nice group of choices
Same guys that did Sub-Terrania. From the screenshots I've seen, it looks a little like Chaos Engine.
I just got a complete pal version of Marvel Land from the UK for about $25 including shipping, might be cheaper than the us version. Could not find the game on any of the lists of region-locked or optimised games, so should hopefully work fine on all machines. Pal name is Talmit's Adventure.

Three games I've never played. Nice. Need to do some research.

I suspect Ristar will win.
I'm not fond of Ristar...I don't know. I've given it a go multiple times and it has just never clicked with me.
That said, I certainly don't hold it against anybody. I can see the qualities in that game that people like. It's not a mystery to me why people like that game.
If it wins, I'll certainly give it another go.
Still...I voted for Marvel Land. Marvel Land is another game that I haven't played since the early 90s. I did beat it then, but I have pretty much zero recollection of it.

I voted for Marvel Land because I had never heard of it until yesterday and it looked interesting. All choices are good though.
Never played any of those. Never even seen or heard of some.
Marvel Land looks and sounds fun. Even HCG101 gives it some good remarks.
Voted Marvel Land

Alright the voting is closed for march, and while I changed Davids vote away from it, it didnt really matter much in the end as one game reigned supreme:
Marvel Land (blue) 5
Thunder Force 3 (violet) 3
Mercs (red) 2
Red Zone (green) 3
So a pretty clear victory for Ristar, who finally takes it home in its third nomination. Get your copies ready for march - and in the meantime: Get ready for Comix Zone in february!
With a total of 13 of the 26 votes, Ristar (yellow) won what is probably the most convincing victory so far and is thus the game for march! The other votes went like this:
Marvel Land (blue) 5
Thunder Force 3 (violet) 3
Mercs (red) 2
Red Zone (green) 3
So a pretty clear victory for Ristar, who finally takes it home in its third nomination. Get your copies ready for march - and in the meantime: Get ready for Comix Zone in february!

wow Ristar the runaway favorite
You know, I think I'd be okay if each poll dictated the next two games to be played. For example, from this poll we'd deduce that the next two games would be Ristar (March) and Marvel Land (April). That way a lesser known game is likely to make the rounds as (usually) the more popular one would take first in each poll.

damn... ristar it is
Wow, I knew Ristar would win but I didn't think it would be a landslide victory. Just checked Ristar eBay prices... yikes!
I kind of agree. Lesser known games don't stand a chance once a well known game is nominated.
Aw, missed the voting (not that it would've changed anything, lol) and got punished. The only time I got like 3 games out of 5, the harder/way much more expensive* to get - out of the remaining two - won hands down. I'll pretend the winner is Thunderforce III.

I have Japanese Ristar in my wishlist.
Thanks. -- I don't think I got that particular Sega newsletter. Let me see if it's uploaded online somewhere.

did you ever find it? i still have a few copies - it was free, but like 5-6 pages, its what they did before Visions in the genesis era. there's rare sega stuff you could get only through it, like the big after burner poster & actual copies of power strike.
a few knuckleheads on ebay want way too much for it, but im pretty sure ive scans about if you're looking!

Yeah I've seen it in videos. Impressive tech.
Anyone replace the spindle on their Sega CD? I read a few things saying you can replace it with a PlayStation one and get rid of the magnetic top portion.
I'm looking for any guide but can't find any? Just checking in.
edit: Just realized there is a separate Sega CD thread, but i'll leave this in case anyone can help

I've played it somewhat before, so I didn't start from scratch, but I'm still making progress.
If you make it to level 3 or 5 you get one additional life. The trick is knowing which path to take, and how to best destroy obstacles without taking much damage.
