It's vastly superior to that NES game, that's for sure.
As kid I felt like a badass destroying everything with the Tommy gun...until I realized the game punishes you for it.

It's even more superior to the Dick Tracy "games" that Titus put out for home computers.

The pre-Sonic Genesis/ Mega Drive games had that distinctive loo to them.

I bought it on a whim. So glad I did. Great game to play with a joystick instead of normal pad

I always liked Spider-Man vs Kingpin on the Genesis/ mega Drive. Visually, the game didn't look mind blowing. But it plays well.

Beat this game a few weeks back. I like it a lot but I think it takes a particular type of fan to get into it. It's a sidescrolling action game but it's not really your run of the mill sidescrolling action game. There's a fair bit of depth to it mechanically and I could understand being put off by things like the time limit and photography/web fluid stuff if you're unfamiliar, its limited animation, weird level design choices, and a few oddly specific boss fights. It's ultimately a good, simple game though if you manage to get into it. I think it's the best Spider-Man game of that generation. I love Maximum Carnage as much as the next guy (probably more so, honestly) but it's not much more than an average beat em up with great music that requires you know its secrets before making any real progress.

I wouldn't mark Sonic as the specific turning point, but I kind of know what you mean -Sega's arcades from around that era had a similar look-. It was kind of a soft, washed up look completely different to the later super crisp dithered Genesis style. The artists were probably not yet accustomed to the bigger palettes

I'm pretty sure Winston is excluded because Sega had the license to the first Ghostbusters movie. Winston was not a major character, he appeared in the second half of the movie. The actor Ernie Hudson wasn't a well known actor either. He played a supporting character and was not part of the main cast. The top billed cast in order is Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver (she ranked third in billing), Harold Ramis, and Rick Moranis. Ernie Hudson was credited below Annie Potts. Winston's role was reduced in the final Ghostbusters to give more screen time to the main cast. Originally Winston was meant to be played by Eddie Murphy.

Ernie Hudson's name in the final movie credits appears after the actor that plays Walter Peck, who had a bigger role than Winston. Ernie Hudson/ Winston was never part of the promotional material, either. The Real Ghostbusters cartoon and Ghostbusters II are different though.

Winston wasn't a founding member of tbe Ghostbusters, so he tends to get the short end of the stick.

The role of Winston was meant to be much bigger when Eddie Murphy was the top choice to play the character. But Eddie Murphy chose to be Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop instead, which was the number one movie of 1984. While Ghostbusters was the number two movie of 1984. The Winston in the final movie was reduced to being a supporting character to give more screen time to the three main comedians and Sigourney Weaver.

That's why Winston was never in any of the GB1 games or merchandise. But for Ghostbuetsre 2, Ernie was bumped to to being part of the main cast from a supporting role. So he was in the GB2 promotional material and games. Winston was also a main character i the cartoon series as well.

Nothing makes me harder than when they use part of the ambience as percussion. In fact, off the top of my head, the only other instance of this I can think of is in Shovel Knight where the propellers in the flying stage become the drums.

To clear up all the bullshiting in this thread; Famitsu had an article about this - Sega could simply not justify using four characters because three already represented differently balanced types.

So, no racism(looking at you liberal wackos), no licensing problems, just a conscious decision to avoid redundancy.

The Mega Drive was released in Japan in 1988. The Genesis was released in the US in 1989. Sonic the Hedgehog 1 was released 1991.
