Great game, didn’t realise it got a game gear version

Yeah, had it got a Master System version that would have been cool too.

Although at that point I already owned a Mega Drive.

The correct answer was indeed Streets of Rage 2. Congratulations again to unleash who got the game spot on.

Also half a point for both Phil and Anthony who guessed Streets of Rage, just not it’s sequel.

Don’t forget to check out this week’s mystery Game Gear title here.

The closest answer this week was Phil with Ristar – although Tom wasn’t too far off with ‘Shooting Star’. The full title of the game was: Ristar the Shooting Star.

The name of the game was absolutely was not Sonic Swingers…

Don’t forget to check out this week’s Guess the Game here.

Some great suggestions… and some not so great ones too. Keep one more day until the answer is revealed.

Probably my favourite megadrive game! Also had the best music on the megadrive too (yes Barry, I mean that!)

Now I know you don’t mean that! The music is good, but I don’t think it’s the best on the system.

Street Fighter would have been a fair guess as the game did establish the character tropes that fed into Virtua Fighter, as well as many other beat’em ups.
Akira is a Ryu surrogate with Pai standing in for Chun-li.

Well it looks like this week was a close one. The game is in fact Virtua Fighter Mini/Virtua Fighter Animation.

So Unleash has gotten it spot on, and both Phil and Tom were pretty much there too.

Some close guesses with Sonic 3D, Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Flickies’ Island. However, this was aMega Drive/Saturn title that used computer generated sprites to give the game that ‘Donkey Kong’ look.

The Game Gear title shown was Sonic Blast. This title used a similar technique to give a 3D style, but played more like a traditional 2D Sonic…[Read more]

Even if they did work, and there’s some work on making light guns run on modern TVs, would you really want to play them on a tiny screen?

IF they did manage to get light guns working, I don’t think that’s the best selection to put on there (other than House of the Dead). Time Crisis would require a pedal to play, and Lethal Enforcers is really…[Read more]

Since I want your ideas, I thought I would start with mine.

For my suggestions I would imagine the following titles are ‘no-brainers’:

Space Harrier
Afterburner (or perhaps G-Loc)
Outrun
Rad Mobile
Virtua Racing

I’m not sure how they’d accomplish these titles with the joystick and six-button setup they have, but they’re seen as being iconic…[Read more]

Some great guesses this week. Keep them coming.

And this week’s winner is…. *drum roll*
Tom.

The game was indeed Defender(s) of Oasis. Philip was close, but not quite with Oasis Defenders 😭

I can only have each console in one category, since the ‘console’ sections are likely to be more popular I’ve put the Switch here instead.
