The newest episode:

Sidescrolling Run n Guns


That was great Joe!  I love the Nintendo/Sega arguments.  it's so true tho- My friends and I always go back n' forth on what is better: Contra III or Gunstar Heroes!  I usually chime in with "Screw both, I like Shockman better!"

:) can't wait till the next one!

Joe, what's the deal with games like Realm for the SNES? Did it have a US release?

I was really hoping you would do a Run 'n Gun episode! :clap:

Yeah, not sure why they didn't release that here.  Also, sorry about showing the ROM hack for that game, it's all I could find and Dave's actual Japanese version hasn't arrived yet.

Latest episode:

Wonder Boy and Adventure Island


Just curious if either of you were familiar with the Famicom port of Wonder Boy in Monster Land. Saiyūki World it has even more extreme sprite changes and such than any of the Hudson ports, but it's a licensed version of the same game.

I love the Wonderboy games so much, it's a shame I never played them when they were current.

Joe, I'm curious, ridiculous anal stretching price aside, do you like the Genesis Monster World or Dynastic Hero better? I haven't played either one for any significant amount of time.

That's really hard to say.  Both play identically so you really can't go wrong.  That said, I'm not very fond of the music replacements in Dynastic Hero.  Some of it is pretty good, but the majority of it just doesn't seem appropriate to a Monster World type of game.  But Dynastic Hero does have slightly better colors in a few spots, but lacks parallax scrolling.

Dan, no I haven't heard of it.  I was considering including some of the Tec Toy spite hacked Monica versions (or whatever they're called), but decided against it.

As for me DH has one of the best Soundttrack on the System. Not so much surpricing anymore, after knowing who's responsible for it, which is no less a figure than Mr. Nick Wood himself (composer of famous gate of thunder BGMs).

This alone makes me to want to play this game over and over again, while I rarely touched the MD version in the past 15 years.

Really really great vid joejoe! You-Tube finally has a great vid comparing the two series. Bravo! I wouldn't mind having the Master System port of Monster World but somehow his sword is even shorter than usual. Good luck hitting enemies in that one.

Monster World IV is a definite goal of mine. Seeing as I am equipped to play Mega Drive games now MWIV would make a great first import.

That's because the Master System isn't powerful enough to have a longer sword.  :)  But seriously, that is why I am crouching and stabbing most of the time during the video segments of the SMS version because that extends your range.

Tats, I'll give the music another listen on its own.

If you want to get MWIV there are repros of it with the fan translation on it.
