what is wrong with the sound?

I still don’t understand how my wife loves Disney, loved Castle of Illusion and hated World of Illusion. makes absolutely no sense.

played quite a lot of that list but didn’t vote for any that I couldn’t actually form an opinion on, so:

Aladdin - ace game, remember the magic carpet level being a bit of a bastard but otherwise a great platformer

Altered Beast - my mate had this and I played it a couple of times round his house. did not enjoy.

Alien Storm - weird game, never managed to complete it but think I got to the last level at least. always picked the robot guy and would just self destruct him, which is probably why I never managed to complete the game.

Bubsy - shite

Castle of Illusion - really good, although I had the Master System version first so the Mega Drive one always felt a bit weird to me.

Columns - really liked Columns, remember once getting totally in the zone and absolutely flying through it to like level 70 or something, miles further than I ever managed before, was well chuffed and then bottled it.

Earthworm Jim - properly good game, although sadly I tried to replay it not too long ago and was absolute shite at it, struggled to complete the first level :frowning:

Fifa 95 - played this to death, was great

James Pond: Robocod - I liked this but think I found it too hard or something as my overall opinion is “good but annoying”. did not complete it, no idea if I got close

Jurassic Park - I borrowed this off a mate and did not enjoy it, remember getting to the final boss on both the Raptor and Dr Grant modes and getting fucked up, so was quite annoyed by it

Kid Chameleon - only vaguely remember renting this for a weekend, but I liked it. not enough to buy it or rent it again, but decent

NBA Jam - good game, don’t really like basketball but liked this. always picked the Knicks or Supersonics iirc.

Quackshot - so fucking good. found it insufferable slow when replaying it a couple of years ago though :frowning:

Road Rash 3 - 3 was good, but 1 and 2 were a GBOG. nothing beats someone trying to hit you with a chain, stealing their chain and then knocking them off their bike with their own chain.

Toejam & Earl - really good and the split screen thing was ace. never got very far on it though, was too hard for me.

Toejam & Earl 2 - not as good as Toejam & Earl

World of Illusion - awesome game, either in single player or co-op, still good to this day

World Cup Italia '90 - even back in the day I think this was a bit shit, but I played it loads and found it somewhat endearing, in a crap way.

I can’t play the MD version as it seems too foreign

World cup italia 90 was super endearing, from the music to the celebration screen to the shitty doodle of the world map where you picked your squad

Slight latency. Sounds play ever so slightly later than theyre meant to which can be a bit distracting if you know the games well. Also a little less resolution and depth but compared to other megadrive emulators the sound is good. Megadrive sound hardware seems almost impossible to emulate properly

This is disappointing, I probably would have never noticed but now I know it will bug me. Might just hook up my megadrive 2

Look, it’s got to the stage of the party where it’s all gone a bit mental, the bags have run out and it really just needs a lie down so please be gentle

weird how I totally forgot about that but remembered the celebration image perfectly

italia90

also while looking for the above I remembered the weird alternative angle you got for corners and goal kicks and penalties etc - iirc was impossible to save a penalty when you controlled the keeper
