The original Sonic design had shark teeth, and a big boobed blonde human girlfriend. Sega of America made the changes to the final design.

Genesis Jurassic Park was made by developers who didn't know how to make a functional game...

I think I still have magazine with the article that talks about the development, even then it was clear it was them taking all these ideas, digitized actors and dinosaur models, survival mechanics, etc. putting them together with gum and baling wire and jamming it in a cartridge like a suppository the size of a grapefruit.

The second game was pretty much "gently caress it, lets recycle the graphics and make it an action game", probably why they subtitled it Rampage Edition.

the first 3 cartoon series were licensed by DiC entertainment and were western animation

Not sure who was licensing out Sonic for cartoons at the time, but the DiC cartoons coincide with Naka and Sonic Team being based out of STI/Sega of America.

cartoon 1 which was cartoony and fun and extreme and reminded us not to hop in dryers

cartoon 2 was cool and dark and was the basis for the comic and was in the real heyday and was good

cartoon 3 (underground) was in the period where the series was in limbo and they just kind of hosed around and it went nowhere like Sega of america did with sonic in the late 90s

after that Sonic was basically put squarely back in control of sega of japan Sonic Team which is who put together sonic adventure, redesigned sonic for 3d, and comissioned sonic x which was done by japanese anime studios and was roughly the plot of the 2 sonic adventure games with some anime kid

meanwhile the comics mostly followed cartoon 2 and eventually sonic x before it collapsed into a giant mess

theres some comic panel out there which is supposed to reconcile how theres an entire human city (station square from sa1) on Sonic Comic's Planet Mobius which had like no humans on it and was run by anthromorphs

let's quote from his wikipedia page


quote:

In December 2011, Penders announced plans to utilize Echidna characters he created for the Archie comics in a graphic novel series entitled The Lara-Su Chronicles.[4] Said series is planned to feature Lara-Su, one of his original characters created during his work at Archie, as its protagonist. On March 5, 2014, Penders announced on his Twitter account that his characters were no longer echidna but Echyd'nya, an alien species.[5]

There's also a THIRD distinct Shadowrun game on Sega CD, but it only game out in Japan. It's a visual novel type game like Snatcher so not really as open and cool as the regular Genesis game. There's a ton of text in it, I still don't think any translations are finished.

Kid chameleon still holds up. This was another game I beat after finding my genesis almost a decade ago. I had to use the secret warp on the second stage (thanks gamefaqs!), because it is otherwise loving impossible without a game genie. The floating board helmet and the hurricane helmet were so loving rad.

E. Also, the soundtrack loving rocks.

I got to play Crusader of centy at a friend's a couple of times and I wish I had played more.



I found out my folks did not sell any of my old snes junk, so I still have a complete copy of Hagane and Robotrek. If only I'd been older and with more money on my wallet, I would've swept clean all those closing down video rental stores offloading pre-N64 gems like Crusader of centy, gunstar heroes and rolling thunder. There were heaps of "cheap" NES games complete in their boxes too, I nearly ended up with a copy of mega man 5. That poo poo is crazy expensive today.

2 and three, I think one was adapted from an arcade game.

You beat a mechanical dragon in 2 and three starts off where that ended and you got cursed.

The Ninja and Psycho fox were probably the coolest master system games I had. They cost 5 dollars per cart and I had alot of games.

I think the only card style one I had was this weird vampire one that horrific sounds

Weirdly I sold all my Nintendo carts to some guy on Craigslist. All except Battletoads which fell in between the seats of my car. When I got home after driving for like 40 minutes to meet him I get a text and he is like

“where is battletoads?”

I just texted him back and was like “haven’t you heard? Battletoads is the hardest game.”

Then I went inside and got a cold beer.

Revenge of Shinobi had the junkyard boss where you fought "Arnold" who started to turn green as he got damaged then turned into the Terminator. And as someone else noted, 2 versions, one with spiderman/batman and another with spiderman/bat demon-ish but not batman guy. I think they changed the godzilla boss too.
