How about matching up some Space Fantasy Zone screens with SH & SH2?

Its faster with a hell of a lot more action onscreen.

space fantasy zone, pce








pce                                                genesis

Full motion cockpit for the win!  Though you might want to resize that monster pic, as 2592x3872 doesn't fit many monitors.

That picture is not large enough.  Could you please make it larger so maybe we can see it?  Thanks!

Space Harrier 3D kind of pisses me off as well.  It is exceedingly tough.  I have never been able to beat it.  And since it is a 3D game it is twice as choppy as the original SMS game, just like Out Run 3D.

Yeah, it's very choppy but that the SMS can shift all that stuff around like that is still pretty impressive. I'd love to do a sort of remake combining elements from all the versions of Space Harrier, including 3D as it had some fairly neat stuff in it.

Bonanza Bros.: I never played these games, but going solely from the screenshots, both versions seem nice and on par with each other. Sure, I could point out some things (see the last pic in the series, with the coal mine car) and give the edge to the pce, but...

There are some aesthetic decisions that seem to favor the pce: the gradient and perspective on the tiled floor, for example. Or the backgrounds.

Bonanza Bros. was a PCE CD, correct? Did it offer a nice soundtrack compared to the cart?

I have always hated Bonanza Bros with a passion.

                    PCE                                                Genesis                                        SMS



Judging from Paul's arcade vs PCE comparison on Pcengine.co.uk, the PCE version looks to be more arcade faithful than the Genesis version when it comes to color choices. That SMS screen shot is from Sega 8-bit.com.

The PCE arrangements are very cool.


Thanks :). I've been meaning to pick this up for years, but I was always leery of it. The handful of gems on the soundtrack alone makes it worthwhile.

I really dig the first and fourth songs (proper) on there. The opening track has a lot of drama. Song four is at 4:41. I like how the "rusty saloon door slowly moving" sound is incorporated into the song. Atmospheric.

Am I crazy, or does the sixth (last) song (7:38) have hints of SPACE HARRIER in the main melody?! Great tune, and I like the instruments and arrangement. Really sweet little track.

The third and fifth songs are easily my least favorite, but they are  executed competently. They just aren't my cup of tea.
