I think the PCE wins slightly here for being more faithful.  Neither game harnesses the sheer power that either system is capable enough.  If more MEGA POWER was added, it could be much better.  Maybe if the Turbo version was on the Arcade Card CD with music by Lady Gaga!!!!

lol. MEGA POWER!! I love it.  :lol:

Of course, the X68K Thunder Blade looks to be top notch.

This is like night and day. Did the developers just not bother trying with the Genesis port?

i always hated the lack of nice HUD on the genesis one, and now when you stick it next to the pce one its even worse.

theres that HUGE wasted area of space.  WHYYYYYY didnt they put something there.  #-o

The developers definitely phoned that one in.  I don't think the Genesis version can be favorably compared to even the Lynx version, which is pretty sad considering the color limitations of the Lynx.

The problem with the PCE port is that is moves verrrry slowly, even compared to the Lynx original.  How's the Genesis version in that respect?

That's true, the Genesis looks like a horrible Master System game, if that.  How did they think even one person would buy something like that when they were showing pictures of it in the magazines?  The NES can do better.

Yeah, it almost has a C64 quality.

The RedBook soundtrack has a few moments to appreciate. I don't think everyone will love it, but it is certainly one of the game's only positive attributes :).

Todd's Adventures in Slime World (Red Book Soundtrack)http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/Slime_World/Slime_World_01.mp3
-- "Come on!" 80's voice samples. Later in the track, you get treated to some synth sax!http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/Slime_World/Slime_World_02.mp3
-- I dig the piano/percussion in the background.http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/Slime_World/Slime_World_03.mp3
-- Hmm, there's a bit of an Egyptian/Middle Eastern/Asian flavor to this one that is nice, because it is subtle and doesn't get cloying.http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/Slime_World/Slime_World_04.mp3
-- (My favorite).  This track starts off as a freestyle (latin freestyle) song, goes into some synth leads that could be from Valis II (which is a good thing). For me, this is a match made in heaven. I just wish the song was longer. http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/Slime_World/Slime_World_05.mp3
-- This is whimsical, catchy, upbeat (yes, they threw a voice sample in there).http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/Slime_World/Slime_World_06.mp3
-- "The sound is serious!" More obligatory 80's voice samples, driven almost completely by funky bassline/percussion.http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/Slime_World/Slime_World_07.mp3
-- This track prematurely ends, never really develops a personality of its own.

Depending on your taste in tea, you'll find some good stuff here. :)

man the CD one doesn't even look like they COULDNT do it on the Hucard.  It looks like they were just lazy and or wanted to promote the CD game instead.
