It's Friday and it's time for another Virtual console update. This week we're all lucky, we get 4 titles to choose from.
The SNES’s success in the console war (it sold like 20 million more systems, that’s a win) meant that many games on the Sega Genesis never got as much positive attention as they should have. Whether they were not well-known or received a poor rating in light of the existence of competing SNES games at the time, some really good games slipped through the cracks.
Comix Zone is criminally underrated. It's definitely on my top 10 list of Genesis games. Landstalker was pretty cool as well along with Beyond Oasis. It felt like Sega's take on LOZ. Made me enjoy the game even more. That and the art style.
Despite hardware limitations, intrepid NES developers were able to make a massive variety of epic shoot-em-ups with gobs of enemies loosing salvoes of missiles and bullets at a hero and—magically—the system handled it all like a champ. Shmups on the NES rarely even experience any slowdown. Amazing!
Yes! That game brings back childhood memories. I didn't have an NES at that time, but a kid who lived at the same apartment complex did and he was pretty stingy with his video games. On a good day he would let me play some of his NES games at his place and Life Force was one I enjoyed playing. My brother and I had an Atari 7800 then a TG16 shortly after
Gun.Smoke was what I always played. Became too much at times with all the enemies and things flying at you from every direction, fun game though.
Crisis force, Gradius 2, over horizon, the three best shooters on the NES for me personally.
Ther 35th anniversary of the NES is finally upon us and it's time to take a look back at the best classics you can play on Switch.
