Quote:Indeed. System power determines what kind of games you can get. One of the major reasons for playing classic games is to see what can be done on limited systems. And even beyond that, that you are somehow denying that the differences between systems matters is so utterly bizarre I can't even begin to understand it...
Well, if it makes you feel any better, your stance is just as hard for me to understand. See, for me, whether it's a lazy team or difficult hardware or less powerful hardware, it doesn't change the fact that in a head-to-head challenge Mega Turrican comes out on the bottom in terms of graphics. That's just the reality of the situation here. Mentioning that it's because the Genesis isn't as powerful as the SNES has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not it looks as good comparatively to the other games.
If I were I doing a "Which Genesis game looks the best?" then we'd be talking about something different. But that isn't the purpose of this little exercise.

There are a lot of things I need, but a better PC gamepad is pretty low on that list however.
Quote:Have you ever played any of hte other games like it? The best ones definitely are the Shock Troopers games on Neo-Geo, buth tere are others as well. Of course though, I'd call Mercs a pretty good game in the genre. Really the only fault (for its genre) of the Genesis version beyond its sometimes high difficulty is that it doesn't have multiplayer. Other that it's great. Evidently you just don't like that kind of game...
It's not like I think it's some horrible game or something, but it just doesn't do much for me. And the tanks in the second stage are stupid.
I played some Shock Trooper 2 today and I really like it, definitely more fun and intense than Mercs. Some really nice graphics help too, of course, but that's certainly not the only thing I like more about it.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
