Dragon : Bruce Lee enflamme la Master System… ou presque

Posted on by
Reply

La vie de Bruce Lee fut portée au cinéma en 1993, dans Dragon : The Bruce Lee Story, un film de Rob Cohen. Il fut adapté en jeux vidéo sur quasiment toutes les consoles 8/16 bits du moment (et la Jaguar). Mais le version Master System est très différente : là où les versions >16 bits reprennent les grands ennemis du film et se présentent donc sur la forme d’une succession de duels à 1 contre 1 (Bruce Lee contre un CPU), la version sms est un vrai jeu de plateforme, où il faut bien sûr cogner du méchant.

My Little Pony Megadrive : it takes all sorts to make a world…

Special edition ! 80’s forever ! If I say “My Little Poney” ? These small animals (to hairdress) are unforgettable ! They have been released in 1981 and were a tremendous success, eclipsing the classical Barbie.

When I was playing LEGO for hours, dreaming on a game console or stealing the Saint Seya figurine of my friends, my girl mates was playing with the long, multicolored and brushable hairs of theses creatures.

Seriously, is there any link between these ponies and my humble blog ? Yes !

I was browsing eBay – like usual – after a click on my finder (an american sms game probably). And I found this :

Crystal's Pony sur Megadrive/Genesis

A Genesis game (US Megadrive) starring a “Cristal Pony”… Wow ! Only released in USA I think, this game had to be in my collection ! 🙂

If you want to k. Le jeu propose en outre la possibilité remarquable de choisir les couleurs du poney que l’on va contrôler tout au long du jeu. Marvelous. D’ailleurs, pour savoir à quoi ressemble le jeu, voici une vidéo (de 9 minutes certes, mais c’est le temps nécessaire à l’auteur de la vidéo pour finir le jeu) :

For the fans, a scan of the insert in a pretty good resolution (I have a 20 MB file for the hardcore fans) :

I have even found the original opening theme of the animated TV serie (chown on TF1) in french :

Musha Aleste… a legendary title, that many consider as THE best shoot on Megadrive ever. Acronym for Metallic Uniframe Super Hybrid Armor, it was only released in Japan and USA. This game is a star of imports.

Vertical shoot with a complex gameplay, it deserves all the honors of a european version :

It is not magic but cartmodding : a original megadrive game cartridge is opened and dismounted. A new ROM is placed inside. The insert and game sticker are to be created from scratch. So, you will get a rare game (never released in a country or slighty modified) in a true Megadrive cartridge, compatible with your original hardware.

You are ready to feel a whole new experience with your european Megadrive !

Nostalgia sequence : “plug me on a SEGA !”

I could not resist to share with you an old french TV ad for the Sega Master System console. It was the first ad I saw for this system, actually splitted in two parts. This is the second one (I am still looking for the first). Here is a short word-to-word translation : “it’s me again, you haven’t not plug (connect) me yet. So, be kind/cool, plug me on a SEGA !”. Souvenirs, souvenirs !

The Ghost Who Walk

“Become the 24th Phantom and save Metropia!” What a mission ! Inspired from a comic of the 30’s (author : Lee Falk), Phantom 2040 takes place in the 21st century, in a world owned by big companies, divided in “state cities”. The robots replaced humans in many tasks, and Maximum Corp, the local Nasdaq evil, even produces combat robots for some illegal activities. So we will have to shoot tons of them

This game is pretty difficult and adult : it is a Metroid-like in a noir and complex universe. It is directly adapted from the tv serie, so you will find all the main characters. This game is a treasure, even if people forget it. Released in 1995 on Game Gear, Super Nintendo and Megadrive, you should try it !

Here is my personal copy 🙂

Sunset Riders : the Far West by Konami

Seeking for 16bits sensations with shooting, collaborative and high scores ? So, you should know Sunset Riders for Megadrive (a Super Nintendo version exists). No ? We fix that right now.

Sucessfully adapted for the arcade title (even if 4 players were originally supported), this game places you into the Clint Eastwood’s and Terence Hill’s Far West. There will be blood ! At the menu : lady rescue and WANTED bad guys capture.

The game is a bit short, but really fun !

Streets of Rage !

Streets of Rage, voilà un titre de légende ! Cet excellent jeu 2D proposait de nettoyer un ville de divers gars (et fifilles, et… autres) louches à grands coups de poings/pieds/têtes. Un concept simple, jouissif à deux, que vous pouvez retrouver dans des titres comme Double Dragon ou Final Fight. Streets of Rage porte la marque de SEGA, et reste un des titres phares de la Megadrive (notamment grâce à l’équipe de développement qui fut à l’origine de Shinobi, un autre monument), et pour certains – dont moi – LE meilleur beat-them-all de tous les temps !

Cependant, il ne faudrait pas oublier les 2 excellentes conversions de Streets of Rage sur Master System (et sur Game Gear).

Streets of Rage 2 est difficile à trouver sur Master System, et présente une variation de sa jaquette intéressante :
