Tell me what cheesy-bad 16-bit platformer I should play instead (not Alisia Dragoon).

Flatulent Lagoon?

Or Pirates of Dark Water, yes.

Or Doom Truppen.

Or Ranger-X (Ex-Ranza).

I would say Atomic Runner now but it's actually awesome, one of my top ten genesis games

so then there's always Rocket Knight Adventures 2

"Rings of Power" but only up until the nude scene because that game seriously sucks

Forget that crap, play Mysterious Stones in MAME.

Mysterious Stones eh? Hmm.. never tried that one. Will have to give it a go.

Mystic Defender and Rings of Power were actually two of the carts I pulled out.. I've been on a Genesis kick lately, even using the ol' three-button for nostalgic purposes. Just wish I could find a damn copy of El Viento for a decent price.

he said cheesy-bad. Half of those aren't bad ya big lush.

And if we're listing ones that aren't bad, you didn't list Wardner or Snow Bros

Never played them, and I never recommend games I've never played.

Plus, considering there are people who think Ristar is a horrid game, what's cheesy-bad to someone is up in the air. So I just listed a bunch of the Genesis platformers I could think of off the top of my head.

Welp, I don't really think Valis III is all that bad either, it's just, y'know, got that certain ambience.

Anyhow, I settled on a couple of rounds of Altered Beast for now. Doesn't get much cheesier than that.

edit -- wait a minute. Rings of Power is an RPG... I have that one, but never got anywhere in it due to the weird-as-hell interface. I had it confused with Jewel Master.

Speaking of that: Alien Storm, E-Swat.

I think there's a fun easter egg for Rings of Power - then again, maybe not, considering how fun the game looked when I tried it out a few years ago.

By the way, sorry to see your old avatar go, although I like this new V-Five one too.

Yeah, the 'nude scene' occurs before the title screen even appears.

Goldenaxe 2 for the yay

Does Wii virtual console have NeoGeo? We've got to pass the Neo along to the new generation

However, I appreciate your ruthlessness Cephie. I've just registered - make me a mod

I played this, too -- I had forgotten how epic the music was. You know I'm on a serious Sega binge when I bust out Altered Beast _and_ Golden Axe 2 (let's not even talk about Bonanza Brothers).

I was going to, I promise! -- just that it was of primary importance that I get an immediate reply. As penance, I will make a post about Mondu's Fight Palace, or Final Zone, or something.

Hmmm, I don't know if there is also a devil hunter yohko game for the Super Famicom... There is one for the Pc Engine Cd, it's not a platformer though.

Hehehehe! Glad that you liked it, someday I'll put it back

Magical Taluluto Kun is a fun platformer. Short but great in a silly world.
In a more blasting way of things there are Midnight Resistance and Assault Suit Leynos.
Finally if you want a valis tinted gameplay with a somewhat darker/weirder environment you might try Psycho Dream on the super famicom. It's a Telenet game too.

Magical Hat Fuckstick Daibouken (as it is called in my forum)

Better level design than Decap Attack, and harder, and better looking.

it290 · Post by **it290** » Thu May 08, 2008 2:37 pm

Ah man... I used to play the shit out of Decap Attack as a kid.

Psycho Dream looks interesting. Kinda reminds me of what a Urotsukidoji platformer would look like for some reason.
