When I was in Austria I found a little Bootlegged 8bit system and it came with a cart of a game called Mario Bros. 4
So I bought the thing and it was a little rom hack of like Jackie Chan’s game for the NES but Mario’s head on him, so Mario was in a wifebeater doing karate moves against random frogs and stuff
It was AWESOME
Seems like I’m the only person who enjoyed Thunder Force V.
A shmup of godly proportions. The music alone is like sex for your eardrums. The bosses are huge and kick-ass. The gameplay is very challenging, without being cheap or littering the screen with hundreds of bullets/missles to dodge like most newer shmups do. Truly a classic most people never even gave a chance.

Kill it. Preferably with fire.
Shatterhand - Nes
Flying Dragon Boxing - FamiCom
Fighters Hystory 2 - Super Famicom
Parodious - PC Engine
Tokimeki Memorial Puzzle (the 1st one, I don’t even remember the complete name) - PS1
And like someone else on a previous post, I was the only one with a Sega Saturn (jpn, to make things worse) so pretty much everything I had was unknown to them.
Shatterhand was AWESOME, but it was just hard.
It reminded me of Batman NES, but with a flying robot friend.
Werewolf: The Last Warrior was great, but I got stuck at the 2nd stage. I never found that game in cartridge format, only on rom unfortunately. I wanted to buy that game as a kid.
FF mystic quest
SFA3
FH2 for SFC is so broken it’s awesome, Chelnov was an asshole.
Are you kidding?
Pirates of Dark Water (the show and the games) is the shit.
Hell yeah, Aladdin was awesome. So was The Lion King. And good on you for playing Skyblazer. :tup:
You mean your heard of
Super Forensic Alias 3?
The Christmas NiGHTS bonus disc for the Saturn. Also, the Saturn version of SFA2. It’s ironic that as crappy as the system was overall, it was perfect for 2D games. Most every 2D fighter released for it was lauded as being the superior version between multiple releases, with some games being stated as being better than their arcade counterparts.
Plus, there was the old ad in magazines with the naked woman that was made to boast about the Saturn’s processing power.
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
I heard that the Saturn version of MSH was absolute SHIT, though, even with the 4MB RAM cart (which is funny considering that XSF is hailed as the best conversion EEEEEEEEEEVER!)
Warlock for my Apple IIgs in 1988 (Yea, that’s right, 1988, and I even had the Transwarp GS card that boosted the speed to a blazing fast !!7mhz!!)
Anyway, the idea was to move this little blue wizard through various stages that were part platform, part scripted-action. Jump at the right time, duck at the right time, shoot the right baddie, etc.
Fucking game was hard (at least for a 10 year old) I don’t think I ever made it past the 2nd stage, and I’ve never met anyone who’s ever heard of it. Even google just comes up with one page about it, the rest are just known game listings for the IIGS
Yeah, that was the one exception. Remember all the slowdown and whatnot that plagued the PS1 version, then amp that twofold even WITH the cart, plus add long ass loading times without the cart and you’ve got a near unplayable mess on your hands.
Ninja Gaiden Game Gear. Game sucked, but YEAH!
Also, a lot of people are mistaking Zool for Zoop. They are nothing alike.
Yoshi’s Motherfucking Safari
Wasn’t it based on the arcade game?
How about Gungrave: Overdose? Personally, I felt that it could’ve been much, much better. Camera work is shoddy as hell and there isn’t a lot of variety in what you could do combo-wise, regardless of character choice. Some of the special techs did look cool, though.
