The rest of my package came today!

I got all these for $13 total.

King Of Fighters R2, NGP

Fatal Fury First Contact , NGP

SNK Gal Fighters, NGP

Metal Slug First Mission, NGP

I've tried only King of Fighters, but after ten minutes I was like "Holy Moley what did I get myself into. This game is beyond good." This Pocket Color keeps wowing me left and right.



First Up for RRW Day 2 was Sonic CD.

Sonic CD

Sonic CD brings back fond memories. I owned the PC version, and it is actually the first Sonic game I ever beat. it's different, a bit trippy, but every time you play, you get something different. there' just too many variations, past, present and future time lines for each level, that you can't get the same experience twice. I own this on Sonic Gems, and last year i got a complete SEGA CD copy, in excellent condition, for dirt cheap. Today i played the original SEGA CD version.

Did you know?
-"After the release of Sonic the Hedgehog, Lead Programmer Yuji Naka had grown dissatisfied with the rigid corporate policies at Sega, so he moved to the United States to work with the Sega Technical Institute. Incidentally, a large number of the original design team of Sonic also left for the U.S., to help instruct the American developers. With half of Sonic Team and two of its most important creators present, the Sega Technical Institute eventually got the job to develop Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Meanwhile in Japan, Sonic CD was handled by a separate development team, headed by Sonic creator Naoto Ohshima. Initially, as revealed in interviews and magazine clippings [1], Sonic CD, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System and Game Gear were supposed to be the same game. However, during development, Sonic CD evolved into a vastly different type of game. Eventually, the gameplay of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 would be favoured for the future games, but this explains why the theme and handling of Sonic CD are different, as well as the use of most of the original Sonic the Hedgehog's sprites for Sonic. The time posts also had sprites similar to Knuckles' Chaotix. However, some vestiges of the original tie-in remain.

Sonic CD was released after Sonic the Hedgehog 2 but before Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Some fans believe the story of Sonic CD either takes place before Sonic the Hedgehog 2 or after Sonic & Knuckles due to the fact that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 takes place where Sonic the Hedgehog 2 left off. However, due to considerable delays and a few easter eggs, it is apparent that Sonic CD was supposed to launch at the same time, if not before, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.' - Wiki

The Amazing Spider-Man VS. The Kingpin

First time playing this game for the SEGA CD and I was surprised. I didn't expect the animation cutscenes, the music, and well, I heard it was pretty good for a spider-man game, and it is! You get this huge overworld map, and you track down bad guys eventually leading to Kingpin himself. Spider-man himself is more agile then in other 2D games, which is a instant plus.

Did you know?

-This game has various ending based on what you do. Bosses also change position on the map every time you start a new game.

Afterburner II

This game for the Genesis has quickly become one of my favs. every time I play I get farther and farther. playing it on my SEGA nomad, is awesome because it really seems to draw you in on a smaller screen.This is a game that everyone should try. I got pretty far today, the farthest I've been yet. i need to keep a score chart on this game.

Did you know?

-After Burner II was originally planned to have a World War II theme and make it a realistic flight sim but was dropped because Yu Suzuki states that "It would not have fit the arcade scene." A pure dogfighter was not his intention.

-It is the game John Connor is playing before he is chased by the T-1000 in Terminator 2. (Arcade version of AFII)

-Shenmue II features a full playable version of After Burner II. (Arcade version of AFII)

Well, see you tomorrow all!
