Virgin Interactive's classic Disney video games have just been surprise-launched on Steam.
The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star
Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.
I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point
YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.
but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)
I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2
Here's my pick for still holding up and fun
- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3
Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.
-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world
those are the ones that come to mind ha.
Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's
With Aladdin now in theaters, Electric Bento looks back at the battle between the Sega Genesis and the SNES as to who had the better version of Disney's Aladdin game.
I might be mistaken, but I think the Gensis version used actual disney artists to help create the visuals.
The article literally states that the gen version "was in part handled by Disney’s animation studio"...
I played both honestly can’t remember which I liked better because I was like 7 at the time and life was just about playing not about which was better
i thought its been long settled the gen version is superior.
one of the few times that was the case but still.
Graphically, Genesis won. But the simplicity of gameplay, music, and atmosphere made me vote for SNES.
If you are a child of the ’90s, you undoubtedly have fond memories of plopping yourself in front of a crummy CRT TV and playing one of Disney’s classic 16-bit animated film tie-ins. Get ready to do that on a modern PC.
Disney should do a 16bit compilation disc featuring all their titles for $30
* Had all of these for Sega Genesis....All of them were really good but Aladdin is one of the best 2D platformers of all time.
The animations they had Disney help them so they are as good as you can get on a Genesis.
Good to see that the Aladdin game is the Genesis version, which was much better than the SNES one. Maybe I'll buy it in the next days.
Have these games on Genesis. They're great.
