I'm slowly getting into wanting an Everdrive for the Genesis...and other consoles. Sigh, my wallet. And I'll selfishly throw in Dragon's Fury as my recommendation for Game of the Month
Thanks man, I wasn't aware of that, and always gave for granted that any Euro-made game wouldn't suffer from horrible PALness. Usually, with the retro systems that allow it, I only buy PAL games when I'm sure they can be played at 60hz (with a few exceptions, mainly due to collecting purposes), otherwise I simply don't bother at all. With the Mega Drive/Mega-CD in particular, so far I've bought Japanese games only, and I plan to get a Game Genie and a Mega Cart eventually (every time I'm about to get them, some nicer Japanese game pops up, so I push them back, lol), but only for Genesis/SEGA-CD games. Also, I've been told the Mega Drive 2 can't run PAL50 carts through adapters, so I'm not even considering them at the moment.Nah, the idea that a game made in Europe would automatically have the correct gameplay on their PAL release is not true. Most of the time European-developed console games suffered the same flaws as their NTSC counterparts, simply because the dev units came directly from Japan and were 60Hz. It's also easier to base the speed of stuff on the framerate as it's a super reliable timing. Very rarely would you have a dev spend time and money to optimise their game for PAL-land.
I don't know about WipeOut (I only own the PAL exclusive 3SE), but I know that Tomb Raider and Rayman aren't optimised for the PAL region (Tomb Raider has landscape instead of black bars, but the models are crunched and the gameplay is slow). Checking now with a video of Mickey's wild adventure, it's also definitely slower than Mickey Mania on my Megadrive (the music is also slower which means it's not redbook btw). Crash Bandicoot is cool though. So it's like throwing a coin, sometime it is, sometime it's not ¯\_(ツ
Sub Terrania was published in a period where many PAL releases were region-locked, and some of them were PAL-optimised. Sonic Spinball and Sonic 3 got the same treatment, Legend of Thor had a shit optimisation that solves nothing but prevents the game from being played at 60Hz. before late 1993 no game were optimised, no matter the studio. Maybe SEGA, wanting to limit import madness also gave devs tools to properly develop for PAL.
Me gusta.
If we follow the NES board than those 2 games are over the $10 limit. Unless we bump it to $15-$20, which I'm fine with. Also do we want to bump the games to vote in to 10? This way it will give people a chance to suggest a game that don't visit the board as often.
Yeah, what the hell is wrong with me? I don't know why I thought it was $10. Wow! $30 good.
Here are my 2 attempts.
i like the top too, ok, i'll try looking local for it.
Thanks. I like the Sonic banner but not the first one. I like yours with the black and white, it's got that old yearbook look to it.Jake, I'm liking your two banners (Especially the Sonic Act Title one). Here is my humble submission, featuring my original Genesis and Altered Beast from when it was bought...
Huh? If you're talking arcade ports, there's Forgotten Worlds and The Punisher and like above Mercs.
Chiki Chiki Boys/Mega Twins is pretty solid too. Even Muscle Bomber/Slam Masters made its way to the MD (decent port, even if quite inferior to the SNES').
That's true, though. What did we get from them on? Megaman, Street Fighter II, Super SFII, Saturday Night: Slam Masters, The Punisher, I guess one of those Mickey Mous games... What else?
When are we starting this?Here are my 2 attempts.
We can start this Tuesday March 1st. When we reach 5 games I'll make the voting form up, give it a week allowing people to vote in. We can follow the same rules as the NES board to keep things consistent.
Cool, we should pick games in the 5-30 bucks range.
I need to do this next time I play it, reminds me of how to beat Mecha Sonic before the battle hardly starts, lol.

Interesting. I love seeing tricks like this 2 decades later.

Yeah. What? I hate that fight
