@gpowerf I grew up on the #Atari2600 and played the hell out of a lot of games, but non of them blew me away in the way that the next gen consoles did .. so.
This week @miona is BACK for VGM Wednesday! Welcome back!
She comes at us with a fantastic theme of "Super Sixteen Bit."
From the Genesis / SNES era, one of my favorite beat 'em ups is Comix Zone. For those who never played, it tells the story of a comic book artist who gets pulled into his own comic by it's main villain. He then has to fight from panel to panel to survive. It's cool and has a 16-bit rock inspired soundtrack.
Still working hard on Chords. We will have an update video soon. It won't show any new locations (We don't want to show you the entire game in previews!) 😅 BUT it will look significantly different! #SegaGenesis#MegaDrive#Homebrew#IndieDev#IndieGame#SGDK#Chords

I know I’ve been in a “retro games are great I miss those simpler times we have to go back” mood as of late, but I broke out the Mega Sg to play Columns III and Mega Bomberman with my wife and twins, and we all had a super fun time.
I really wish #MegaDrive had more casual-friendly 4-player games.

I think a few sport games like NHL, Madden were also for 4 players and NBA Jam. Idk how old your kids are and if you are into fighting games, but Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 as well.
You can also have fun with 2 player games and changing after each level or something like that. Then there would be more choice.
I got two new 6 button retrobit controllers for my #sega#megadrive. They worked for an hour, then both died at the same time after I resetted the game. Then I got an original Sega 6 button controller. Worked fine for 2 days, then button X died. Now I'm wondering if the controllers are such junk or my Mega Drive is killing them. Is that even possible? I measured the ports during a reset and couldn't find anything unusual there. #retrocomputing#retrogaming#genesis#segagenesis
