This is by far the most undderatted Genesis game of al time. Ive been playing since I was 6 I am now 35. I never met anyone who has even played it without me forcing them to check it out. Definitely in my top 5 of all time on the console.

Chelnov, his sister Chelmi, their dog Chelby, their cat Chelvy, their hamster Cheldster, so it came as no surprise, when their dad was fired from a job of a chief of the creative unit.
Compared to the original arcade, Genesis's version made a miracle. I'm impressed!

THIS is the game that I remember but couldn't think of the name of. All I remembered was you could shoot things, one of the bosses was a giant suit of armor, and the final boss was fought at the statue of liberty. I recognized it right from when the game's title screen came up. You could do backflips and just like in Biohazard Battle - collect powerups for your weapon. I had to watch the entire playthrough just to relive everything. Man these classic games looked hard. Hm... that "giant" suit of armor boss looks smaller than I remember. I only remember fighting the foot of the guy and it taking up half the screen - that's how big it was. I guess the boss was just such a scary bastard that that's how I remembered it. False memory I suppose.

The arcade story makes even less sense from what I saw. One "windy" (not windy day) some kind of disaster in a nuclear plant gives a guy called Chelnov atomic powers. Then it doesn't say anything about who he's fighting, he just breaks out of a glass tube and starts wrecking everything.
@alienspacebat52186 жыл бұрын
True, and that's a lot more than I can believe anyone "barely conscious" could say. The ending is just as embarrassing. After one boss theme for the rest of the game (and almost every other Data East game) the final boss suddenly has separate music for each phase (none of it even that impressive compared to the stage music). The actual end text is so triumphalist even most ancient Greeks would have laughed at it for that reason alone.

Data East knew no one would play a direct port, that home console gamers wanted more for their money, so they had it improved for home release.
