I'm doing Genesis reviews now; Feedback appreciated! Sunset Riders n Altered Beast

[gorfcadet]

My first two game reviews are Sunset Riders and Altered Beast.  I've always been a SEGA kid, so I thought after spending a year on the 7800, I'd dedicate my next run of videos to my all time favorite console.  Let me know what y'all think if you get a chance to check them out.  I'm wanting to do a list video soon featuring the best cheap games to start a Genesis collection with.

@gorfcadet Had no idea you had such a strong love for the Genny! You should ask me about mods for it sometime hehe...

Looked at your Altered Beast video, like the fact you add cheats.

 

Your very fair on the game i found.

 

If I had 1 constructive criticism, it's that for us European viewers,  we knew Altered Beast on the home micros courtesy of Activision..they paled next to the Genisis version..and as a C64 and ST owner, speech in games had been quite common in games, long before i bought a Mega Drive.

 

But that's me nit picking.

 

Really enjoyed the Video.

Were the micros better than the Fami/NES and Master System versions?  Those really hurt.   

 

I still have my original model 1 Genny from 89 and original 32X and CD model 2.  Golden Ax - the user built me a nice all in one power supply out of a Gamecube power supply.

The C64 version was not Mark Jones finest work ?

 

Slow, no in-game music,  akward controls,  poor collision detection, ugly sprites etc.

 

The Atari ST version suffered from poor animation, jerky scrolling and bizzarely both player sprites in 2 player mode were indentical which lead to a lot of confusion ?

That does sound really bad.  The NES version always seemed like a complete fail to me.  Like whoever worked on it really didn't want to work on it.
