Hellfire pcb, better than Genesis port?

Post by neorichieb1971 »

I kinda like this game and was wondering if PCB ownership is the desired route of most of you.

Thanks for your response.

PS. I already own the Genesis version.

Does anyone know how the PCE CD version plays?
I had the impression it was a lot easier, maybe I'll pick it up for serious runs in a few days.

I found the PCECD version of Hellfire to be of modest difficulty when compared to the Genesis version…

BUT I haven't played the Genesis version in well over 15 years :oops:
I know my skillset has improved since those days and times but I have not been able to track down a Genesis version of Hellfire outside of the ebay…

Thanks for the heads up. I guess at some point I might need a joystick then. Since I can't play on that pad.
