Summer games for the Genesis

[JAFP78]

For me its Turtles Hyperstone Heist, me and my brother got this game in the summer of 1993, altough very easy to complete we just came at it over and over and over again, right after a nice day at the sunny beach

It's too bad Summer Games was never released for Genesis.

I hate summer.

This game has "summer" written all over it. You are a surfer, the game is set in Hawaii and theres lots of beach and hidden ruin scenarios. I really love the design of the first stage.

Battletoads. You're a giant frog running around naked. It's got to be summer.

I'm definitely attempting to beat Ecco the Dolphin this summer. As a kid, I most associate Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II with the summer. If we weren't inside playing these two games, then we were outside pretending to be the characters as we wrestled/fought each other. Good times.

I'm dedicating this summer to Phantasy Star 3 and 4. Never thought in a million years i would like 3, due to it not aging well, but something about it grew on me. Phantasy Star 4 has always been the one game i have always wanted to beat.

Actually..

The six levels cover the Caribbean islands of Grenada, Mustique, Curaçao, Jamaica, Saba, and finally St Vincent.

They do say he's trapped in a parallel universe though.


Just so you know.

^I already called it upstairs.

Well, I bought the game without a manual. Does that serve as an excuse?

[QuickSciFi]

Not really, since this is also all "in game" information. But you're excused.

I know, and it peeked my interest (repped) so i checked wikipedia (which had a rather big entry for such an unknown game)
very interesting, made me watch through a longplay on Youtube (too lazy to play my own copy of it)

Its such a beautiful game for such an early entry in the Genesis lifetime, I always assumed that the game just took place on beaches
and hidden temples, but it turns out that further in the game you go deep sea diving and even visiting the city.
(which is filled with alternate reality people who freak out at you)

Good stuff, seemed they had planned a sequel going by the ending, shame that never happened.
