Monster World was far superior on the Mega Drive.

What you're probably thinking of was Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap.

Nope. Definitely that game. I loved it best on Master System. It was where i initially played it and i didn't like it being different at all (ie. graphics or even the HUD)

Anyone remember Baku Baku Animal on the Saturn?

And does anyone remember an old Neogeo game called Waku Waku 7? That game was awesome

BOOMY · Post by **BOOMY** » 05 Oct 2006 12:04 am

Pretty sure, Waku Waku 7 made it to saturn in japan. Another good ol' neogeo fighter is Matrimelee

Yeah I believe Waku Waku 7 did get a Saturn release. Super game! Matrimelee is ok as well. Feels like Waku Waku craziness with a bit of Rage of the Dragons gameplay, only a tad more refined.

Also though it would never happen, a version of Fire Pro Wrestling would rawk so hard on Arcade.

Skitchin' and Road Rash 2 would make me very happy.

why EA, of all people, did not make a sequel to Skitchin' is beyond me

Cletus · Post by **Cletus** » 06 Oct 2006 07:30 pm

I have an idea and it's got to do with me running from cops after they saw me skitchin' a tram in Flinders St.

Highest real life skitch speed was 130 kph on the rear bumper of a Hyundai...frightening.

bike couriers do it all the time though!

Here in SA, there's a law against bike riders slipstreaming vehicles - you can't be closer than 2m to the vehicle in front of you for a longer distance than 200m.
The reality of the situation though, is that we do it as often as possible, for as long as possible

Mat Mania/Exciting Hour
Space Harrier
Wizball
Nebulus
Cybernoid
Marble Madness
Sentinel

* More to be added as I think of them.

Never did play Skitchen' figured it was just a rip off of Road Rash so kept hiring that instead. Now I feel like I missed something.

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 07 Oct 2006 07:26 am

I still remember typing in B, A Down, A, Start, Start in on the warning screen to access the cheats

Also jumping through the Billboards to warp to other levels.

Was Chunky Placenta the band or the song?

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 07 Oct 2006 08:18 am

Spicy Placenta was the song

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 07 Oct 2006 08:26 am

ahhh spicy not chunky. So long since I played it last. That game had an awesome soundtrack. It really fitted the early 90's grunge scene.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 07 Oct 2006 08:45 am

Totally agree... and even though the sound processing on the MD was pretty crap, it still managed to capture the 'tude perfectly.

PS We need more games with cattle prods!

unfnknblvbl · Post by **unfnknblvbl** » 07 Oct 2006 12:16 pm

I remember thinking that Road Rash 3's 'realistic' angle on graphics was a total mistake... but that Cattle Prod nearly made up for it

Candy Arse · Post by **Candy Arse** » 07 Oct 2006 01:01 pm

I think with RR3 they tried too hard to make it look like the 3DO version. No chance.

Twiztid Elf · Post by **Twiztid Elf** » 07 Oct 2006 05:35 pm

R-Type, R-Type2, R-Type Leo, R-Type Delta.
Einhander
Strider
Alien Syndrome (OMG multi player co-op online of this would rock).

You certainly missed something.

I so loved that game. When I was in my teens I had the C64 version, although it was a hacked one so after I finished the 4th or 5th boss the game crashed because it didnt know to ask for the second disc or something. I know I tried a few times then gave up.

Twiztid Elf · Post by **Twiztid Elf** » 08 Oct 2006 08:05 am

I think we had the same pirate version t0mby.

I missed craploads of great games during the 16-bit era, as I was a pirate who had 100's of great unplayed games. I did play a lot of most of the big ones though: Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Sonic, etc.
BUT, the one that sticks out in my head as one that I missed and that everyone was raving about and I didn't even play once was GUNSTAR HEROES.

Actually, I might go hit up an emulator now and see what the fuss was all about.
