Going to bust into it this weekend.
It's OK, not the best IMO after aging. I mainly got it because I'm a sucker for Wolf Team and I like the US Renovation releases.

Haha, yeah, Wolf Team love is why I'd give it a second chance.
TBH most of their games are not technically that good but they just have some kind of odd charm that I dig. My personal favorite is El Viento!

Totally. I haven't had the chance to play much of El Viento, but I'd love to pick up the MD version. That art is perfect. Same with Anette Futatabi. They're both super expensive though. (I do have my eye on a loose MD cart of El Viento for $80ish though)
I have a separate special place in my heart for both the amazing Japanese covers and the so deplorable they're great US ones.

El Viento is awesome. It's not really polished, but that's part of the appeal. It's rough and weird and unique. Shame about Anet Futatabi and Earnest Evans, though.
Oh man, Wardner. That's an obscure Genesis pickup. I love how Mentrix, the American publisher, existed just long enough to put out three games and then vanished. They might have been a branch of Visco, but no one seems to know for sure.

I actually found out about Wardner though YouTube, too obscure for me to know about back in the day. It's a pretty dope game if you like platformers. I'll have to read up on Mentrix, thanks for the link!
I love the atmosphere of Earnest Evans, and how ahead of the time they were trying to be with physics, but El Viento is way more playable.

Very nice. I only recently sold my Bionic Commando on Amiga. Your one looks more recent than the one I had. Mine was in a small jewel style case. I'm sure it only had one disc too.
I'm actually looking for the arcade pcb of Bionic Commando. It was time to upgrade!

@-SD- Those Wonder Boy games are excellent. I finished the Dragon's Trap and I'm in the last zone/area of the Cursed Kingdom.
I know a bunch of us have received our Kraut Busters. Here's my standard MVS Ed.
So far it's a very fun game. Worth having if you can stomach the price tag.

Nice, some heavy hitters wyo, congrats!! Captain Lang & Chelnov had the same staff, both are great, though Lang may be one of the hardest platformers I ever played, don't underestimate it. The Pengo MD exclusive mode is excellent, too.

Had a little spendy spendy. Excuse the kitchen shot; only place that has much direct lighting atm.
Fuck I love that Bomberman multitap. If you can somehow find six other people to play Saturn Bomberman with you then do it. It’s even better than just looking at how adorable it is.
Shame it’s one person short of eight though. If you play nine or ten player then it forces you onto a map which, in my opinion, is too big to be really enjoyable. With eight people you can still play the smaller maps which makes for a more frentic and hysterical game.
