  • That’s a great list! I disagree with SNES holding up better though. For RPGs yes, but anything else you better go Sega.

    I want to suggest some more great Mega drive games:

    Haunting starring Polterguy

    General Chaos

    Mutant League Football

    Subterrania

    Desert Strike, Jungle Strike

    Ranger X

    Flink

    Shining Force 1 and 2

    Flashback

    Skeleton Krew

    Shadowrun

    Wonderboy n Monster World

    Skitchin

    Phantasy Star 4

    All the Ecco games, even Ecco Jr which is just very relaxing to sit and play through


  • I’ll suggest some great games on master system, I could go on all day about Sega.

    Sonic. The 8 bit version is not a port of the 16 but game, it’s a master system exclusive and I’ve always liked it a bit more.

    Wonderboy in Monster Land. It’s true Wonderboy 3 is a better game, but it also has a stellar modern remake. Monster Land for me is the Wonderboy go to if I’m during up the SMS. And Monster World for mega drive of course.

    Asterix. Just my favourite game when I was a small kid. Pretty much just perfect platforming and if you loved Asterix comics it’s really cool to see it as video games.

    Golvellius. An action-adventure, I guess you can liken it to early Zelda games with top down perspective and since side scrolling. Pretty hard but good fun.

    Lucky Dime Caper. Another platformer, but Sega killed at making these perfect. It’s Donald Duck.

    The Ninja. Top down, like, shooter, I don’t know what the genre is called. Like Ikari Warriors/Commando/etc. but actual fun and really good. Needs strategy, quick reflexes and hunting secrets.

    Fantasy Zone 2. My favourite shmup on the system, better than the first one for me. It’s a cute em up. There’s also Fantasy Zone The Maze which is a somewhat Pacman like game set in this world. I played that a lot too, definitely fun and good in 2-player.

    Super Monaco GP and World Grand Prix are the racing games I like. 8 bit racing games are simple, but they’re fun.

    Tazmania. Another great platformer, this one has Taz from looney tunes. This is streets ahead of the 16 bit version and it’s not even close.

    Cloud Master. A shmup I used to love. Going back now I can barely beat the first stage and it has some slowdown so YMMV.

    Double Dragon. The beat em up for master system. Looks great. Plays, fine, hit detection is a bit wonky but it’s not bad. Great translation of the arcade game.

    Robocop vs Terminator. Great on both Sega systems.

    Aztec Adventure. Like Golvellius, it’s a bit early Zelda like, much more straight forward though. You can bribe some enemies to help you which is interesting mechanic.








  • it will always be a problem with native games.

    I think it was about 5 years ago, the Terraria team Linux dev left. Something happened that stopped the Linux build launching, and the native version was not playable until they got a new Linux dev in the team. Proton version worked flawlessly with more stable framerate.

    As far as I know the native Undertale build is still unplayable. If it is working now, well it wasn’t for about 6 years.

    I see people get excited about native game builds, that’s great but unless it’s a very dedicated team that will update the game constantly it seems to be is no use.
