Castlevania Bloodlines LETS GOOOOOOO

Hi everyone! One of the games that grabbed me was Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure.

What I would love to see is a version of the game with Babs as the main character. Is possible to replace Buster's sprites, dialogues, etc. with Babs ones? Can someone do it?

Please excuse me if this post is not for here

Landstalker is a MD game i Always loved as a kid. Sega's gritty kick in the Nad's to Nintendo's Zelda.

Recently played it again, to get the 100%.
it was worth replaying. it helped me a lot with a detail I was overlooking.
waiting in the meanwhile, for lady stalker: challenge from the past.

I believe that Data East has a bit of a bad rep in modern times because their titles were generally leaning on the simpler side programming and gameplay wise but otherwise offered interesting, exhilarating and fast paced arcade experiences and this is one of my favorite MD titles for that very reason.
Sure it's nothing special when compared to absolute juggernauts like Alien Soldier or Gunstar Heroes but this is still a great run 'n' gun title and a MASSIVE overhaul over the Arcade original, which is quite rare, since most Arcade-to-Mega Drive ports are generally considered to be inferior.

 

[elrepoman]

Vectorman, Vectorman 2, and Sidepocket but to be honest the majority of the Sega Genesis library.

 

[YuriSukiSan]

There's a lot of games here that are amazing so I'll just say Rocket Knight Adventures, the Megadrive has way too many games I like but recently that's the one I've been enjoying the most when I take the time to revisit it!

 

[Auriiya]

Battletoads lol all

Phantasy Star 4 remains one of the most impressive games of that generation as far as I'm concerned and remains my favorite 16-bit JRPG (which is obviously saying a lot since it has stiff competition). I wish Sega would get their act together and just remaster the original 4 games in a single package or at least remaster them all individually on all platforms, but every year it seems less and less likely that will ever happen.

Other picks I'd go with are Sonic 2, Alien Soldier (shoutouts to @Ikagura for rockin the pfp) and Streets of Rage 2!

Contra Hard Corps for me multiple characters, paths and endings better than Contra 3 for the SNES imo.

CORRECT!!!!

I would totally buy for a new Phantasy Star Collection as long as they bring QoL improvements (especially regarding the walk speed). The first Phantasy Star still isn't on Steam which is a shame.

In the same way that I don't get why they cannot remaster the rest of the series with p2p local multiplayer so people could have the online without needing a master server.

Thanks!

The original arcade game showed its age but I do love the Genesis port.

I enjoyed the genesis version more than the snes one.

And the snes version was pretty damn good.

Wonderboy 5 and 6

Is there a wonderboy 6...?

 

[Ikagura]

Is there a wonderboy 6...?

Technically Monster World IV is WB6.

I consider Monster Boy to be Wonder Boy 7 / Monster World 5.

Ikagura, thank you very much
this cleared up some doubts for me.

 

[OmegaKatanaXIII]

Favorite Genesis game let me say Sonic 3, Streets of Rage 2, and finally Shining force 2 (even if I have never ever finished it).
