Post by: Ichirou on October 24, 2007, 11:47:01 PM: I came in late to the Genesis generation (we had a SNES in our house), and I was always so jealous of my friends who owned "the mature" console.

Title: Re: Sega Genesis Appreciation Thread
Post by: Ichirou on October 24, 2007, 11:58:57 PM: OMG OMG OMG FLASHBACK

I remember an issue of Gamepro came with a shitty Flashback comic book but it got me SO excited for the game.

VECTOR MAN!!!!! :bow :bow

I mean, wow, people talk about Donkey Kong Country, but Vector Man looked just as good and played BETTER.

And the Genesis X-Men game was BETTER than the SNES one...it even had this awesome gimmick at the end where you had to reset the console to be able to finish the game (which made it unfinishable on the Nomad, which had no reset button)!!!!
Title: Re: Sega Genesis Appreciation Thread
Post by: Himu on October 25, 2007, 12:01:42 AM: have you played out of this world??

Another Genny game better than the snes one: JURASSIC PARK. I GOT TO PLAY AS A RAPTOR :punch

Post by: Ichirou on October 25, 2007, 12:12:24 AM: You don't need a Sega CD. I think Sega CD emulation has been perfected, so all you need to do are get the game CDs (they can probably be found on eBay) and you can play them on your PC.

EDIT: FUCK I FORGOT SONIC CD
ONE OF THE BEST SONIC GAMES EVER

Post by: demi on October 25, 2007, 12:17:12 AM: Why are you jizzing over Heart of the Alien?

Quick fact sheet:

a) Out of this World sucked
b) Heart of the Alien was worse
c) Heart of Darkness is better
Title: Re: Sega Genesis Appreciation Thread
Post by: Ichirou on October 25, 2007, 12:27:25 AM: I never played Heart of the Alien or Heart of Darkness. Until a few moments ago, I didn't even know Heart of the Alien existed.

Yes, I realize I made a mistake. But for some reason while I was growing up my dad was an ignorant N-tard (read tech magazines and decided to buy me an SNES)

That's okay. SNES had CHRONO TRIGGER.
