Yeah, EA on 16-Bit consoles was unique, especially the Genesis. I think it was the familiarity between Sega Genesis and the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST computers. Developers were more familiar with the

I agree. Developers have never gotten the difficulty right when it is offered up in stages. Something seems offputting at the easiest level but then downright enfuriating, nearly unplayable, at the highest.

They certainly have talent. This type of thing is not easy to pull off. I tried doing it when I first learned BASIC on the Commodore 64 using the built in graphics, I had no clue they were PETSCII or what

Thank you!

I forgot to mention the cost. It is apparently $180.

You rock, thank you.

My brother was my source for Commodore mags - Ahoy!, Compute! and Compute!'s Gazette. He would let me read them a few months after he got them when he was bored with them, or had typed in the programs

I love checking out these glimpses into what gamers around the world were reading back in the day. Being in the USA, I was limited to EGM, Gamepro, Game Players, etc (I didn't get into PC gaming mags till

I was fortunate enough to pick up a used 3DO and a handful of titles at that same EB for about $100 in mid 1994. I know what you mean though, that jump from 16-Bit, even Starfox levels, to 32-Bit was

This was a rent then forget for me back in the day. I just could not get into the isometric view of the game, still can't really adjust today to this style. It looks great, looked even better when 16-Bit

I wanted this one back in the day but never got it. By the time I saw it in stores I had already packed the Genesis up for awhile and was questioning if I wanted to drop teh cash on a new game for it at

Following along your series makes me wish I had time to sink into this series, and many others. I grew up longing for the Might and Magic, Wizardry, etc franchises but never had the money to get them (on

You rock, thank you so much.

I remember reading about pirate copies and hacks that were getting made back then. The gaming mags here would occasionally cover them in heavily slanted towards "don't support this stuff" articles

Super Puzzle Fighter was one that missed me, I had so much trouble wrapping my head around the mechanics. I wanted to enjoy it but in arcades, it was always crowded so if I got to get a round in it was

I remember wanting this one but the one store that stocked NES games near me never had it in stock. When we went on family road trips, I never had the money to buy it when I did see it. I still have not

This is one of those games that I wanted but never had a chance to get back in the day. The local gaming stores barely stocked anything outside the big names of gaming, and even then it was one or two

I am glad you enjoyed it.

People like me sometimes forget we are quite priveleged when it comes to gaming, or entertainment in general, that the rest of the world may not have gotten to enjoy. Thanks to emulation, the playing field

It is definitely wild that what many said was a quickly stale idea was able to mature and become what it is today. I remember magazines, and friends, bringing up the shortcomings of the first game, and
