Short (or Easy) games on the Genesis

the power rangers beatemup isn't short, or maybe it's so poorly designed that it just feels like it takes forever :p

iirc it was easy though, maybe infinite credits?

I disagree. It is extremely short.

Not as good as those, but really solid.

It is NOT easy but in fact the hardest Genesis game of all. You have to beat it on the hardest difficulty to get an ending which no one ever did I assume.

No one did it because it's such a crappy port :p

That may be right but no one did it because no one is able to.

I believe there is some sort of bug that actually makes the game unwinnable on the hardest difficulty.

Someone at TASVideos was able to beat The Punisher quite easily using tool-assisted play, so in theory at least it can be done.

I would try to achieve it if it wasn't such a turd in terms of gameplay.

I'm not that familiar with the arcade or the port, but I was under the impression that the gameplay was one area the Mega Drive port got right (actually the sound isn't too bad either IMO). What's it missing?

It plays terrible, the controls are pretty bad, combo system is broken, the AI acts differently, it's essentially another game, kinda like Final Fight SNES but even worse. This was a Software Creations port after all, i wouldn't mind the graphics/sound at all if the gameplay was good, but sadly it isn't.

Am I doing it right?

Contra Hard Corps is short and easy? Are you out of your mind???? LOL

*whoosh*

But yeah some people seemed to be trying to suggest the hardest games on the system on purpose. Amusingly though Battletoads is much easier on the Game Gear - getting hit in the bike section only makes you lose one health point instead of instantaneously losing a life. Why didn't they do that on the NES?! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
