Reaperman Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm finally drinking the Everdrive koolaid, and have one arriving a couple days from now. What are some good oddball games/hacks/translations that I will want to try out? Musha isn't such an oddball, but I'm looking forward to finally playing it. if I recall the japanese got some kind of naughty shooter that I can't remember the name of. Anybody got any more ideas?

Rex Dart Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 These are pretty well-known games, but the I haven't seen the gameplay of Ristar, Ranger X, or Pulseman duplicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Not to side track, but what was up with Ristar??? Lets make the game look like Sonic 2 in hard/pastel/whatever colors and give it a ridonkulous gameplay mechanic. Never could get into it and was rotted when it turned out to be one of the secret games on Sonic Collection for GCN. Of course its there cause its so much like sonic, but.... man it sucks....

Rex Dart Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It's based off one of the original ideas for Sonic, where he was going to be a rabbit named "Feel" who'd grab enemies with his ears. I was disappointed with it at first too (back in the 90s), but it's pretty good if you give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I got some weird ones for ya. Panorama Cotton Simpsons Virtual Bart Skitchin' Quackshot Ren & Stimpy The Haunting starring Polterguy Outlander (not really weird but a great Mad Max style game) and if you can ever get Shui Hu Feng Yun Zhuan working on your Everdrive please let me know, I have a version of it but it always crashes after ten seconds of playing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Here are some suggestions. Some of these games aren't that weird, but they're very distinctive and generally quite good: El Viento (and the sequel Earnest Evans, though many people don't like it) Gain Ground Granada Jewel Master Osomatsu-Kun: Hachamecha Gekijou (not sure if this is good, but it's certainly strange) The Smurfs (PAL game with lockout, requires a region hack -- write 0x6604 to the address 0x7AABA with a hex editor) Sol-Deace Trampoline Terror 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Is this the naughty shooter you're thinking of? It's for PC Engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cho_Aniki If you want a Genesis shooter with babes, there's "Trouble Shooter". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Just thought of some more. Star Control Ball Jacks The Ooze Todd’s Adventures in Slime World (something any Lynx fans should already know) Chavez 2 (Genesis equivalent to Punch Out) Desert Demolition starring Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote Zoom! Divine Sealing (warning, it's a hentai game ... ummm from what my Sega friends tell me, yeah, that's it) Junction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Risky Woods - platformer somewhat reminiscent of Ghouls 'n Ghosts Dragon's Revenge & Dragon's Fury - pinball; the later is a port of Devil's Crush from the TG-16 Sub Terrania - think a far more forgiving Solar Jetman with nice visuals Devilish - a heavy modification to the breakout formula. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If you like Qix, the best version of the game is on Genesis, Ultimate Qix. You've never seen Qix like this before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You've never seen Qix like this before. I agree, at least normal Qix lasts more than ten seconds. Seriously, how do you survive that game?? I love classic Qix and would love to play this version but I die very very quickly. Got any tips?

Reaperman Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I almost forgot Zero Wing. For great justice. Divine Sealing (warning, it's a hentai game ... ummm from what my Sega friends tell me, yeah, that's it) That's it--the shooter I was thinking of. I'm a sucker for dirty gaming. speaking of which, I'll probably grab some mahjong games too. looks like there's "Dial Q wo Mawase" and "16 Tile Mahjong." I'm totally greedy--which is obviously the only reason I would play video mahjong. Raging addiction to money--yep.

+frankodragon Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 A couple weird games I can think of : Death Duel The Haunting Storm Lord (European version isn't censored) Boogerman Beavis and Butthead Wings of Wor MJ's Moonwalker Pac-Man 2 Decapattack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Some good ones listed so far. I'm also going to try these imports: Cannon Fodder Alien Soldier Bloodshot worms anybody know of any good fan translations of jp games?

Rex Dart Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Monster World IV, Battle Mania Daiginjou, and Pulseman all have great translations. Check out romhacking.net's translation section. Some good ones listed so far. Definitely. Lots of good replies so far. Edited May 23, 2012 by Rex Dart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Wiz n' Liz is a fun one; I would like to second the suggestions of Star Control, General Chaos and, of course DecapAttack!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh, another pinball one--Psycho Pinball. Not sure if it was just in the UK or if it was just an Australia release (that seems to be where all the copies are on eBay), but it's a very solid pinball game on the Genesis. Easily the best if you are looking for that Pinball Fantasies style of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I just noticed this genesis repro thread in the marketplace. How did I miss it before? It gives some good ideas for hacks and translations: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/195395-mrmark-and-beaglepusss-genesis-reproductions-and-requests-thread/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 For weird I like Zoom, it didn't hold my interest back in the day but now I love it Yeah, all the japan-only shooters are great and a little oddball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
