This is Alien 3 for the Mega Drive.

Sonic 2/3&K and Comix Zone are the only good Genesis games developed outside of Japan.

Sonic 2, 3 and S&K, while developed outside of Japan, were developed by japanese guys who happened to be in the USA. Yes, some westerners helped with some coding and some ideas (mostly marketing), but they're japanese games, in the sense that the directors, producers, etc are japanese. In the case of 3/S&K the music is half western though.

Anon, everyone knows that when Americans make stuff outside of America that stuff is still 100% American even if the majority team wasn't American but when non-Americans make stuff inside America that stuff is also 100% American even if only the company receptionist was American.

I like Batman&Robin, Sub-Terrania, Pocahontas and Mega Turrican. I even appreciate Ecco, even though I never played through it. I also enjoy Red Zone even though it's mostly just one big tech demo.

I came across image related while digging through old issues of Die hard GameFan Magazine. Scavenger was part of the Zynrinx crew, and this was one of their genesis/ MD games in development, that was cancelled, then pushed over to the 32X under the name Heavy Machinery. Heavy machinery was cancelled as well. Nitro Wrecks looked kinda impressive.,

Sub-Terrania made me think why cave-flying was such a popular and common game genre in the Nordic countries in the first place?

Aladdin has amazing visuals but it's not anything special gameplay wise. The visuals alone make it more interesting than the SNES game though. Same with EWJ

Tech demo tier except for Turrican and Ecco which are elevated by their soundtrack. Never played Sub-Terrania and Pirates though.

what is it with the Genesis and sloppy fonts/ui?
SNES always had timers and scores in smaller high-res fonts with much cleaner placements.

This is Alien 3 for the Master System.

It’s not. It’s a hostage rescue-ing platform shooter. I guess the closest thing would be Genesis Moonwalker actually. You have time & ammo management, enemies, bosses, and it’s kind of a maze. It’s a scary game. Totally different and not comparable to the SNES game.

Too bad the SNES game looks better but the Genesis game is more fun to play, the SNES version should have been a mix of both

kid chameleon is a solid playing game that gets insanely difficult and confusing, and if you look up all the secrets it has shows an intense love behind the project. It's the Sega Genesis experience in microcosm.

Always was uneasy about playing this because of the alien creeping out from behind the corner at the start of every level.
