jet grind/set radio for DC is maybe my favorite game of all time. but compared to the typical SA poster that might not be saying much - i prob beat it like twice? i know there's perverts on here with like 80,000 hours on getting over it with bennett foddy or something i should find that effortpost thread in games and do one on JSR. The soundtrack is great but the whole package is like it had to all come into existence together - you couldn't have such a good OST without the setting, character design and gameplay concepts fitting in with it.

I have vague memories of playing Alex the Kid on a mastersystem down at the local mall when I was a kid. He wore a boxing glove, ate burgers and played rock paper scissors with a pirate after each level. Occasionally a floating walrus head would turn up and insta-kill him.

being able to plug the Sonic 2 and 3 cartridges into the Sonic and Knuckles cartride then start those games with Knuckles was cool as hell

Buddy had a master system, and he got 3 pack ins, vs my 2 on nes. Both had a light gun game. Cool that Sega didn't try and copy Mario, but instead packed in hang on. There was also a maze game in the system hardware! No cartridge needed.

The only Sega console I ever owned was Game Gear, and all I remember about it is taking turns playing Sonic during road trips with my brother. X-Men on my cousin's Genesis was cool too.

i think dragon crystal on the game gear as a child was my first interaction with a roguelike, warping me into a roguelike-liker had to play that while the game gear was plugged in charging though, way too long otherwise

How have I not seen this before, amazing. I never had a Sega console, but a neighbour had a Mega Drive. He had a Japanese cart of Bare Knuckle II (SoR 2) and NHL '93 that we played almost daily for years. I still think the latter is the best party hockey game ever, at least until people figure out the cheap goal tactic and have to be made to agree not to use it.

 I love the 90s sort of Lisa frank meets nature company space dolphins aesthetic. It almost but not quite made me want to see the new avatar water movie. The ending ruled too. I’m also upset we never got a proper third game that continued with Ecco being a jerk and messing around with time.

My uncle had NES, Super NES, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, PlayStation, and PS2. I had the Game Boy brick and Game Boy Color.  It wasn't until I was well into adulthood that I realized how utterly spoiled my uncle was.

JET SET RADIOOOOOOOO!!!!! My favorite part was in the late stages where you have to go through the many districts and find out they are all connected in game. At first I thought they were just separate sections but then when the rooftop section was connected to the quarry section and was connected to the sewers, that blew my mind. Second favorite part was using spraypaint to destroy helicopters.

When I think of Sega Genesis the first games I think of are the two Jurassic Park games. There were SNES versions that were completely different, and I feel like the Sega ones just flew under the radar. In both, you could play as either Grant and get an arsenal of weapons and gadgets, or a Raptor and kill dudes with lots of melee attacks. They were both side scrolling platformers but each of the levels had different gimmicks. It also has the T Rex yell SEGAAAAA when you boot it up. The first game had some early survival horror vibes. Grant was mostly armed with tranquilizers, so the dinosaurs you knocked out would get back up and attack again after a bit. Raptors would even chase you from room to room, kick down doors and jump up ledges. The T Rex bursts through the wall in some levels and you have to puzzle out how to get past him without being eaten. There was a boat level where you have to drive a dingy downstream while stopping to collect fuel, and trying not to crash over waterfalls. The second game, Rampage Edition, is the Resident Evil 4 of the series. Just a full action sequel ramping up everything from the previous game. Grant is strapped with machine guns and flamethrowers and fighting helicopters and armies of guys on top of rampaging dinosaurs. The Raptor fights his own evil clone or something in a sinking cargo ship. I was a Jurassic Park kid in the 90s so having both of these games was awesome. I played them over and over and over. I think the SNES ones sucked rear end. The soundtrack was great too.

I would agree that first SNES one sucked (it was overhead perspective but switched to a FPV whenever you went into a building, and also was very confusing with no indications about where you were supposed to be going), but the second one was great. THE CHAOS CONTINUED by going back to classic platforming with co-op play so you could shoot dinos/bad guys with a friend.

copy posted:i think there was one called like Sparkster or something (maybe for snes?) and also a pc one got made a few years back https://store.steampowered.com/app/19030/Rocket_Knight/ Heck yeah, the boss music (and the whole soundtrack, really) is great! I rented the game as a kid, and for the longest time that boss music would pop into my head as the quintessential "video game boos music", without really remembering where it came from. It just starts with this feeling of dread and builds into this hectic weirdness that fits the Rocket Knight bosses so perfectly. When I finally bought the game to replay as an adult, hearing and recognizing the song again added this whole surreal feeling to it. As for sequels, there have been a few. There was Sparkster on the Genesis, which ended up as a kind of middling platformer. Competent, but not extraordinary. Then there was Sparkster on the SNES (different game completely), which kept up the feel of the original pretty well. But about halfway through the last stage it introduces a boss fight that's pretty much unplayable. That, alongside the last boss who would spam whatever combination of screen-filling attacks he pleased, kind of left a sour taste. And the new-ish one kinda takes a while to get up to speed, and falls a bit short of what made the first one so awesome. So yeah, there've been sequels, but they haven't really figured out how to make 'em work.

maybe it's just me but genesis games always felt harder than SNES, like they held on hard to their arcade heritage i played the absolute poo poo out of road rash 2, most of the Sonics, Vector Man and both Jurassic Park games at a neighbor's house, like almost daily, but i never felt the games were really 'beatable' the way the games i was playing on snes at the time were
