TGVGD The Great Video Game Draft (Genesis Draft)

[Smacktard]

mother fuck

Skitchin' before someone steals that one, too.

One of the reasons I'm excited for this draft is because I know there's gonna be so many games I haven't heard of before. This looks like such a weird game. Kinda wanna try it now.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

After Burner 2

After Burner 2

After Burner in the arcade is one of life's great pleasures.

It's a lot of fun. Takes a bit to get used to but once you figure things out, you'll speed through the levels. I don't remember which weapons were the best, but it won't take long to find favorites.

I need to get the Sega Ages release on the Saturn which includes After Burner and Outrun in arcade quality. The NES version of After Burner is solid, though. Especially with the NES Advantage arcade stick/pad.

All you weirdos getting different Sonic games...

Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium

best value pick of the draft so far. i haven't finished it or even gotten very far but i tried this out on the genesis switch online thing a while back and it does SO many things i wish had become jrpg staples. the dynamic character portraits during cutscenes are so cool. it did so much with so little

 

[Cole]

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

 

[Tubby23]

@Rick52 you're up good sir

 

[Rick52]

Vectorman

@Tubby23 is next

 

[Tubby23]

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

@VashTheStampede

 

[VashTheStampede]

Hopefully my ENTIRE list won't be from the same series of games as others on the list BUT

I genuinely liked Streets of Rage 3 more than 2, mainly because of all the secret characters. It blew my mind to be able to play as some of the bad guys.

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Jon it is your turn to pick my next game

 

[Jon]

Gotta be Contra: Hard Corps from me.

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Crystal time for two picks but don't take that one I wanna take next

 

[Tubby23]

@Crystal time for two picks but don't take that one I wanna take next

Or do, it's entirely up to you

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'm predicting she doesn't but Jon does.

 

[Jon]

I'm predicting she doesn't but Jon does.

I think I'm going more outside the box if it makes it to my next pick.

 

[Crystal]

Hmm...decisions, decisions.

Super Street Fighter II
Castlevania: Bloodlines

 

[VashTheStampede]

Nooooooooo

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Jon bring more pain

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I don't like playing Street Fighter 2 on the Genesis. The Genesis' awful sound controller ruins the themes, and the graphic on the copy I got was subpar compared to the SNES.

I spent hours upon hours playing Super Street Fighter II on my Sega Nomad, well after bedtime...

How could you play on the nomad? Even if you had it plugged in so it didn’t drain the batteries in 30 minutes, if you moved at all? The game would lose connection to the nomad itself

Oh I was always chained to the wall, but I rarely had any connectivity issues. Usually just with the old taller EA cartridges.

This sounds like me with Banjo Kazooie and Super Mario 64

 

[Jon]

@Jon bring more pain

Super Street Fighter would have been my "inside the box" choice.

But like I said, I'm going outside the box to try and avoid your pick:

I'm going with the one that started the "It's in the Game..."

Madden NFL '94

And I'll hope my next pick falls all the way back down to me.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

 

[VashTheStampede]

X-Men 2: Clone Wars

@Cole

 

[VashTheStampede]

About 9 hours or so left on the clock for @Cole

 

[shortkut]

About 9 hours or so left on the clock for @Cole

[Cole]

I don't think I ever even beat the first level, but I still played it a ton.

[Fool's Requiem]

Earthworm Jim 2

 

[shortkut]

Streets of Rage 1

[VashTheStampede]

Another chance for @Cole to get Shaq Fu

 

[Cole]

TMMT Hyperstone Heist

 

[VashTheStampede]

TMMT Hyperstone Heist

I had expected kut to take that with his double pick.

@Rick52 I have a feeling you might take my pick here...

 

[Rick52]

I wouldn't think so since you just took Shinobi III, as I am picking The Revenge of Shinobi, specifically the initial versions with all the copyright infringement

I didn’t play it as often as the NES TMNT games, but with it being harder than most others, I hoped it would slip to me with my next double pick

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Tubby23 is up

 

[Tubby23]

Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf

 

[Jon]

Stole my pick

ALMOST made it back to me.

 

[Tubby23]

Forgot to say @VashTheStampede

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh thank goodness it's still there

I will take Mega Mans 1-3

Mega Man: The Wily Wars

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Jon is up

 

[Jon]

I lost it on the SNES I'll take Shadowrun. The Sega version was better anyway.

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Crystal is up!
