Sega Genesis reaches 20 years of age in the United States

Ristar needed a remake more IMO.

I wish Chakan would have gotten the update it deserved. We just got teased with a bunch of concept art a few times and then nothing.

This project bounced around for longer than most people know. At one point it was being worked on for Xbox.

the genesis is pretty cool

streets of rage 2 isn't very good, though. they didn't need to stretch it out to be a fuckin' hour long. i have almost no desire to 1cc it anymore. :/

I like SoR2, but I'll admit 6 stages would've been a decent length still (this would've been a total of about 45 mins. probably). Using two of the stages as alternate paths (i.e. after stage 2 is cleared, you could then choose the amusement park or ballpark for stage 3) would've been better than requiring all 8 to be played in one shot.

Happy BD Genesis, you're not a teen anymore.

Weren't a lot of the resources for the Chakan remake used in another game? Was it Soul Reaver?

I heard that, but I'm not sure about the game.

Man, looking through my carts, which I haven't played in forever... there's Trouble Shooter. Woof! So bad its good. Loved the bosses.

Here we go. Apparently the unfinished Chakan heavily influenced or may have even BECAME Blood Omen 2. Fun!

[DacaZ]

Interesting. Blood Omen 2 was not good.

[ChaoofNee]

Maybe it was for the better, then.

Also, dig the mural in Blood Omen 2 that kinda looks like Chakan getting impaled. Heh.

The genesis was a classy little system, though it was then and still is now a very definite second place to the snes.

Really no comparison as far as I'm concerned.

I never really liked altered beast either. Fun for about three levels and that's it.
