    i was a SNES player and have never properly played a MD game, some people seem to think MD was better, so what games did it have?

    Streets of Rage (some would say 2 and 3 as well but not me).
    Speedball II (the Amiga version is better).
    Strider
    Shinobi
    Shinobi III (not sure what happened to two).
    Sonic if you like him.

    Basically a lot of games beginning with S.

    Well ever heard of Sonic the hedgehog?;) I suggest you do a google yourself for a every game released My personal favorites would be...

    Echo the Dolphin
    Sonic The Hedgehog 1-3
    Micro Machines
    California Games
    Gun Star Heros
    Shinning Force 2
    Toe Jam & Earl

    32X Games
    Virtua Fighter
    T-Mek

    I'm sure others will suggest a few games to look for:)
    use GENS to run your MD/ 32X roms.

    All the sonics.
    Wiz 'n' Liz (for 2 player madness)
    Road Rash and Road Rash 2
    Sensible Soccer (Probably THEE best footie game on the md)
    May as well give FIFa a shot too.
    Nhl Ice Hochey 95 (the one with the fights)
    Any of the Micro Machine series


    Will try think of some more but they should keep you busy for the time being.

    My favourites would be:

    Thunderforce 4
    Castlevania: New Generation (The japanese version Akumajo dracula is better since a lot of the bloody details were cut from other versions)
    Gunstar Heroes (The daddy)
    Rocket Knight Adventures
    Shining Force 1+2
    The Phantasy Star games.
    Toejam and Earl (For 2 player co-op)
    The Sonic the Hedgehog games
    Probotector

    I can't think of any more but if theres anything else I'll post it up.

    yeah, i played this on the amiga long ago and have the SNES rom, though i can't really stand the game any more (the players run faster than the ball moves, so much for passing it :p)

    do you mean contra 4? i got a MD emu before to play this game, cus i liked contra 3, some people accuse it of being a hard game :D (it really is)

    thanks for all the games, i'll give them a look
    how big are 32X roms?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭Spacedog


    I've only a couple of 32x roms...

    VR Deluxe is 3 MB
    SterWars Arcade is 2.5MB

    Virtua racin's the origonal proper polygon 3d racin' game, gameplay the same as the arcade. the resolution is a little too low on the emulator, but then again that might just be my memory playing tricks on me :)

    Yes, it is contra 4. Was called probotector in Europe and had the well 'ard marines replaced with crappy gay robots. It is bastid hard. You can beat the game in 30 minutes but it took me a month and a half of non-stop playing to master it and get all the endings.
