ugh, i've only played the NES version of the original, and i hated it. super hydlide, now, that's a pretty good game.
yeah man thats the 3rd game, theres a second game too called Shine of Darkness. Its pretty fun. The NES one gets hated on alot, but I always thought it was fun.

pumping the franchise!
Though if I had to pick, id go Hydlide 1 for MSX2 (The froppy disk version w/ 256 colors!), MSX1 for #2, and Sega Genesis for #3 w/ MSX2 in close second, only because the FM tunes for the genesis one kick ass. hard.
I intend to make a video now that my camera has batteries and shit. It will mostly be me playing Hydlide games, while making fun of everyone who whines about the game. I figure if theres like 3402034 videos on youtube bashing the game in faux-AVGN fashion, there might as well be ONE where someones praising the game!

I've been meaning to pickup the MSX games, but the multiple versions confuse me...
I always did like the idea of Virtual Hydlide though. They idea, atmosphere, and setting were perfect. But they kinda failed in the execution of it. Still it's a much better game then people give it credit for, but the horrible horrible frame rate makes it hard to play these days.

Here is the 'splanation.
Hydlide 1 MSX1: monochrome sprites and stuff, on a cartridge. Password based w/ volatile save ram (If you turn the system off, your save state dies). Its still extremely legit, and I prefer it over the NES on.
Hydlide 1 MSX2: Same game, but on a floppy. 256 color mode (looks better than NES), and lets you save to disk. Get this one if you can. It usually costs more.
Hydlide 2 MSX1: It saves properly, and its fun. I skipped class to play it last semester, lol.
Hydlide 3 MSX1: Ugly. Hydlide 3 MSX2: Not Ugly, and the same exact game.
Its kind of like MSX1/MSX2 version of Drasle Family (legacy of the wizard). Same exact game, except the MSX1 one has monosprites.
Hydlide in general doesn't get the credit it deserves
