Can Sega-16 Beat the Last of the Genesis, Sega CD, & 32X Libraries in 2021?

Yeah, by "several years" I meant 2007 and 2005, respectively. I honestly can't recall any special strategies I used to beat either game. Dashin' was definitely the harder of the two, though I seem to recall beating Bugs by the skin of my teeth since the final stage is timed. I beat both of them on their default difficulty settings. The shame about Bugs is that the first couple stages are vividly inspired while the rest are vague representations of the episodes they're based upon; falling back on standard platforming cliches. Never knew it had a reputation of being tough though. I've always considered Dick Tracy, Toki and Battletoads/Double Dragon to be the toughest Genesis games I've beaten.

Surprised no one grabbed Shadow Squadron, I remember vividly buying this game one night at Toys R' Us back in '96. Could never beat that final stage - scarred me as a kid, just too much pressure! Sorry for the poor lighting:

*Are attachments working?

Personally, levels 4 and 5 of Shadow Squadron are a test of endurance; need to be quick on dodging and efficient on conserving fire power. Last level though, it's all about efficiency on destroying the slave units and then guns blazing on the GL bomb. Great tunes to boot! I have one more game up my sleeve, perhaps later tonight... ;)

^Excellent! I can't see your attachments, though -- you probably have to use the method in post #3 ("Manage Attachments", etc.) to make them visible to others.

And yeah, I'm surprised at some of the games that have stuck around undefeated. Robo Aleste? Blackthorne? Master of Monsters? These are some of the more acclaimed titles for their respective systems!

These pictures do not do this game justice. The first time I beat Robo Aleste, I was in awe of the final cut scene as you hover in your mech over the fire and the frame transitions from letterbox to full screen - wow! And the use of colors as the fire goes from reds, oranges, purples, blues, and then the night sky totally captured me. Not to mention the music, easily one of my favorite ending pieces. Very serene.

I love Compile. Simply the best - will never make them like this again...

Attachments working, and kudos for the second victory! :D

IDK who is willing to beat Virtua Racing Deluxe for the 32X but, hey, go ahead.
Please, never feel blocked by the games I've played and didn't complete. I'll complete them when I have time anyway. And it would actually be great to have some other times to compare to mine.
These last weeks I've worked seven days a week, 10-12h each so there's no way I can go back to it right now. I'm sorry for that.

But I encourage people to play the game, it's phenomenal and very challenging (but never frustrating). I'm going for completion in the hardest difficulty which isn't necessary for this campaign, so it has been a bit of a side quest since the beginning... Well, see ya, guys.

^Cool, thanks for checking in! Lync was interested in taking it on, so that's a green light. :)

And sorry to hear you've been having to work so hard, that's never any fun. I hope things improve soon.

I played through Crime Patrol today on the easiest difficulty. Unfortunately it has an annoying system, since the three difficulty modes are called Wimp, Easy, and Difficult, with no Normal or Medium setting. :? We'll see how things go on higher difficulty settings.

Okay, I beat "Easy" on Crime Patrol, which was anything but. I'm pretty tempted to just say that the game's difficulty modes are de facto Easy, Normal, and Hard (vs. the game's Wimp, Easy, and Difficult), even if they have different names -- especially since Wimp is the default -- and call this one beaten.

However, for now I'll keep going and try to beat Hard.

Hey guys, Tempo is finished. Beaten on Normal.

I didn't realize it at the time, but I snapped the first picture before it posted up my score, which was like 84 thousand something.

^Awesome! Another 32X game goes down. :D

Here's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein on the Sega CD:

^It's alive!! :D Awesome.

BTW I can't see your attachments -- probably need the method in post #3. How was the game?

The attachments should be working now. The game is good, albeit short. You'll probably spend most of your time lost in the woods outside the first city, but after that things tend to move along at a quick pace and before you know it you're at the ending.

Attachments working perfectly, thanks. :) I was curious about the game since it's unreviewed here; the Video Game Critic is one of the few to review it, and he pans it completely, but I kinda figured he was being impatient since he doesn't like anything that isn't crystal-clear about how to play it or what to do.
