Gaming sessions – 14 June 2009
Another short post – finally worked out how to get a few tricks with the C64’s cassette deck working and gave The Great Giana Sisters a go to test it out.

This one’s another brief entry – played a bit of Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker on the Sega Mega Drive. Again, Sega’s programmers made the FM synth on that little black box do some amazing things, and even if the game’s a bit silly, it’s good fun. Will do an expanded write-up on this game in the future methinks.

This will be known as the Sega Saturn/Samurai Shodown 4 edition 🙂
Lotsa screen shots from SS4, note that I’ve paused it almost every time because I was trying to get through the levels as fast as possible to get the special boss endings 🙂 SS4 was the first Samurai Shodown game I invested a fair whack of time in, and aside from the fact that it was a stunning Saturn conversion (of course 😉 ), it proved to be a complex game that demanded a different approach to your typical 2D fighter.
Oh, and Rimururu is tottemo-kawaii as well 😀
Next up is a screen-cap montage from the joygasmic intro from the super-awesome-win Treasure masterpiece, Guradian Heroes. I didn’t play the game, I just felt like watching the intro 😉
Finally we have Sonic 3D on the Saturn showcasing the best part about the game – the special stages. Whilst the Saturn never got a decent Sonic game, Traveler’s Tales’ Sonic 3D was a nice-looking port of the original Mega Drive game with great music and awesome special stages.

This one’s a simple one – I only have screen shots of Sonic 2 on the SMS… and it doesn’t look like I got that far either 😛 I was always crap at that bloody hang glider 😛

First Mega CD post 😀
I know people hate FMV games, but I love the anime LD conversions we saw in PAL territory during the Mega CD era, especially Time Gal. Possibly because I was 12 at the time and thought the girl was pretty hot or something. And I was just starting to get into anime and manga, or as best as you could around 1994/1995 😛 Going back and playing it now makes me thank QTEs in Shenmue, I got a lot further than I had previously 🙂
Next up is Castle of Illusion for the Sega Master System. For those not in the know, the SMS was pretty huge in PAL territories, and we got stacks of great conversions of other Mega Drive games. I didn’t get very far in this playthrough of it, but it was great to jump back in time and give it a whirl. Those Disney platformers were fantastic.
Must have been on an SMS trip that day – there’s the cheated-up Wonderboy III, the first couple of zones of Sonic The Hedgehog, then I swapped sides and fired up the NES for a bit. Played a bit of Super Mario Bros., then some Kung Fu (finished the first run of five floors!!), and then called it a night.
