zylon Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'll be putting a "New to the HSC" game in next round's poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 There's an arcade game that is very similar to Megamania. We played it once in the MAME HSC, i can't remember the name of the game now. It come out before Megamania tho. It seems Activision copied the idea for this game off someone else.

This Megamania seems no different than any other port I've played. It's a shame Activision didn't upgrade all of their titles for the more powerful systems.

LidLikesIntellivision Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hamburger, Hot Dogs, Fences, Soap, Blinker, Floor pulisher, Tie and Trash. Those were the enemies when I was young and playing the 2600 version... This seems to be more difficult, I don't know if it's only because the time is short.
