Genesis/Megadrive import scene = lame?

[tritium]

Sailor moon is a decent beat-emup. Dragonballz is a good fighter, as well as YuYuhakusho. and always Rockman Megaworld(aka Megaman Wily Wars)

And when you're ready for a multiregion system talk with me. I have a USA/JPN + 60Hz/50Hz modded Genesis 1 for sale right now and will be adding a pair of USA/JPN modded Genesis 2's tonight. Of course, all three have a modification to use standard RCA cables (Ye/Wh/Re) instead of the proprietary Genesis 1 or 2 multi AV cable.

I've already modded my Genesis and bought a handful of cheap Japanese Megadrive games, none of which were too impressive.

I actually came across a handful of pirate Megadrive games at a thrift store a few years back, and Yu Yu Hakusho was among them. It's a pretty decent fighter, but I understand that the legitimate cartridge is rare and expensive. It seems that most of the Megadrive imports that interest me (Snow Bros, Pulseman, Alien Soldier) also happen to be quite expensive.

Why does someone keep on thinking Snake Rattle n Roll is a Japanese MD game...It most certainly is not!!!

Genesis Non-U.S. Game Releases Snake Rattle 'n Roll Sega 4 1993 Europe
Nintendo NES U.S. Game Releases Snake Rattle 'n Roll Nintendo 3

Yep. its a Euro game. I thought it had only come out on NES. Still considered import though to US ppl. (how's the Megadrive play import euro games? Any mod required?)

Depends on if it has lockout or not. Games made before 1992 didn't have that, most after did.

It's on the SFC as well, though - unless they made more than one of these...

The Mega Drive version of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon is a watered down version of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon for the Super Famicom. The ending is a little different but it's basically the same game, just far easier and less detailed. This is not to be confused with the sequel beat 'em up Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon R for the Super Famicom which is based upon the second series of the anime.

And I'm the sort of dude who would confuse those games - we actually might've played that one. I'll have to check it out, but in the meantime thanks for the information

Whichever game it was we played, I'd say it's the sort of game that would automatically get dismissed as crap by any Western gamer, but for fun it wasn't too far off from TNMT 4: Turtles in Time, in my view...

Great games that didnt come out in the US:

Mega man Wily Wars
Zero Wing
Mega SWIV
Alien Soldier
Yuyu hakusho
batteship gomora
Eliminate DOwn
Twinkle Tale
Turbo Outrun (A favorite of mine)

[Ed Oscuro]

Eliminate Down is a great game, same for Twinkle Tale (I keep forgetting the name of that one!); fans of shmups who might like something slower-paced might like Gleylancer as well. It has a weird gun pod setup thing but aside from that the game controls pretty intuitively and is fun.

[Fighter17]

Eliminate Down is worth $150, Twinkle Tale is worth about $60 for gameplay, and GreyLancer, my god the game is too easy for its own good.

I wouldn't even spend $20 on GreyLancer. On my second try I got to the last stage!!! (WTF).
