Nobody bought tickets before I began playing, so I had to play for an audience of one... ME! Fortunately I let myself in for a discount. Anyway here is the transcript of what occurred, as all of the games played are new to my collection:
The Terminator - Sega Genesis - I started playing this and all I could do is throw grenades. WTF? About a thousand Terminators destroyed me quickly. I tried again. Ah! I can get a gun! This helped. And I died soon thereafter. I look in the manual and it says something to the effect of "You might want to play it on easy in order to get past the first level". Seriously... it really says that! So I put it on easy and tried a third time. Made it a bit further but still didn't get past the first level. "EASY" on this game is what "XtReMe" is on most other games. I will search for a Game Genie code.
Lethal Enforcers II - Gun Fighters - Sega CD - A very grainy Konami game which really doesn't use much of the Genesis' palette. But it's kind of fun. I have the version which actually comes with a box and instructions since I already had the Justifier to use with Snatcher. Playing with the control pad or joystick is about 90 times easier than the Justifier. For one you can rapidly reload and fire at the same time just by hammering down as fast as you can on the A and C buttons. Use a rapid fire stick and you don't even need to apply any effort whatsoever! Effort is for losers. The Justifier only lets you shoot 6 times before requiring you to reload by shooting off-screen. this sucks during boss battles when they are throwing tons of shit at you. Also the gun isn't very accurate. The Sega Light Phaser for the SMS is far more accurate. But then again Sega is better than Konami.
Shanghai - Sega Master System - This game is pretty cool and the music is great, though you have to shut it off eventually if you value your sanity. But the game is fun and very tough. If it weren't for those damn foreign characters, it would be easy. Damn foreigners. How dare they not use English!
Ghostbusters - Sega Master System - This game is tough, but it is the best version of the Activision-designed Ghostbusters game evar! It was the 3rd videogame I had ever purchased in my entire life (right after Space Harrier and Choplifter for the SMS which I bought along with the system itself), and I hated it at the time. I kept whining and bitching to take it back, but by the time my mom actually agreed I started to get the hang of it and even like it somewhat. I didn't tell her that because that would have negated my earlier whining and would have also made any future whining less effective (and I had lots of plans), so I too it back and exchanged it for something else. It's gonna take the same amount of time to get the hang of again, I'm afraid. The Genesis version is still the best Ghostbusters game in existence.
Gale Racer - Sega Saturn - Also known as Rad Mobile, this is a very arcade-style racer. The graphics consist basically of scaling logs. Sega rules. What other company would ever think to scale f*cking logs? Also this game has tr00 transparencies!!!!!!!! Anyway this game gets a bad rap, but it really isn't too bad. I think most people expect Daytona or some game filled with polygons. We here on PCEngineFX hate polygons, though. So Gale Racer is king. I would rather they had called it Rad Mobile, though... far more cheesy!
