>My only criticism is that it's short, is there anything similar out there?
No. And that's exactly why it's "underrated".

>underrated

It's on almost every top list of Genesis games, it's very very popular.

I like the art style and concept, but was never a big fan of the gameplay and overall game design.

>is there anything similar out there?

Comix Zone is one of a kind. Sorry anon.
If you're looking for a strange unique game though, give The Ooze a try. I've never played it longer than an hour, but its interesting.

There's only one proper Wonderboy game (and a spin-off series based off it, Adventure Island). If you want a sidescrolling action-RPG, play Monster Land, Dragon's Trap, Monster World III, and Monster World IV, in that order. Monster Lair is a shmup/platformer hybrid. Best ones imo are Dragon's Trap and Monster World 4.

>>3707510
As with anything, production order.
You don't neccesarily have to beat them though. Play 'em for a bit until you find one that you think you're up to seeing through to the end. Wonder Boy 3: The Dragons Trap and Wonder Boy in Monster World are highlights. Wonder Boy in Monster Land (not World!) is probably the most difficult one.

You won't play more than ~20% of that shit, max.

Genesis needs Ecco

Also I fucking love Herzog Zwei but playing it by yourself is kinda meh, heads up.

>>3707497
I'm actually planning to since I started a personal project of writing a blog with personal thoughts of every game I've finished.

That's why I chose essential games, action and platformers mostly (since RPG's take to much time and I'd rather play them at my own pace)

I just have one rule since I can't play everything on its original hardware: no savestates unless it's after finishing a level (like a normal save function, not for save scumming).

What makes you think ¥ stands for Japanese yen?

Is it yuan? And if so, question still stands.

>>3707395
Not even American, but don't exchange one currency people aren't too familiar with to another one most people aren't familiar with.

Just US dollars or at worst €.

Thanks, anyway they are good games.
The real mystery is Urban Champion, although I guess being the first videogame about fighting guys on the street must have had its appeal back in the day.

Here's the list I took from https://matome.naver.jp/odai/2135511355842805701?&page=1. It could have some weirdnesses, for example there's no Zelda on it, but from what I am reading actual Zelda sales were stated by Family Computer Magazine to be at 0.92 mln which indeed puts it off the list.

Anyway, here it is, with sales in millions of copies:

1. SMB—6,81
2. SMB3—3,84
3. DQIII—3,80
4. DQIV—3,10
5. Golf—2,46
6. DQII—2,40
7. Baseball—2,35
8. Mahjong—2,13
9. Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium (aka Famista)—2,05
10. Tetris—1,81
11. Mario Bros—1,63
12. Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium '88—1,61
13. Excite Bike—1,57
14. Tennis—1,56
15. Doctor Mario—1,53
16. Soccer—1,53
17. F1 Race—1,52
18. DQ—1,50
19. Ninja Hattori-kun—1,50
20. Mahjong for 4—1,45
21. Spartan X—1,42
22. Final Fantasy III—1,40
23. Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium '87—1,30
24. Xevious—1,27
25. Gegege—1,25
26. Dragonball—1,23
27. Doraemon—1,15
28. Famicom Jump—1,10
29. Lode Runner—1,10
30. Adventure Island—1,05

>>3707356
Because Zelda was for most part a FDS game. The cartridge version came out a lot later.

It also has great graphics and one of the best soundtracks on the NES.

I think it was the other way around. Shatter Hand was made first, then adapted a tv-licensed game in Japan

>>3707246
Both were developed at the same time. IIRC there is barely 2 months between the release of the two games, which at the time between regions, is nothing.

>>3707154
If you've got the space and a buddy (or a dolly/strong constitution) then go for it.

>>3707156
>(or a dolly/strong constitution) then go for it.

I remember finding a Mitsubishi 36" CRT by the road around 2008 I carried that fucker for one mile until I got home.

>>3707158
I'll take "Things which never happened" for ten please, Alex

Yet Postal Redux is still not on GOG

>>3707085
OK

>>3707085
Source port when? This game really needs better controls. I would play redux instead but
>Unreal engine

dosbox, maybe

>>3706927
I don't think it's a DOS game, though.

>>3707316
You can install Windows in DOSbox but video drivers may not work. There is a significant gulf of games that neither work in DOSbox nor in modern Windows using compatibility mode that's why a lot of us have retro PCs.

>>3706898
Those are the region lock prongs, right?

To stop Americans from importing SFC or PAL SNES games. Few were interested in anything SFC because most of it is as the BBS console scene guys of the time would term as "unplayable." PAL shit had lockout chips after awhile so it was mostly an exercise in pointlessness.

>>3706907
so you could have actually played PAL games on that thing if those stoppers weren't there?

no, as the n64 was shite at 2d, not to mention the atrocious muffled music and sfx.

>>3706859
probably i mean Rakuga Kids ran at 60fps. I might have been blurry tho. Crapcum just sux and didnt see any revenue from a port to a kids system.

Is this some Buck Motherfucking Rogers?

>>3706561
Hellz yeah, motherfucker. Countdown to Doomsday, with the most horrifying first quest I've ever seen. The sequel introduced Stage FOUR ECGs.

>>3706532
That thing behind him looked like a Gamecube from the thumbnail.

>>3706503
With the original gb player the game plays slightly faster then normal. The japenese Gamboy player 2 fixed that

Watch the video from the gaming historian.

>>3706548
Yeah, but is <1% of a difference really worth $50?
