweaks are a nice addition as well. I know for sure the voice work is cleaner on the Sega CD.
On the topic of Adventures of Batman & Robin, you might be interested in reading this article about the canceled X-Women which was in development by Clockwork Tortoise:

I thought Brutal was the worst fighting game for the Genesis
Slaughter Sport may have just changed my thoughts on that.

Nice. That's probably the BEST MD filter I've ever seen.
Thanks, I didn't realise in your youtube description that you linked to not just the Nightly Builds, but all the other bits
I had grabbed retroarch from the website before hand, so I ignored the link. Great video by the way!Skeletons are by far the most annoying to fight.
That's pretty much the best way to kill those skeletons.
Slaughter Sport is nearly unplayable!!!

Kageki and Slaughter Sport are both way worse than Brutal. Slaughter Sport is legit up there in the worst games I've ever played.

Ka-ge-ki has some entertainment value, and is slightly playable.
Slaughter Sport....nope.

Wow, I'm perusing eBay and it's making me pretty God damn happy that I got Hard Corps CIB for 25 bucks while the getting was good.
Pretty fucked if I ever want a copy of Gunstar Heroes, though.

That game has a real cool aesthetic.
Agreed. I'm not sure I'd always use it, but it's very clever.
The correct title has always been TONGUE OF THE FATMAN.
WHAT IS THIS?
Why didn't you?
Gotta side with Alien Storm.
Way more varied than Golden Axe and the fighting is more fun.
Eh, it doesn't really do a lot about the dithering on the ground. For some reason it only concentrates on the girl.
I've always been a fan of dithering patterns, though. No filters for me.

Just picked these up.
Nice. Reminds me that I still need to get Shinobi III. I always preferred Revenge for some reason.
US version is more expensive complete in box, like 70+ bucks.
It looks cool, and sounds good...but my only problem is that it has only 1 stage theme heh.

The real bummer for me is that it's a game that I definitely enjoy, but not one of those must-haves (I prefer Hard Corps by quite a bit), so unless I get very lucky, I'm stuck with the digital versions of it.
