Jasoco Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I just picked this up today for $1.99 after reading a small "review" on a web site. I saw he screenshot and remembered actually seeing commercials for this back in the 90's. The review said it was good so I went to the store with my list in hand and saw it there in the bin. I brought it home and it's a really cool unique game! Though, I find it a little tough. Maybe I haven't mastered it yet, but it's really cool. I wasn't even expecting them to have it but there it was. The guy wasn't sure what it was and I told him about it. It must have been really obscure. It makes a great addition to my small but humble collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Never heard of this game, so thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that one. Always looking to find unknown games to me which are fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 My friend has it down to a science, and can beat it almost every time. Cool game, no doubt about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I had a free version that came with my HP computer my Jr. year of college, and haven't seen it since. Was fun as hell to play though. It also came with Ecco the Dolphin, but it crashed constantly. HP told me that was because they shipped a bad version and were going to send me a new one to replace it but I don't think they ever did.

snorlaxnut Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I got it on the CD-Rom "Sega Smash Pack 2". For me, its a very short game, but its fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Comix Zone is a great, great, entertaining adventure/beatem-up for Genesis! It's got some of the best Genesis visuals and freshest presentation I've seen. Great music too, I really dig those tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 Just one thing to remember, though. Apparently, Comix Zone doesn't work at all with the 6-button controller. Not even with the Mode button pressed at startup. It freaked me out because I thought I had killed my game already. But it worked fine with the 3-button controller. Which is why I have one of each.

Vic George 2K3 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 One thing I like about this game is the Elvis-like riff on the "singing Sega" logo intro. Ranks right along with the nerdy voice saying "Virgin" at the company's corporate logo intro to Global Gladiators(?) for Genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Kat Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Comix Zone is an awsome game. The first time I played it was on the Sega Channel. I got a used copy when the local Video Update went under(too bad seeing as they had a huge anime section and still rented NES games in 1998). Just one thing to remember, though. Apparently, Comix Zone doesn't work at all with the 6-button controller. Not even with the Mode button pressed at startup. It freaked me out because I thought I had killed my game already. But it worked fine with the 3-button controller. Which is why I have one of each. huh? I never play comix zone with my three button controllers. I'm pretty sure the second set of buttons is used for selecting the weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the standard Sonic "Se-ga.." to the Elvis singing, I don't remember the SNES having nearly as many cool openings. Sure, Zelda had that 3D rotating Triforce, but what else did they have?

Actually, the Game Stop I go to used to be a Video Update. huh? I never play comix zone with my three button controllers. I'm pretty sure the second set of buttons is used for selecting the weapon. All I know is it wouldn't even give me the copyright when I tried to start it with the 6-button controller. And I tried everything before switching them.

Mr.FoodMonster Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 this was one of the about 10 games i had with my genny before i stupidly sold it at funcoland. its a great game and always had a blast playing it. i only beat it once though. i also got it on my emulator because i loved it so. and i also used my 6 button and the extra buttons were used for selecting the items i remember that indefinitly. if i ever decide to go pick up another genny this is my first game im getting, besides all the sonic games hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 Maybe it was a fluke. Hopefully it was. I haven't gotten much use from my 6-button controller yet and I'd like to. I'll try it again later. Hopefully it was a one time thing. All I know is it refused to run with my Sega branded 6-buttoner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
