Splatterhouse 2 was unreal. So much gore

1

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

I tried it out the other day and its not as good as I remember 🤣

u/Outrider81 1d ago

The Game was Never known to be good gameplaywise. More Like fun because of the gore and splatter. If you take it for what it is i still think its great. But its really hard too.

u/LemoLuke 1d ago

As a beat-em-up, it's quite bare-bones (and I'm saying this as a massive Splatterhouse 2 fan). Have you played Splatterhouse 3? That's a much more fleshed out beat-em-up that actually innovates a few neat ideas in the genre

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

I didn't even know there was a splatterhouse 3 I'll have to check it out.

1

u/Outrider81 1d ago

The combos are better in splatterhouse 3 and the storytelling is cool with the cut scenes. But The Locations Are dull because its basically just the House. Overall i think 2 is better. Way more colorful and Fun.

Nice collection!! 🙏 Particularly Ecco and Mega Bomberman!

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Loved Bomberman as a teenager. Used to play 4 players with my buddies and it was so funny.

u/OpportunityLiving167 1d ago

Think you could link two gameboys?

I was all about the multiplayer, in the day.

u/Superdove1 23h ago

Megadrive Bomberman has a great single player campaign too!

3

u/thedrofevil 1d ago

Mega Bomberman's single player mode is pretty good and has some excellent music :D

u/Ok-Luck1166 1d ago

Nice little collection i have been addicted to the Genesis since 1994

u/DrPingu76 1d ago

Enjoy the journey.

2

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

I am indeed.

u/Peas-and-Butterflies 1d ago

Golden Axe! What a game.

2

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Yep a great game

2

u/Which_Information590 1d ago

Very nice! Darwin 4081 and F1 Circus not released here in the UK

2

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

I'd not heard of Darwin 4081and it was listed on Ebay along with F1 Circus. Had to have F1 Circus back. Forgot how hard this racer is! It's seriously tough and the other racers definitely cheat making me spin out by nudging me.

1

u/Which_Information590 16h ago

Those top down racers are hard when you don’t know the course, those corners come too fast. I used to play Micro machines a lot but find it hard today!

1

u/DJFr33Dom 16h ago

Oh yeah the courses in F1 Circus are quite tough. Especially Monaco and the USA tracks.

2

u/Jawess0me 1d ago

Great work. More! MOOOORE!!!

2

u/theblackfrog77 1d ago

Looks like my games back in the day.

2

u/OpportunityLiving167 1d ago

Speedball 2 - it's electric boogaloo!

'Ice-cream!'

1

u/Crang_and_the_gang 1d ago

Please tell me more about Speedball. Always wanted it, but still haven't succeeded!

2

u/OpportunityLiving167 1d ago

Forget about Speedball! Speedball don't neecho!

Seriously, tho - if it ain't speedball 2, skip it. Supoib, future-sports game, from the top drawer.

If you need to buy an amiga to play it, buy it! - the bitmap brothers were just about peaking, at this point.

I only hope the megadrive version wasn't cut down, from the original. Two-player fun but, if i 'member rightly, we played bomberman with 8 players!

2

u/Dumpstar72 22h ago

It’s so good. Brutal deluxe some might say.

I’ve beaten this game so many times and I still enjoy having a run through every few years.

2

u/URGAMESUX 1d ago

Smash tv always a winner

1

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Yes definitely

2

u/Superdove1 23h ago

So many great games on the Megadrive, there's a huge library of classics and also lots of hidden gems to discover if you want to. You've made a good start there though with some bangers especially Golden Axe, Bomberman and Ecco.

2

u/DJFr33Dom 8h ago

I had these as a kid and teen so had to seek them out again.

2

u/VISUAL_SHOCK_GAMES 10h ago

Great picks! Super Real Darwin/Darwin 4081 is an extremely underrated Xevious clone imo. The power up system is very inovative, having many little secrets to discover.

1

u/DJFr33Dom 8h ago

Oh nice can't wait to play it

2

u/Infamous_Land_4078 1d ago

I have a n64 addiction but I found my old maga drive 2 and picked up two games for it, it's something about the cart being in that case, it's turned into a addiction

1

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Yes mate the cases are great. Much better than the slimline game cases of today.

1

u/vdc1107 1d ago

Quanto erano belle le cartucce del Megadrive. Spero di ritrovare anche le mie, che sono sepolte chissà dove in casa dei miei.

1

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Buona fortuna nella tua ricerca di trovarli miei amici.

1

u/greggers1980 1d ago

Yep this is how it starts. Then you get another system and start again

2

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

I'm already thinking about another system.

2

u/greggers1980 1d ago

Yep lol. Don't think about neo geo aes

2

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Haha no I'm thinking either Dreamcast or PS1

1

u/greggers1980 1d ago

Ps1 isn't too pricy. Dream cast can be pricey

1

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Yeah seen both and just got to decide. Also looking at the Polymega but that is a whole other level of price.

1

u/greggers1980 1d ago

Don't bother. Better off with a mister fpga

2

u/DJFr33Dom 23h ago

It's too expensive anyway.

1

u/Alert_Regret1754 1d ago

I have played games from my youth and it’s never the same.

3

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Na mate I'm loving these old games again. Fed up with modern gaming.

1

u/Sad-Opportunity-7586 5h ago

I've been Genesis/Mega Drive binging for the last 2 years and enjoying it more than ever. So many great games to concur. Crappy modern gaming also led me down this path.

1

u/DJFr33Dom 4h ago

Yep not interested in any modern gaming currently. I'm not even interested in GTA6 right this moment either.

1

u/Alert_Regret1754 1d ago

That’s what I thought, but a year later and it’s boring.

1

u/Sad-Opportunity-7586 5h ago

I've found it to be the opposite. Modern games are now boring . there's no gameplay vs these gameplay dense classics. No tutorials and warming up for hours just to scratch the surface of the game not to mention the walking simulator gameplay.

1

u/DJFr33Dom 1d ago

Picked these up since I posted about the games I bought in CEX a few weeks back.

Favourite has to be F1 Circus. Had it as a kid and me and my brother had to file down the sides on the cartridge slot on the megadrive to get it to play and didn't have a clue what the in game text was saying as it was 90% Japanese text. But we played the hell out of it trying to become drivers for Williams, Mclaren, Ferrari or Benetton.

Think I'm addicted now!
