Sounds like the US version ;)

It got a good laugh out of me. :p
It might be because of a personal preference, but Sonic CD is one of the greatest platformers of all time as far as I'm concerned. I'm not the only one who feels like this, but I am aware that there are those who don't really "get" Sonic CD. Maybe you are one of them? I thought of putting Bonk1 vs. Sonic one, but I think Sonic would've destroyed Bonk, so I wanted to think of a different platformer that was both fun, but privative. I thought it was a decent match. Although I do like Bonk quite a bit, I enjoy Alex Kidd almost equally. Bonk's Revenge, on the other hand, would've destroyed Alex for me. Maybe Kid Chameleon or Decap would've been a better match-up?Quote:
Also, Why didn't you pair up Sonic CD with Bonk. Sonic CD to Drac X seems like a weird comparison/vs.
I think we feel the exact same on this one. What if I'd put TFIV instead?Quote:
- Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle < Bonk's Adventure: No contest, really.
- Thunder Force III < Gate of Thunder: God, this is a super hard one. Both are my favorite. For now, it's GOT, but it could go TFIII any other time.
They are both shitty games!Quote:
- Fighting Masters < Fighting Street: I guess Fight Street because I have history with it. But that's not really fair since it IS a shitty game.
Agree on Ys, but to be honest I really do like Thor a lot. I kind of wondered if this being a Sega board would affect this one.Quote:
- Beyond Oasis < Ys Books I&II: Ys all the way. Never cared for BO (pun intended ;) )
Totally disagree! Sonic CD, along with Sonic 3 & Knuckles, are the absolute pinnacle of the series for me (including SA and everything after). In fact, when pop in a Sonic game (usually a couple times a month), it's either Sonic 1 (for a short round) or Sonic CD (if I have a bit more time).Quote:
- Sonic CD < Dracula X: Rondo of Blood: No contest. I'd take the original Sonic over Sonic CD. Sonic CD feels like a fake/rip off Sonic game (and not a good one at that).
Thanks for the good post, btw. It's interesting to see why people pick the games they do.
Bonk's Adventure>Alex Kidd. Nothing needs to be said.
Gate of Thunder>Thunder Force III. Two awesome games, but Gate of Thunder is the better game.
Fighting Street<Fighting Masters Fighting Masters is the smaller pile of shit.
Ys>Beyond Oasis Thor's awesome, but Ys outclasses it.
Dracula X>Sonic CD These two are two of the best on each console, but Dracula X has more replay value to me.
PC Engine (Goddammit, why didn't that Turbo CD guy get back to me?)
Megadrive, more games what interest me :3
PC Engine easily won in on the market, if you want to take that perspective. (I'm assuming the MD and PCE names implied the Japanese market)
Lords of thunder t16 version wins over SCD
My vote goes for the PC Engine since the only game you listed for it that sucks is Fighting Street, as for the Genny games listed this time I'm just not a big fan of Alex Kid in The Enchanted or Fighting Masters
I honestly don't get the love for Alex Kid. It almost looks like an 8-bit platformer and the gameplay is rather stale, even for its time.
I like Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, even if it is overly simple.
PC Engine for Dracula X. Awesome game!
I thought Sonic CD would've held up better, to be honest. Maybe Sonic 3 & Knuckles would've put up more of a battle?
Well, some of the 8-bit installments, especially Miracle world are often considered better games, so that could be part of it...
Then again, some consider several of the 8-bit sonic games better than the 16-bit ones. (less common though, probably not least because of how less well known they are and how it's often the GG incarnations people are familiar with -which are killed by the small screen window)
