Turrican: I’m pretty sure instead of Another World the sequel to Flashback is Out of this World. Just to clarify.
SMC: Here’s some impressions from that second list you posted:
Alien Storm – incredibly plain beat em up with repeating enemies, un-inspired environments. Pick it up for cheap and blow through it on a Sunday afternoon.
Atomic Runner – incredibly odd run ‘n gunner…where you can never stop running. Nonetheless the music is interesting and the game is enjoyable. Pick it up, pretty hard to find in most area.
Castlevania Bloodlines – Well shit, I probably like it even more than SOTN. And that’s saying something. A 16-bit masterpiece in every respect.
Comix Zone – Quite possibly the most original beat em up I’ve ever played. The game has that American comic book 90s feel with all the illustrations, and it gets pretty hard near the end, but it’s great.
Crackdown – Chances are, like me, you’ll think the game sucks ass once you see how much of a playing area you have. Stick with it, though, and you’ll be rewarded with an addicting game where you run around shooting guys and strapping bombs on easily (all you do is walk over a red X and the bomb’s strapped)
Cyborg Justice – Remember how much hype this game got back in the day? Well I finally got this game a few months back and am quite saddened to see how incredibly horrible the game is. Pass on it, definitely. Unless you see it for $1 shipped. Because anything’s worth a buck.
Forgotten Worlds – Pretty good conversion of the arcade Capcom game..if you’re familiar with Burai Fighter or SCAT on NES then you’ll know how the game plays. Something you’ll beat on a Sunday afternoon and prolly won’t pick up ever again.
Granada – Overhead tank shooter published by Renovation. Just about anything published by Renovation on the Genney is quality stuff, so expect no less. First level or so is pretty boring, but it gets better.
Mickey Mania – Interesting platformer that shows the evolution of Mickey basically..get it for cheap, prolly won’t hold your attention for long. The first level kicks ass, tho.
Ninja Gaiden – this is a PAL and Japanese only MD game, FYI. Never released in USA.
Outrun 2019 – It’s basically Outrun…at nighttime with a bunch of neon lights and whatnot. Instead of the “hot” colors used in the original, this one features “cool” colors, like purple, blue, black, etc. It’s not very good, imo. I heavily doubt the developers of the original had anything to do with this Genesis only game.
Phelios – Nice lil shmup featuring a lot of mythology. Best thing about this game was the more you progressed in the game, the more Athena’s clothes came off. For awhile that was the only thing motivating me to play through it.
Sparkster – Play the original RKA and this game. You’ll definitely see a decrease in the quality with Sparkster (I personally believe the members that would make up Treasure worked on RKA and not Sparkster, hence the lack of goodness). It’s an OK game, but nothing tops the original.
Trouble Shooter – Incredibly funny cute em up featuring two young ladies as the main characters (Dirty Pair influence, anyone?). I love this game, and the translation job for the American version (besides the box art) is terrific.
Vector Man – Considered to be a Genesis classic by many, including me. I remember being absolutely blown away by the graphics and soundtrack..at times I’d just shoot stuff before the game started with the SEGA logo. Buy it.
Wings of Wor – Another shmup that’s reminiscient of Legendary Wings (except WOW is horizontal). It’s pretty fugly but still enjoyable. Pretty hard to find nowadays too. Check it out if you can.
And the SNES version of Zombies Ate My Neighbors wails on the Genney version
