Much of that "line art" on the EU box are the same lines and squiggles that are on the JP box. EU box has the bonus of featuring Robotnik and a couple of the animals, as well.Despatche wrote:The Japanese Sonic boxes were absolutely phenomenal for many years. The European box is just some line art stuffed in the original European/American "grid" template, it's not very interesting.

Amen brother! That's how I stumbled across Rocket Knight Adventures. My mom wouldn't let me get Mortal Kombat 2 when I was 9 since it was all the rage in the news about parents complaining about it. I remember being pissed since I had been saving money from mowing a few neighbors lawns for months and couldn't buy what I wanted.....but then I saw Rocket Knight on the rack and as soon as I saw the Konami logo I knew it was worth my money.IrishNinja wrote:god, this & the era that followed, i'd buy a game i barely knew if it had konami's label on it.

Mostly true, though the US Hard Corps works on Japanese systems. Probably due to that version also releasing in South Korea. I think it may still be PAL locked, though.neorichieb1971 wrote: Is it true that all Konami games are region locked? I'd rather get a PAL Turtles heist as its cheaper!!!!

If you enjoy the beat-em-up genre I think it's well worth it. I might be a minority here, but I prefer it to Turtles in Time.neorichieb1971 wrote:Is Turtles Heist worth the money it goes for?
I'll try it out on the Mega Everdrive and see how it works on a US system. I was surprised to find that Wily Wars EU wasn't optimized at all and plays at the correct speed when the region lock is bypassed on US/JP hardware.neorichieb1971 wrote: Can someone please test Turtles Heist PAL on a Genesis setting please?
I actually prefer the NES versions as well, but the problem with Wily Wars/Rockman Megaworld isn't just the slowdown. I found the music to be inferior to the NES (don't get me wrong, I love the Genesis sound chip, but the remixes fell flat for me), the physics are changed for the worse (knockback was lessened), speed of obstacles and bullets in MM1 were slowed down to be like later games, and the firing isn't as responsive.Shoryukev wrote:I need to overclock mod my Genesis for that game.

i totally had my non-TMSS model 1 OC'd when i was having it region modded and half the time i forget it's there...sega-16 does have an awesome list for games it plays nice with.Shoryukev wrote:I need to overclock mod my Genesis for that game.

I liked the remixed music, but the NES versions are the definitive Mega Man's. I noticed in Wily Wars a little bit of clunkiness in movement when you're at a dead stop and need to just nudge Mega Man left or right slightly....he does this little side step and it seems a little awkward. The firing is also limited to 3 "lemons" on-screen at a time, which as a westerner felt a little strange at first...but once I got used to it I liked that. Overall it's decent at best, but the Wily Tower is an awesome concept.BrianC wrote:I actually prefer the NES versions as well, but the problem with Wily Wars/Rockman Megaworld isn't just the slowdown.

I'll have to check out the list and see if it's worth it, but you're probably right about it being a largely unused function.IrishNinja wrote:i totally had my non-TMSS model 1 OC'd when i was having it region modded and half the time i forget it's there...sega-16 does have an awesome list for games it plays nice with.
Pretty sure that is accurate to the NES originals.Shoryukev wrote:The firing is also limited to 3 "lemons" on-screen at a time, which as a westerner felt a little strange at first...but once I got used to it I liked that.
It's a lot of fun. I don't care much for the Genesis sequel though. But the SNES one, I think is a lot of fun.Skykid wrote:Rocket Knight is one of the best original platformers of the 16bit era.
A lot of people tend to underestimate the amazing SNES Sparkster due to the underwhelming Genesis game by the same name (I think that game is a little underrated too, though). I really love the SNES one. Such a fun and bright game, it's really the perfect example of what a high octane 16bit platformer should be like. Just don't expect it to play like the original Rocket Knight, they are clearly very different games.evil_ash_xero wrote: It's a lot of fun. I don't care much for the Genesis sequel though.

Genesis Twin Cobra is.. not good. It pains me to say it too cause it's one of my favorite games of all time. PC Engine port is much better.TransatlanticFoe wrote:Best Western release shmups? Basically all the Toaplan games
Indeed, it is fantastic.hanasu wrote:Genesis Twin Cobra is.. not good.
Truth be told, it also took me a while to get used to it, but once I did, I loved it. Microscopic, ceaseless spread-shot evisceration against equally ruthless enemies. Evidently not as faithful as the PCE Kyuukyoku Tiger, yet a lot more satisfying in my opinion.While I do like the MD port quite a bit, I find it impossible to go back to it after having played the arcade version - which is not the case with most of their other ports. The main problem is that enemies in the MD version are incredibly resilient and the missile weapon is almost useless, too. Everything other than a concentrated shot is completely incapable of taking out larger enemies before they leave the screen. As a result, you're oftentimes tanking hits with the shield (or bomb in the case of Grind Stormer) where you would release relentless aggression in the arcade version. Also, the second loop in the arcade V-V is supreme, they obviously couldn't even begin to replicate that on the MD.Sumez wrote:For whatever reason V-V/Grind Stormer always gets passed over. Even if it pales in comparison to the arcade version, I'd consider it probably one of the best shooters on Genesis at all.
