SNES vs. Genesis: A Battle for the Ages! [Part 1 is over, platformers coming up next]

[Great Rumbler]

But it's Genesis game, not a SNES game. Of course it can't look that good, the Genesis can't do 256 color graphics, etc! You can't act like platform doesn't matter. For a Genesis game it looks and sounds very, very good. I mean, you're right that the SNES ones look better, but you really should take platform into account too!

If I showed someone all three games, they'd probably pick the Super Turrican games as the better looking of the three. That's just how it is. This is a comparison of the two systems and their games.

So you bought Mega Turrican on VC several years ago, but didn't play it or something?

I'm pretty sure I played it, but I can't remember a thing about it from back then.

Hmm, intresting... never played this one, but it sounds potentially good. Maybe I'll check it out.

It's a bit shallow at times, but it's got some pretty cool aspects as well. Not the best of the lot, but certainly not bad.

somewhat small graphics if I remember

Yeah, the sprites are pretty small, kind of makes it look like a Genesis game in that regard.

Yes, Mercs is hard, but it's really well made... play it more and you do eventually get better at figuring out how to not get hit.

I want to like it, but the lack of diagonal shooting and slow pace just kill it for me.

It's not just another run and gun game, but one where you have to stop, think, and memorize. Going into doors and ducking to avoid fire (remember, one bullet kills you) are key gameplay mechanics. Be conservative with your ammo, it is limited and you really don't want to run out. It's hard but so, so much fun..

It's just too slow, I can't get into it at all.
