Yes though the arcades didn't get that many great action platformers, it's just one of the best action platformers of all time. Great game, would be perfect if the red arremer AI wasn't so dumb.

Definitely the best arcade action platformer I’ve ever played, hope I can play an actual cab of it someday. Local arcade has ghosts n goblins, which is still pretty awesome

I like the part where you do the exact same shit twice (with slightly higher rank) or it doesn't count. And then you get rewarded with bad grammar.

>>6269579
Yes

This but unironically, wish they kept infinite loops like in the first game the game's great enough to warrant pushing its difficulty

>>6269676
My point is the higher rank doesn't influence difficulty very much, in the second loop you get 3 skeleton dragons instead of 2 in the 5th stage but if you die it goes back to 2 anyway. Shrug.

That was released in arcades? Maybe. But there really aren't THAT many platformers released in arcades that are particularly notable in the first place, so that's kind of relatively speaking.

I haven't had an opportunity to play on the cab, but I have the Saturn port and a Sanwa arcade stick, which I guess is pretty close. Amazing game

>Genesis version
Get that shit outta here
Anyway, I forget which it was but either the US or Jap version fucks up the loop 1 difficulty and effectively starts at loop 2 in terms of spawn rates and enemy speeds, in the other version the difference between loops is much more obvious, as early as level 1 really.

I had GNG for Mega Drive back in 1991 and even if it was awesome It was also frustrating seeing how much better the graphics of the arcade version were. Nevertheless, being able to play on emulators nowadays I believe the MD version has better music and sound effects, and feels more fun to me for some reason. Of course, the arcade version is still a visual powerhouse, though.

Why not post the true art, anon?
