The Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Thread

If you like your RPG's then get buck Rogers. It's a bit different from the like of phantasy star, but equally if not more enjoyable. Graphically awful and sonically mediocre, but massively playable.

Mega lo mania is another great title..

Well said that man.

Couple of others i really liked  on Megadrive:

Corporation (Core) and Predator 2.

Battletech got a snip of a look in SEGA Magazine Issue 3:

'Battletech:it's utterly Brilliant' they say Absolute Entertainment did'nt have a licensce to produce Sega games in Europe.

Sega magazine felt Battletech was better than Desert Strike due to:clearer strategic gameplay, larger range of weapons and abilty to stomp on smaller robots'

On different note:

I really enjoyed MD Ex-Mutants. Not a looker but had me hooked.

I just came across this, an Amiga/ST style demo for the Mega Drive:

Floating Mega Drive. Then a massive visual headache. Finally, a cool demo!

I have also heard good things about Buck Rogers.

Thoughts on TMNT The Hyperstone Heist?

I have it, excellent game but its going for very high prices these days for such a common game. I was lucky as I managed to snag one CIB on a BIN for £20! I have seen it go for £50 boxed! 

It's not as good as Turtles In Time on the SNES though.

[nakamura]

Ah I wondered how it compared to Turtles in Time. I will give it a go though.

I bought a copy a few years ago and it seemed to be holding its value then. Big TMNT fan so any game with them is good.

I like Tyrants: Fight Through Time as an early and good real-time strategy game. I wrote a review of this game and Rambo III for the Genesis for Sega16.com a few years back. Also wrote reviews for Space Harrier and Doom for the 32x.

Rambo III is a great game, I must review that myself.

An early article on the Mega Drive from UK magazine The One that I just came across:

[davyk]

The first model is so much nicer looking. I've both models - the model 2 is unmodded so doesn't get any use really.

The Micro Machines games are the business on Megadrive.

Look what I just found:  Unreleased Mega Drive Prototype of 'Putty Squad' On eBay.  Looks like it already sold for £815.17.  Anyone heard of this game before?

It actually came out in Europe for the Super Nintendo, but apparently, nobody played it, because it's still pretty hard to find around, ah, my usual places. It was... all right, from what I played of it, I suppose. Basically felt like the original Putty if the levels scrolled in every direction, instead of just up. And it still has that fucking cat I hate that fucking cat so much.

I can't imagine that the Genesis/MD version could be that much different, really. Hopefully we see the prototype, anyway, just for completion's sake.
