StormSurge Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I knew it looked familiar but I couldn't place it. The second clue sealed the deal. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosweargamer Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 This is fun. Thanks Rick! I was hoping you all would like it. I've seen similar games played on facebook and I myself played similar games on the Retro League forums and wanted to bring something similar with my own little spin here. I plan to post another screenshot tomorrow!

nosweargamer Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 It looks familiar, but I don't know what it is. My guess is most retro gamers have seen this before. It's a pretty well known game.

Now that Starbuck66 said After Burner 2, I remember seeing something that looked like that on the title screen. I've played it before, but it's been awhile. I'm gonna go with that. nosweargamer 1 Quote https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp_iJmaoVpbqFDcewhi_aqA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game was one of the first Genesis games I played, and it's still a top 3 title for me on the system. Can't wait to see your review of it! I have the 3D version on my 3DS as well; it's been worth every penny :-) StormSurge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see your review of it! Review is up, but warning, I'm not a big fan of it (I like this type of games in the arcade, but no so much at home). I hope you can forgive me...

RickR Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 This one is obviously not a game at all -- it's the world famous Portland Airport carpet: jmjustin6, DCG, Starbuck66 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck66 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Review is up, but warning, I'm not a big fan of it (I like this type of games in the arcade, but no so much at home). I hope you can forgive me... I think the worst thing about the review was that Pit Fighter was ranked above it on your list. Pit Fighter? For real? Other than that you gave it a fair shake, although I would say the soundtrack isn't just solid, its amazing! I get goose bumps when I hear the take off music! I think what helps cement this game so high for me though was the "console arcade" next door to my house had two of these hooked up to two Sega Genesis consoles: I think if you played After Burner II on one of these you might have more appreciation for it The first thing I would do when I went there was find this game on the shelf, pop it in, sit down in one of these, and kick some Halvarian ass! (although with the cold war being so recent I was still thinking it was the Russians) RickR and nosweargamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
