zmbdog Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) I've seen people bring up Devil's Crush for TG-16 every now and then, but they never mention it's on Genesis as Dragon's Fury. ?

The Genesis port is very very good, but it’s not quite as good. It’s a game everybody who likes pinball should play one way or another. Now, the unauthorized sequel Dragon’s Revenge is very janky by comparison, but it is a LAFF RIOT. They really took the subtle innuendo into full on cringe-inducing accidental and intentional blatant sex metaphor. And little things like the ant-men who look like an army of occult Dr Zoidbergs makes for a hilarious experience if you are in the right mindset. It’s not great, but it’s certainly memorable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete copy will easily go in the 40000~50000 yen range. I picked up a cart-only copy for 3000 yen not long ago, but the label is mostly torn off. Not sure if Socket is rare, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkthrough - YouTube It’s not rare - it’s extremely common and still can be found NIB for cheap - but nobody but me talks about it: Zyrinx’s other Genesis game Sub Terrania is one of my all time favorite Genesis games. Gravitar for the 1990s. Socket isn’t very rare but the manual is. I have been trying to find one for years at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize how uncommon it was for me to see games where you use a boat to shoot at others, as opposed to a car or plane. I love Bimini Run! Note that, although it resembles a racer with shooting, it's not "on rails" - the environments are actually in a 3D space and you can turn around and navigate from island to island. The game stays mostly tech-focused in the first several levels and then takes a hard turn into mythic/fantasy territory at the end. Bonus points for very stylish box art and title screen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Wow, I didn't know emojis could be italicized. Why can they though? Hell yeah I'll bring it up, I did enough here and elsewhere when I finally dropped the curtain on PCE ownership outside of the mini, I loved that screwball dark pinball game. I remembered instantly it got a dumb name in the US on the Genesis, and in a rarer case violated my buy games for Genesis local policy and snapped up a copy of that to have back in my hands so I can keep enjoying it. Dragon's Fury (Devil's Crush) is great on there. I knew of the sequel, never have got around to it, but as long as the ball physics aren't any more loose and weird than devils crush (or alien crush) I know I'd enjoy it so I keep an eye out for it. There are a few instances of TG games that got releases slid out under other names usually on Sega Genesis, I've tried to snap them up when and where I can. Valis III, Wonderboy in Monster World, Ys III and Dragon's Fury. There are more, wonderboy line for one, so I keep my eyes open.

Loose copies don't seem to go for too much. Not sure how much interest people would go for a game decidedly based on Sonic though, as those seem to polarize audiences for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jeremiahjt Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Would all of the early Amiga ports be considered obscure? I would think maybe Shadow of the Beast would be the least obscure, but I think it is a safe bet that most of them are pretty obscure today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of the Amiga-to-Genesis games are, except for ones like the first Lemmings. Edited April 23, 2022 by electricmastro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developers consisted of people who had been active in the Amiga demo scene in the late 1980/early 1990s, including Jesper Kyd, who did the fantastic music for Freedom Fighters, PS2/Xbox. The group was responsible for producing the popular The Silents/Crionics demo "Hardwired". Edited May 12, 2022 by Lostdragon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
