I have Bucky O'Hare and think the game features outstanding parallax, which the NES wasn't supposed to be able to do.

Enjoyed this episode, especially with Jackie Chan and Jumping Flash.  Loved Jumping Flash when it came out and it's still fun to play. Have my copy somewhere at my parent's house. Remember picking it up for $4.99 from Electronics Boutique. Really making me think about finally getting a 32X as well...

Bucky O'Hare seems cool, although a similar game that I would have gone with personally would be Little Samson. Apparently it's really expensive on the NES, but damn, what an awesome game!

Knuckles' Chaotix is fantastic. It wouldn't catch half the flack it does if it hadn't been for the fact that it's neither a traditional Sonic game nor a new 3D Sonic game, like people were hoping for. The bungee function really does work, and once you get used to it, the game is FAST.

That's right, Knuckles Chaotix is the fastest Sonic game.

It does have a couple of flaws, though. The random stage select, as well as the random partner select, really shouldn't have existed (though you can get around them with bonus stage items). Also, they did an awful lot of idea recycling in each Zone. It's almost impossible to tell them all apart.

Still, the first level and the greenhouse level are some of the best in Sonic history, I think, especially with their awesome music. Too bad my 32X is in America, or I'd give it a spin right now.

I had Jumping Flash back when the PS1 was new. I had it on a demo disc and loved it so much that I bought the full game. I must've sold it though. :(

I went back and tried playing Jumping Flash 1 and 2 a few months ago, the control was just too much of an adjustment for me to enjoy it.

Definitely my favorite episode at this point! :D

Note about Super Air Zonk. Does anyone else hear the similarities between Super Air Zonk's music, particularly the guitar work, to that of Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast? I am convinced they share some of the same music staff.

I doubt Jun Senoue was even in the biz at the time Super Air Zonk was released.

Awesome episode of course!! Think I'll give Spriggan Mark 2 a chance. I have heard mixed things about it but it looks pretty cool to me.

Is that him? You may be right. IMO the similarities are uncanny. Maybe it's just me.  :-k

Almost as entertaining as the episode itself is watching the Genesis fans come out of the woodwork in the comments section and start complaining how it's "not fair" to compare the Turbo port of Forgotten Worlds to the "early release" Genesis port. Not only that, but the Turbo port is "hundreds of megs" because it's on CD-ROM and must also take advantage of the "CPU upgrades" offered by the Turbo's CD-ROM drive.

Bet you $50 that all those arguments taking place are just Nintega using his multiple accounts to argue with himself. :P

I'm a huge Mega Drive fan but yeah, that's pretty sad.
