What Genesis game are you playing right now?

[MagitekAngel]

I am playing Lightening Force and I. Am. Sucking.

[Rex Dart]

I still wanna slap whatever tard decided to name it Lightening Force rather than Lightning Force.

Maybe they planned to make a spinoff called Darkening force also.

[Rex Dart]

Or "Color-Safe Bleach Force"

I got Air Buster in the mail yesterday and played it a bit after work.

I played it a lot while I was going through my Everdrive phase and decided I needed to have it again.

Problem one of my top 5 shooters on the Genesis.

Was playing Gunstar Heroes the other day, and then popped in Pirates Gold (finally got it off eBay) and played it a tiny bit, just to make sure it worked. Haven't had time to sit down with it yet, I'll probably end up playing Road Rash 1 or 2 instead.

LHX Attack Chopper

I liked that game a lot, we used to have the demo back when we got our first PC (so around 97). Haven't played it since then, I wouldn't mind getting back into it.

 

Core made a game kind of like it (I forget the name, at the moment) for the Sega CD...it's not quite as much fun, it's a lot more arcadey and "blow everything up", but still kind of neat.

Marvel Land, this one's pretty much like a punch to the nuts in difficulty, but still I play and love it.

[Reaperman]

I dumped a couple hours into fire shark last night. It's a great game right up until the first time you die.

Without that punishment, it would be way too easy, though.

Divine Sealing. I started making a simulated CGA Text mode version but decided I have better things to do.

How is DS? I've heard it's terrible and best left as a collectable..

I can think of better ways to spend a half our inside a vagina.

Just took out NHL 96 tonight and am getting ready for my 32x which will be on it's way to me soon! Then I will be playing some Star Wars Arcade. Until then, it will be more NHL and some Desert/Jungle Strike.

I just started playing through Ys III last week. Hope to have it finished in a couple weeks.

I grew up with the SNES version, but after comparing them all, I think the Genesis version might be my favorite.

I haven't played the game since I beat it many years ago (I got the game on release day). I don't quite remember having to grind so much, but at least it's not as bad as Phantasy Star 2.

[Asaki]

I clearly remember the amount of grinding we had to do >_<

 

We ended up bringing it over to my house and setting Y on turbo (I think), going into that first cave and just leaving Adol to kill bats for a half-hour or so.

 

I think we tried just taping down the button before that, since attacking was already turbo anyway. Too bad that strategy didn't work too well later in the game, we ended up having to do the rest of our grinding all legit-like.

 

I wouldn't doubt it if we used a little bit of Game Genie, either.

[goldenegg]

Ys ended up frustrating me to no end tonight, so on came the Game Genie I have absolutely no idea how I ever beat this game as a kid. I'm 100% sure I did, without any cheats.

[GideonsDad]

Beauty and the Beast - Belle's Quest & Streets of Rage.

[+thegoldenband]

I played Streets of Rage tonight as well. My girlfriend and I played co-op on Hard difficulty, and got to the last level before running out of continues. We were very rusty, though, so maybe we'll try again soon and have better luck.

 

I also played Battle Squadron for about 20 minutes, but didn't get very far. Tough game.

[genesisguy]

Ghosts and Goblins. Made it about half way through Stage 2. Dang this one is hard.

[Reaperman]

Langrisser 2. It's quite a nice strategy game--I like that the generals have units attached to them. The levels take SO LONG to complete, though. Mostly because all of these units have to actually move. I've just gotten to the 4th stage and it feels like I've run a marathon.

 

Does genesis have any isometric turn-based strategy games? That angle helps a couple SNES games feel considerably more modern.

[Crazy Climber]

Still rocking Fireshark. The music has been stuck in my head for days now

[BillyHW]

Snow Brothers. We were playing this in the MAME HSC, and I decided to try out some of the home ports. The Genesis version is pretty much arcade-perfect. Excellent game, highly recommended.
