- | ===== Buying ===== | + | Started as more of a wishlist of games I want to write notes about, but I'm starting to put actual notes in here now. I've definitely messed with the MD library on emulators, but ages ago. Leaving out obvious shit like < |
- | * [[https:// | + | I've recently (2/2025) got a [[sega_mega_drive|Mega Drive]] and [[mega_everdrive_pro|flash cart]], and am having a good time playing bits of lots of games. |
- | * [[https:// | + | |
- | * [[https:// | + | |
- | * I want the best audio chip. | + | Key: Title, Format (for CD, 32X…), Other systems ↲ Note ↲ Note2 |
- | * I want 60Hz. | + | |
- | * I want the best compatibility, but this is almost universal. | + | |
- | * I prefer the original design to the Mega Drive 2. | + | |
- | * I don't want to have to mod shit. | + | |
- | * Step-down aren't needed, can just buy AU AC adaptor. | + | |
- | * Not super fussed about video quality. All support RGB, some models I don't want anyway have jailbars. | + | |
- | The basic, foolproof, guide is: If you're buying | + | ^ //Aero Blasters// | | | |
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Altered Beast// | | | | ||
+ | | I think I used to poo poo this game, but it rules. Big gross muscle guys that get bigger and bigger. Mega adolescent boy power fantasy. Feels like a game from a dream. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Android Assault: | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Atomic Runner// | | Arcade, X68k | | ||
+ | | More intrigued by the arcade version, doesn't feel as dreamy, but would like to try this. Sucker for a guy who somersaults when jumping. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Battle Mania Daiginjō// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ // | ||
+ | | Big soundtrack ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Bio-ship Paladin// | | | | ||
+ | | Control | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Blades of Vengeance// | | | | ||
+ | | [[commodore_amiga|Amiga]]yeuroshit sign me up. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Burning Force// | | | | ||
+ | | Railshooter ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Crusader of Centy// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Elemental Master// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Eliminate Down// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Fire Shark// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Gaiares// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Gain Ground// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ // | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Granada// | | | | ||
+ | | Shooter where you're a little tank. Top-down, good movement options. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Grind Stormer// | | | | ||
+ | | Amazing graphics, colour design ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Kolibri// | 32X | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Lord of Thunder// | CD | | | ||
+ | | I'd rather it use the sound chip than have CD audio. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ // | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Night Striker// | CD | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Omega Blast// | | | | ||
+ | | //[[Star Soldier]]// | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Panorama Cotton// | | | | ||
+ | | This is so good. Gorgeous, always trying something new. Feels like it's really pushing the Mega Drive to its limits. One of my fave [[railshooter|rail shooters]]. Kinda loses some of the magic if you play on an emulator. Deffo a top ten game on the MD. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Ranger X// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //The Revenge of Shinobi// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Ristar// | | | | ||
+ | | Where did I first play this? I think I unlocked | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Shadow Dancer// | | | | ||
+ | | Second Shinobi MD game ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Slap Fight// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Soul Star// | CD | | | ||
+ | | Gorgeous rail shooter | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Space Invaders | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ // | ||
+ | | Works with the XE1AP ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Star Cruiser// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Street Fighter II// | | | | ||
+ | | both ones. There seems to be a bunch of patches to fix issues. They felt a bit dinky when I tried them before, but would like to revisit. ||| | ||
+ | | Yeah, I think I'm too used to the SNES version, this feels off to me. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Streets of Rage 2// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Streets of Rage 3// | | | | ||
+ | | Fuck this rules so hard. My favourite of the three, just because of all the different moves. My memory of playing through the first SOR way back best matches this one. Music is so good. ||| | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ // | ||
+ | | Really cool gravity/ | ||
+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //Thunder Force II// | | | | ||
+ | | ||| | ||

+ | | ||| | ||
+ | ^ //[[Zero Tolerance]]// | ||
+ | | Oh yeah, I remember getting into this when I was playing the MD ROMset. Going off an old comment: Stylish Doom clone where you control members of a team, each has different abilities. You can jump, and there' | ||
