Always gonna be my favorite Genesis title screen 👌

Kills me that this little canvas print is off-center but I absolutely love it anyways. One of the best puzzle games the Genesis has to offer.

Aladdin and Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure play quite similarly

Both feature timed platforms, ball obstacles that swing into the foreground, horizontal obstacle sections that slowly speed up, giant balls you have to run away from, spikes that disappear then reappear, levels with small platforms over liquid death, vines/ropes you climb up, objects you bounce off of, and the final bosses both can magically pull you closer to them.

Bit of a strange coincidence since these games were made by different developers.

Mario shoes a former friend painted for me ages ago

Used to know someone from the Philippines who made these for me (we drifted apart years ago so for anyone who wants something like this, I have no clue how to reach them.) Only wore these once, I’ll probably put them in a display case or something.

Still fire this one up occasionally

Solid real-time strategy war game. I'm sure it's a much different experience using a headset for the voice controls but it still plays fine with the regular controller. It would also really be something to try it with a friend for 2v2 matches!

Anyone else prefer wiping out an enemy base with a direct attack instead of superweapons?

I get it's not always the best option time/money-wise, but man is it satisfying.

Paulie sucks, but sometimes for like two seconds he really shines.

Rocky 3 - Hops in the ring and attacks Thunderlips to help Rocky when he's getting destroyed.

Rocky 4 - Admits Rocky is basically his hero and encourages him before the big fight with Drago (although his morale boost quickly diminishes when Paulie sees how big and scary Drago is).

Rocky 5 - Chews Tommy out for exploiting and betraying Rocky for his own personal gain.

Honorable mention: Rocky 2 - Offers help when Rocky is struggling financially.

This was an awesome version of the board game!

The cinematic war scenes are very cool, and the old war music is well done. Game plays great and is very faithful to the source material.

My thoughts on this one

It's at least playable once you learn how the combat works and can avoid being ganged up on. However, be prepared for terrible sound and music, mediocre graphics, and uninspired bosses. There's high difficulty spikes, and cheap deaths when you climb mountainsides or outrun bats and avalanches. The insanely tough final level would easily go in my list of Levels From Hell. It's followed up with a final boss you have to trick into spamming his jump attack just to be able to win.

Overall rating: 4/10 (although a 3 might be more fitting)
