jimid2 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 My son and I were out retro game shopping yesterday and we came across a copy of Todd's Adventures in Slime World as a Sega Genesis cart. Now I knew Epyx had done California Games for the Genesis but had no idea that this existed. Needless to say we picked it up, but we haven't had a chance to play it yet (we bought about a dozen games, and spent most of yesterday evening with Aero Blasters on the TG16). Has anyone else tried this? Is it a direct port or is it a reworking for the Genni? Here's a pic I swiped off E(vil)bay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory DG Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I remember when it came out. I thought this was Todd's big chance to shine, but the mag reviews weren't that great. I've played it (in emulation) and it's not as smooth as the Lynx game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I thought it was a pretty cool game along the line of Metroid if i remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I had this one a few years back and sold it. I don't remember much about how it compared, I just remember that I liked the Lynx version better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 It's pretty similar to the Lynx version, though I prefer the Lynx's soundtrack by a long shot. The big difference here is that the one screen on the Genesis version displays the same in-game-space as four screens of the Lynx version. The Genesis version has some nicer graphics in some spots, like the parallax scrolling as Todd traverses the planet's surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenLynxer Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Todd's Adventures in Slime World was also released for the PC Engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip_Cannon Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) It's a reworking. Is that your way of saying it was a train wreck? Edited July 24, 2007 by Trip_Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sprite Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Maybe. The Genesis/Megadrive version features smaller sprites, and when slime falls on your character, it instantly disappears. Also, the levels no longer pulsate, and over 50% of the screen is green. But it is playable, if you're hellbent on fun with it...

Wow, I never knew that but looks like you're right: http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/2975/sl...ldjfrontyg9.jpg http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/3820/sl...rldjbackeq5.jpg I guess they've broadened the cast this time around.

A Sprite Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 PC Engine Slime World Review. Translated, it says.. the play is frankly super-ugly The sprites are very small, the setting colors of bad taste and, one will never repeat it enough, the special effects really miss. one will not have to be allergic to the color green-snot... And still, it is nothing compared to the scenes of combat, never miserly in monster kitsch, and which straightforwardly allow the luxury of slow down AND flicker! ... In short, horror. avoid quietly. They prefer the Lynx version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderbutt Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 its fun playing the Gen version online tho I remember a friend and myself renting this piece of junk from Blockbuster and feeling gypped. The awful green colour was very garish and quite depressing looking. The black/blue of the Lynx and PC EngineCD version was much better for drama and looks.
