>1/2

Hello again, /vr/, OP here.


I'd just like to give another update on the games that I've played on the system that I've looked over for all these years.

I played Comix Zone for my first time in a while late last night and I'd have to say it's one of the best straight-up arcade style games that I've ever played. I love the fighting mechanics, they're really fluid, and everything in the game has so much polish to it. Although I doubt I'd ever beat it, due to the fact that you only get one life throughout the entire game, I still loved every second of it.

I also revisited Gunstar Heroes, this time playing it on normal difficulty, and it was still just as fun as ever (except for the dice palace, fuck that cruel-ass shit, sending me all the way back to the start after I die on the level boss:<). Still one of the best Genesis games I've played.

Rocket Knight Adventures is another game I revisited. Definitely better than what I remembered it being. I managed to get to the end of level five out of the seven levels there are in the game and I thought it was great. This is probably my favorite Konami game and overall action-platformer on the system.

I gave Aladdin a try, and I was really impressed with the music and animation, but not much else. Not to say that the gameplay isn't good, I just feel that there are better games of the genre on the Genesis. Still fun tho, I don't regret giving it a shot.

I gave Ranger-X and Sub-Terrania a try and I just couldn't get accommodated to the controls. I guess I just like games where you can just pick them up and start enjoying them without much else to worry about.
