So many from the early Genesis days.

Sword of Vermilion seemed so cool back in the day.

Double Dragon. Thug walks up to woman, punches her in the gut, and walks away carrying her on his shoulder. The only version that I know of that doesn't have this cut scene, for obvious enough reasons, is the VCS/2600 version.

That's another one for the simple but incredibly effective column.

I don't know, it seems pretty vague with "hidden house". I can see why the localizators may have thought it was the same house.

Also is it me or earlier games were more likely to attempt scaling? I guess the moment the SNES came out everybody got the mentality that they shouldn't bother trying it on the MD.

Panzer Dragoon is still the best for me (love the camera angles)

Good call. For all the flak III gets, its intro song should have been the theme to the entire Phantasy Star series...

I read the first part and was about to post that video, then realized you already posted it.

The best song in the entire game is this one (arranged version).



Good part starts at 2:36.

I still love the original Wild Arms:
