TurboSwim Plays FEKA (SEGA)

[turboswimbz]

So if you recall I started a thread on what MD games I should try, Well my MDED arrived yesterday, And I thought I 'd share my thoughts on the games as I went.

Did I miss something? Should I give something another shot?  Do you have fond memories of the game?  Do I like terrible games?  all comments welcome.

without further ado my next post shall be on the first game I fired up...

GAME #1:

Streets of rage 2

Well I'd love to come up with a way of descrirbing this game.  It's not that it's bad, IT's that it is actually really good.  And that just doesn't do it justice,  rather I think the best compliment for this game is FUN.  if you win it's fun, if you lose it's fun, and so so satisfying.  The Music sounds great, the picture is bright and detailed.  The controls are almost perfect.  At times some of the enimies feel a tad to powerful, but this added the right amount of skill and challenge to the game.   If I had to come up with a compliant for this game, It just felt too short becuase I wanted to keep playing after my playthrough.  (and I did replay it a bit)   

Overall, the pefect game to show off what the genny was great at.   ON to more gamess though.

GAME 2:

NHL 94'

OKay Okay, I cou;dn't help but go to a game I use to love.  As a kid I loved NHL 94 and 95.  This game is as good as I remember it.  There are a few things I wish were diffrent, but overall this and 95 and the SNES are more favorite 2 versions.  94 on the genny has the best ice skating mechanics, no turning on a dime here, for the era.   And one timers/checking still feel awesome.   I do miss the fights and eason mode 95 added, but that's okay, as it soon devolved to over complication of the game series.  I also find this version quite challenging and actually fun.  The goalie mechanics seem to stop things from being 12-2 games when playing against the AI.  I find this highly possible in many of later games, even on the hardest AI settings.   

Overall a good game, I think I might still perfer 95 on the SNES but that could be 8 yr old me having the SNES and not the genny, perhaps if I had the genny I'd have felt diffrently.

Well that's it for now. Night one of MD was certaintly fun, and featured two fun, light games.

I still enjoy Streets of Rage 1, too. Don't listen to the naysayers.

Play Boogerman. Just for the quality of the animation alone, it's worth it. I know the "Humor" is a little sophomoric, but it's a well designed and fun game. Also, NHL All Star Hockey '95 is just an amazing Hockey game. One of the best I have ever played, even by today's standards! LOL

The Streets of Rage Games are amazing, by the way.

#3

WARSONG aka Langrisser

Well I wanted to start playing some games I had played on the PCE.  One I always liked but had a tough time enjoying due to language barriers was langrisser.   Warsong turned out to be a treat of a game, but honestly it just made me enjoy the PCE version more.   I actually most confess this post is a shame. after I learned the stages and menus I finished the game on PCE and watched/read the story in English online.  (Which is fine as the story is nothing new, and unremarkable really.  Bad guys attack the king, Prince goes off and gets army, rescues the kingdom, blah blah.)   The PCE version is just beautiful compared the Feka.  Although both games have excellent graphics and music. 

The game itself while fun, a mix of Fire Emblem and Military Madness, Isn't very deep and kind of lacking in the difficulty balancing.  While generally the enemy is stronger, they are very dumb.  And you must farm XP or the end is impossible.  and if you do farm well, then you end up with and easy second half.   Class choices add some replayability and a somewhat varying story line does too.

overall I'm going to give it an 8 out of 10.  Solid, fun, but not good enough to be a 10/10 WOW game.  A must try for those who like strategy games.

I'm a big fan of the Genesis. The library has many quality action games, adventure titles, and platformers.

I think Streets of Rage 3, despite not having as good as music as 1 or 2 (the music is still good imo), is the best of the games. The dedicated dashing move helps a lot in keeping things moving at a quick pace.
