    Sweet, i guess i'll have to shell out for points again (first time in about 3/4 weeks).

    Also, Holy Sh*t, Alien Storm is rated too... that and MERCS are two of the Megadrive games that i've been banking on since Virtual Console launched :)

    I used to 1 credit MERCS in the arcades. The megadrive conversion is almost arcade perfect but it also has a bonus game which has completely new levels than the arcade game and is just as long. Really good value for money.

    Streets of Rage 2 is an absolute classic, can't wait for it. It hasn't aged a bit unlike the first game.

    Panic on Funkatron is also really good.

    The bonus "Original mode" in Mercs is better than the arcade mode. Definitely a worthy purchase if you don't have a copy. One of my fav Megadrive games of all time.

    According to British Gaming Blog, this weeks releases are out early due to a German holiday...

    Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES) - 800 Points.
    Mario and Yoshi (NES) - 500 Points.

    The DKC games are classic, and the second one is probably my favourite from the series. I've played it to death, so I don't think I'll be getting it. If you liked DKC1 and want a different (and harder!) experience, go ahead and grab it.

    Edit: Not yet available in UK/Ireland.

    The yanks got Streets of Rage 2 today but even more exciting is that they got Blazing Lasers otherwise known as Gunhed, probably the best shmup ever on the TG-16. Hope we get it soon.

    I LOVE Super Mario Bros 2... :D

    Well... if it's the European one, which I think was some other Japanese game re-branded as a Mario game... I loved it anyway :D

    Screw Mario 2, never liked it that much.

    Blazing lasers is the western name for Gunhed which is the best shmup on the TG-16 and should be the game you pick up this week instead of the other tosh.

    Thought they would have released all stars at two euro dearer than the single games, releasing them one by one detracts from the whole thing.

    SoR2: Absolute classic. Buy it now.
    Kid Chameleon: I don't know why it's rated so highly by some people. Absolute crap.
    Toe Jam and Earl 2: Great platform game with some very funny moments. Don't let the original put you off it's a very different game.

    Can't be arsed getting out of bed to check the other one.

    China Warrior (TG16)
    Megaman (NES)

    Maybe next week they'll say "Hmmmm... over 100,000 people downloaded FZero, and only 4 people downloaded China Warrior... I've an idea - lets only put good f**king games up in future!"
