PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

[ceti alpha]

Does the Genny port have the rockin' stage 2 muzik? I know the arcade port doesn't have the same music on stage 2; and for that I put the TG/PCE port above the arcade since they're otherwise virtually identical.

The Genesis version has different music for stage 2, the pce, stage 2 music is better, in my oppinion.

Yeah, that stage 2 music is on my video game top 10 list.

[shubibiman]

It's in mine too.

They had to compose new music for stage 2 in the PCE/Turbo since the original music heard in the arcade and Genesis versions were composed and performed by Fleetwood Mac and Mr. TurboGrafx could not get the rights.  Mr. Genesis could afford to pay, however.  But Mr. TurboGrafx went to Beck (then unknown) and had him compose and perform the new stage 2 theme which ended up being much more hip and appealing to today's weed-smoking audience.

And yes, I am obviously being very serious.

Honest mistake, folks are always confusing the two artists.

OK, my under paid, over sexed friends, lets do some Sega CD vs Genesis.

A little Air Zonk vs Super Air Zonk.

Maybe it's just me, but, in respects to colors & shading & detail, Super Air Zonk wins.  Truly though, (I think I mentioned this to Tom), if only they had reused Lords of Thunders engine for Super Air Zonk, then, graphically, no matter how you look at it, it would've ruled in that respect!  But when building the game, they never really had much in mind for paralax, other then a few small area's, tis a shame.

[Joe Redifer]

I'll take Super Air Zonk over Regular Air Zonk any day as far as graphics, music and gameplay.  The parallax in Regular Air Zonk is nothing to write home about.

[Tatsujin]

all around, PC Denjin is just the much much funnier game to play. i like CD Denjin as well, but it misses some pepp & dynamic which PCD has and sure, the above mentioned parallax.

[Joe Redifer]

Neither game is very hilarious.

I think there was a movie with Bill Murray playing Zonk, and Zonk was playing Hunter S. Thompson.

I LOVE the Aeroblasters stage 2 music.

Agreed. I don't like the music in CD Denjin that much, the chiptunes in PC Denjin are superior.

You had me at "Aero".
