Honestly, James isn't even into games right? He focuses on movies now, he's a casual more than anything. Imo the Gen is too hardcore of a system for him, I could never see him beating Revenge of Shinobi or Alien Soldier. No wonder why he likes the Snes better, it was more casual friendly. Now Mike might be able to figure these games out if he digs into it. He already beat Bloodlines and C Hard Corps.

aw yeah man, such a classic. I can remember being terrible at this game as a kid and still I couldn't get enough of it. There's something about the music and graphical quality of the Sega Genesis games that hits this unique nostalgia button in me. I always had Nintendo and my friends had Sega, so when my grandmother bought me a Genesis gen 2 for Christmas one year, I felt like a freaking boss because I finally had both options. Now I also want to go back and replay Shining Force, for some reason I have always sort of linked these two in my head. I guess I got them at about the same time or something.

Yes James and Mike your continue theory is in fact correct! Comix Zone gives you a continue / extra life after the page 2 boss and page 4 boss. I went through the gauntlet with this game as a kid lol. It was just to hard for little me to beat at the time. But after a good few rentals I managed to get through it and get the bad ending. Yes! There are 2 endings! A few tries later I got good enough to get the good ending lol. One of my all time personal Sega Genesis favorites I still play from time to time for nostalgia and like to show off when I get together with my friends for our retro game hangout sessions. Great work as always! I look forward to whatever you tackle next.

James just meant when you move to another panel, you stay at the same place, but you are ahead a little bit, to the future. You kill a guy in sewers in the panel 1, move to panel 2, you still are in the sewers (same place), but it's on the future (ahead in time). So you move in time, but you don't move in space.

I remember getting this game oddly enough, in like a "Sears" type of department store. They had like a glass cabinet for their game section, and they had this one randomly as a bargain item. I remember playing the crap out of this game when I was a little girl. BUT the game was freakin brutal. My brothers used to be able to get further, and I would always struggle. Game is relentless. And the one life thing is just insane. But I know there is a ton of items and features in the game, that help you progress. But at that young of an age, it was always lost on me. I do recall playing this game over and over, because it was so addicting. Even if it got frustrating the further you went down (because dying the further you went down, was rage inducing).

Making this game any easier would allow you to beat it in one small sitting. I think it took a year to master. When I beat it as a kid the amount of euphoria I got from accomplishment was so huge. I even woke up my dad to show him the credits to prove I beat it. On the weekend I was never supposed to wake up my parents. But even he was impressed. I would say this isn't so hard when you learn all the little tricks. You can easily beat it if you memorize all the patterns. The music graphics and controls are great. But one life was frustrating as hell. There are harder games though, like The Haunting and Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Slime World. I never beat those but I love those too for some reason.

"Find The Combination" - The game tells you this every time you enter that room. i figured they could've figured that out, but they wouldn't stop talking about Planet Of The Apes and pay attention instead. Pay attention and read the manual sometimes or look up the game on the internet. i don't understand why them and others are so against that stuff. With that said i think that 1 life shit is bullshit and this game is a little too hard, lol.

I've been playing games for quite a while now and even now decades later this is easily one o the most difficult games I've ever played. It's a battle of attrition. Even if you manage to not get hit that often, you're still pretty fucked because health packs in this game are so sparse and restore very little, you'd think the developers had to pay for each one to be in the game. And since they obviously spent all the money on the badass art style, that left like $15 for health packs.

I wouldn't say difficulty is the factor. The problem lay with the risk/reward factor. Most players don't assume taking careless steps in any direction will lead to a gameover. Its punishing! Having to start over after having gained a few things here and there is no fun. Ultimately the 1 life aspect is just too harsh for this game. Even the creater admitted that

Hey James and Mike, Idk if you noticed, but breaking boxes, cages, barrels etc actually damages your health for every hit you land. The "correct" way to play, conserving your life total, is to find ways around obstacles like pushing them or tricking enemies into breaking them for you. Just another way this game is really difficult. Also, using the D pad and various taps of the attack button, there are actually a large variety of moves you can perform, which get around a lot of your enemy repeatedly blocking your basic punch. I'd love to see a "revisit" episode where you guys bear down and beat the game. Keep up the awesome videos!

VideoGameLover58 I specifically remember them saying the reflection level in bloodlines was awesome for the Genesis hardware. Just because James never owned a Genesis as a kid doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate it now. I love PlayStation but when he said he still preferred 4 over symphony of the night I didn't take offense to it.

Super C is a 2-continue game, James! 2 continues equals a total of 3 sets when taking into account the initial set of lives (player credits). How many lives you can have in total depends on the already given count (or 'per level', if witnessed). In Contra's case, it's 3 player credits and 3 continues (3+ 3x3=12). With Super C - 3 player credits and 2 continues (3+ 3x2=9).

I just spent a few hours playing this on the weekend and FINALLY beat it. It's definitely one of those things you need to play a lot and memorize better strats. Like, using bombs to blow up blockades and doors instead of spending your health smacking it x100 times, or holding the attack button to create this insta-kill-death-paper-air-plane, lol. Stuff like that. Cool video though, I frigin love this game. Cheers~

Exactly. I love them too, and I understand they just want to give a brief opinion about what they feel on the fly, like some casual gamers sitting at home with some snacks & beers. But that's what you don't expect from these guys: they are old-school true gamers (specially Mike) and they seem wrong as they play with no intensity or even paying attention, they just talk and talk mashing buttons almost randomly. If so, what is the point for this video?
