Mega Drive

Here we have all the games in the Mega Drive Section.

16Bit Rhythm Land (New)

Mega Drive
Rhythm
Famed for its Famicom revival, Columbus Circle turns its fair hand to the 16Bit circuit with impressive results. Based on a rhythm action premise, there are four games; baseball relies on hitting in time to the beat, the Space Invaders style shooting is again in time to the rhythm, the platform action requires jumping hazards to the music and finally the space defense relies on using the shields at the right time and in the right place. Roll on more MD action.

Aladdin

Mega Drive
Platform
Whilst the gameplay is not too cerebral, the fluid animation must rank as some of Disney’s finest in a video game and rivals that of Prince of Persia. A real joy to behold as Aladdin uses his sword and a limited supply of apples to glide through the imaginative, well realised scenarios including the market, desert and castle.
£46.99

Alisia Dragoon (Cart Only)

Mega Drive
Platform
Fantasy platform adventure with game girl Alisia being helped out on her quest to avenge her fathers death by four creatures: a dragon, a couple of reptiles and a ball of fire. The ability to unleash lightning bolts also helps somewhat. As is often the case on the Mega Drive, it received a greater print run Stateside than in Japan due to the Genesis’ runaway success in the US, making the Japanese version the more collectable.
£74.99

Atomic Robo Kid (New)

Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Not your standard shooter as Robo Kid uses a unique firing system and the levels vary from horizontally scrolling to maze type. Sound range of weaponry to rip into the bosses. Feels very fresh: a different kind of blaster with the shadowy jungle level particularly innovative.
£69.99

Ball Jacks

Mega Drive
Puzzle
Unusual action puzzle title where players must use robotic arms to grab balls from your opponent that cascade down the screen. Frantic at times especially as the count down reaches zero.

Boogie Woogie Bowling (New)

Mega Drive
Sports
Ten pin bowling very well represented with the screen split into three: the bottom half showing the progress of the ball against the skittles and to line it up, the top two halves show the remaining skittles and the players avatar. This adds a good bit of emotion to the sport and the set up works very well.

Champions World Class Soccer

Mega Drive
Sports
Arcade style play mechanics with international teams, cat like keepers and prima donna strikers. Simple to pick up and play but very enjoyable as a result.
£7.99

Chelnov

Mega Drive
Shooter
Forced scrolling shooter of legendary fame on the Mega Drive with slick, sharp reflexes a requisite to see more of the parallax scrolling and attention to detail, like the flickering flame lamps, not that you get much time to savour it. Imaginative levels and bosses plus smooth animation with fine scaling make this an all time entry into the vintage Mega Drive vault.
£199.99

Columns III (New)

Mega Drive
Puzzle
Sound puzzle title from a thoroughbred Sega stable that allows up to five player mash ups with a multitap. The Egyptian themed one player mode is fun, but its multiplayer where the action really heats up. Special power ups distinguish this from other Columns titles as special jewels trickle down the screen. These can lower your own playing field or raise up your opponents. Nastier jewels send the screen black and white making distinguishing the colours somewhat tricky, or reverse the controls messing with the min, or even flip the playing field upside down. Overall a fine arcade puzzler.
£31.99

Crack Down (New)

Mega Drive
Shooter
Overhead perspective strategic action blast in which espionage is the order of the day as enemy bases are sabotaged with bombs placed in the correct position within the time limit. Ammo is limited but the emphasis is more on stealth as Konami’s more famous title implemented equally well with varied levels of guard AI. A two player cooperative mode is very cunningly implemented and much more enjoyable than many two player competitive modes.
£44.99

Curse

Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Strangely compelling horizontal shooter in the R – Type mode. Vivid use of colour and jammed with all manner of foe, the cover warns appropriately of the disturbing contents inside. Incidentally this fine cover is from the team who designed the inlay for the Mega CD title Third World War.
£84.99

Darius II

Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Solid conversion of the eternal shmup with some clever parallax. Whilst mutiple routes mean there are only seven levels to get through, the replay value is massive with twenty eight levels to savour. There must have been some catfish in the Taito office at the time judging by all the aquatic themed and highly imaginative enemies you need to take down.

Darwin 4081 (New)

Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Sega performed an admirable conversion of the Data East arcade original in 1990 to boost the software available for its 16Bit baby. Vertically scrolling, power ups make the ship mutate and morph into a more souped up beast.
£69.99

David Robinson Basketball

Mega Drive
Sports
Basketball legend who was named rookie of the year and won gold in Barcelona with a basketball game to live up to his mighty name. Passing is smooth and its soon possible to flow down the court mimicking the speed of the real game. Another string to the sweet sounding Sega sports bow.
£17.99

Dick Tracy (New)

Mega Drive
Action
Captures the prohibition era feel of the gangster flick well as Mr Tracy goes after the mob. The levels scroll along and the tommy gun and old knuckle sandwich are used to progress. But an eye must be kept on underground activity in the background as gangsters take pot shots at our main man. The machine gun is used to take up an into the screen perspective to dish out some rough justice to these shady background scene shifters. Enjoyable bonus levels ensue where the quick witted private eye must distinguish between good and bad in a split second and dispatch one of them using the A, B or C buttons depending on their position. A nice film tie-in.
£47.99

Dino Land (New)

Mega Drive
Sports
Wolfteam adds another genre to its varied repertoire with this pinball game with bold and colourful dinosaur themed graphics. Boss battles add to the intrigue, just watch you don’t tilt your Mega Drive too far.
£54.99

DJ Boy

Mega Drive
Platform
DJ Boy seems to be the sort of character Japanese games companies come up with when trying to create the all American kid with his roller blades and cap on backwards. The game has also tried to capture an all American apple pie flavour but comes out a rather bizarre and entertaining eclectic mix complete with wind breaking bosses and a male stripper. Very entertaining however if you like Japanese slap stick humour, especially the vanquished boss cut scenes.
£34.99

Draxos

Mega Drive
Platform
Popular platform shooting that oozes atmosphere with heavy, leaden skies making up the parallax scrolling. The sprite world is full of rich imagination and the artists were in inspired form with the fantasy bosses and baddies. Known as Risky Woods in the West.
£69.99

Dream Team USA

Mega Drive
Sports
Utilising its smooth flowing NBA engine, EA created a truly dream title with the incredible talents of Jordan, Johnson, Bird, Berkley et al that made up the 92 USA Olympic team. Its possible to select the best of the rest of the world team, but even with the cream of every other nation its tough to match their talents.
£16.99

Dynamite Duke

Mega Drive
Shooter
On the rails shooter where the screen scrolls along as Duke shoots into it like in the Neo Geo classic Nam 75 and I suppose Operation Wolf. Masses of enemy attacks keep the action frantic and frenzied as your Uzi is in near danger of seizing up. A real blast from an arcade expert.
£41.99

Ecco The Dolphin II

Mega Drive
Action
Guide Ecco back to the peace of the pod through turbulent seas with swordfish needing a quick sonar ray to be dispatched and octopuses getting a little too friendly with their tentacles. A fine haul to any Sega collector’s bag.
£29.99

El Viento (Reprint) (New)

El Viento (Reprint) (New)

Brilliant Mega Drive
Platform
Action varies from New York to surfing on the back of dolphins with the green haired heroine able to use an exploding boomerang to repels attacks. Bizarre bosses ranging from a tank to a jelly monster hidden away in a cave. A cult classic well recommended to fans of the Valis series.
£59.99

Eternal Champions

Mega Drive
One on One Beat Em Up
From the glory era of the initial Street fighter II craze that swept the console world came a slick Sega produced scrapper. Introduced a special moves bar that prevents crafty combatants from hammering the special moves too much. So a few combos practised down the training dojo may be the order of the day. Pays great attention to detail with stages having a special finishing move dependant on that areas background. All good fun and adding up to as marvellous martial fest.

Gain Ground

Mega Drive
Action
Full of arcade action in the Ikari Warriors mould, Gain Ground has a good half century of well varied levels taking you through the ages keeping it visually fresh. Plays like a dream in two player with the goal being either to take everyone out in the time constrained levels or to get to the exit. Rescuing a hostage adds another member to your merry band to choose from with often an ace arsenal that goes with them. A real unheralded treat for Sega action fans.

General Chaos

Mega Drive
Action
Tongue in cheek take on a battle game with close hand combat and much more hedged on the action side of the genre. Plays like a large sprite version of Cannon Fodder with Metal Slug like combatants on screen players steam into enemy, or at last to a safe spot on screen. Tactics are required, but the game eases one in gently until you find yourself grenade pin in teeth, machine gun in arm.
