Oh yeah the animation on that is brilliant. Done by the Disney animators! Haven't played that in decades.

Yeah, that is a good one and the Lion King one too iirc.
The tricky part is finding like only-for-Genesis games bcz most of the ones that were also released on SNES were much better on SNES (are there any exceptions to this? Besides maybe some extra blood in Mortal Kombat or something?).
All the Sonics are C as fuck though

the original Mortal Kombat was much better on Genesis

The Genesis Castlevania is the best of the series imo. Fastest play, smoothest controls, and great graphic gimmicks that put Mode 7 to shame. Plus you travel around Europe! The music is way better than the SNES one as well, which is no small shakes.
Apparently the Contra is great too but i haven't tried it.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 27 June 2013 22:20 (ten years ago) link
the sound chip for the genesis is the same as the yamaha dx-7 iirc, so it sounds better than most snes music — but the snes games had better composers working on them.

balcony gardening, experimenting with exotic plants botrh there and on my windowsill but not sure how far I'm getting. long islamic shirts from a charity shop in walthamstow. wish I had a more local outlet. Indian Takeaways on a Sunday from a stall on St Nicholas lane,.especially Chana Saag which I really need to learn to make myself. various psych bands from the freak valley festival. cos they're being dimed. Flashback! number 3 cos I just got it recently and its as good as the first 2Mighty Baby's Jug of Love which I was reminded to get by reading the long article on them in the above Flashback! 3Loop A Gilded Eternity the 2009 Reactor version, wondering if it's going to get a UK re-release since they're reforming. Dead Sea Apes, looking forward to the collaboration with Black Tempest. But Dead Sea Apes themselves are very interesting atmospheric instrumental band. Not sure how they view the idea of post-rock but some people might fit them in with it. Grateful Dead May 1977 still pretty decent at the point and thankfully I haven't come across much Disco Dead so far. Really not into that aspect of them, they were a fantastic improvisatory rock group though. learning more and more Autocad, though not sure how well I'm doing at the moment. Really hoping i get it together by September. Got a set of exams week after the one just about to start which I'm not looking forward to at all.
not into landlords who suddenly decide to change over bin collections when you've had the same set up for all the time you've been in a place through at least 4 landlords. & you have payment sorted which it won't be if anything goes wrong with this. Or needing to get it on paper that the payment is being sorted by the landlord so he doesn't just change his mind a little down the line.
