Is that a common opinion on Ristar? I actually liked that stage(along with all the others). Even the water level was great which we all know how rare that is.

And Ristar, this on the genesis/MD. All 3 have amazing soundtracks and their own style.

RKA just loved how it looks with that cartoon look and a story telling like a S&K where you don't need words to understand something is going on in that world with a progression each new area. The rocket system was pretty fun, despite Sparkster sequel or Snes version not being that good or memorable as a whole like the original was, but the rocket system was better in those
That crazy hard mode... 1 hit = to you die, really Konami, that's insane.

D.Headdy is just unique and have many hidden shit(YOU FOUND A SECRET BONUS POINT). Hard as shit in level 6 or so when you reach that flying are with Maruyama throwing shit at Headdy.
That basketball mini-game was too much fun.

But he is right, SNES Sparkster has more open levels with larger vertical space to make better use of the jetpack ability.

I still prefer the original RKA, though.

>> No.4073029

>>4073019
You don't need open spaces for the jet pack. Many times you have to use the jet pack in enclosed spaces so you can bounce off the walls which was important in various levels, hell one of the bosses was just a room that moved downward and was going to crush you if you weren't making your bounces.

Whoever considers crash bandikot a good game is a fucking mouthbreather. Man you got horrible taste.

Rocketknight adv is a fantastic game only dragged down by it's soundchip, furry character design and tons of invincibility "frames" but I think modern kids love that shit. Overall excellent game, just not too fond of the points I just listed.

Yes, the music is outstanding for megadrive. And the composition is epic. I just mean it sounds like its in a tin can or something. The audio itself sounds weird and a bit annoying. It's not as clean as snes or amiga music.

Holy shit man! I didnt say sparksters music was better. I also explained that not the composition was bad but the megadrive accoustics that always sound like a speaker drowning in a toiletbowl.

And I gave you an example where Genesis sounds worlds better than SNES in terms of sound quality. SynthFM required a lot of attention since it wasn't as streamlined/prefabricated as the SNES soundfont library, but in the right hands it sounded much better and had a lot more versatility. Holy shit man!!1

Well, since I never heard a megadrive track that didn'T sound like like a donkey pissing into a tin bucket, even thought the donkey got insane music talent, I have to say I disagree. If there is a megadrive track that doesn'T give me a headache after 20 minutes I havent found it and i would be glad to hear that it is possible. Until then no song, even if the brinstar theme was translated to he megadrive soundchip, will sound enjoyable to me. I understand that the technology is better on the megadrive, but for my taste it failed. Yes a unicycle is technologically more advanced than a shoes, but still it's easier to get to work with shoes than on a unicycle.
