D&D WOTES terrifies me. How come a game looks and sounds so good can be this bad? This game supposed to be my dream: Ultima 6 style isometric open world with turn based fights and Eye of the Beholder style first person dungeons with real time fights.

Well, the game is obtuse as hell! There are many secret dungeons with nice treasures but you can't see their entrances. Even if you enter, you have to find secret walls to go through. The game gives you no clue about these walls or traps, they are invisible. Supposedly elves have a chance to find them but pfft...

This game doesn't even give you any direction in order to progress the story. It leaves you to wilderness. So i'm supposed to use a walkthrough and look at maps online, dammit.

Your party starts out extremely weak. They have the accuracy of a 3 year old toddler. Rather than keep watching them missing, you have to grind and level up. But how? Check this out, it's hilarious: you have to equip everyone with bows and slings regardless of their class, then find a dungeon with tough monsters and spam your projectiles from distance because you have infinite ammo... Yeah, you don't even have to see the monster, just send many arrows to the void and enjoy free EXP if there's someone standing there.

There are many methods for cheesing. Magic users are desperate for resting just to recover their spells. But they can spam a wand of lightning. When it's out of charge, all you need to do is save and reload. So it isn't a hard game if you know how to exploit.

Even the small details show the low effort. Bearded female characters. Big dungeons without different walls or indications which makes navigation exhausting (there isn't even an on-screen minimap, you have to open the menu. and it resets when you leave the floor). Dungeon music doesn't even play, you have to disable and enable the music from settings.

I don't want to rant about the story, characters and dialogues. Let's say it's hard to find anything interesting. I can't believe how shallow this game is.

If you're looking for a western RPG where you can create your party and go for an adventure, try Buck Rogers. SSI made it, the guys who made licensed DnD Gold Box games such as Pool of Radiance, Azure Bonds and Eye of the Beholder. Buck Rogers is using the same Gold Box engine. Plus, it's better on Sega Genesis compared to PC version. The biggest downside is graphics and music, it's text heavy.

Hi im new to the sega console. Basically im finding very interested console for my collection on marketplace. But idk is it legit or not? Im provided some pic maybe can help me determine it. Thanks

So, recently i got a sega genesis from a yardsale. I was told it worked, but it didn't come with a game. It's a 16-bit, mk-160000. I looked around in my gargantuan for a old sega genesis game, and found a baseball game that is supposedly 16-bit. The problem is, it doesn't fit. The 16-bit cartridge doesn't fit in the 16-bit sega genesis, the cartridge is too large. I don't know anything about sega genesis, the only sega console i had was a game gear. I don't know if it's fake or maybe just a small display model? If someone who knows about it could help, I'd appreciate it!

I am a huge fan of the "What if?" branches of video gaming history, and I always wanted to see what Hard Drivin' would have looked like on the 32X. I have been playing around with Claude as well as reverse engineering the arcade ROMs to port them to the 32X hardware and take advantage of the two 32X CPUs and the Genesis CPU. Here's a short video of the attract mode. The actual game has full sound, and playing on real hardware (in my case a 32X plugged into a CDX...) runs and handles beautifully.

I feel like VectorMan doesn't get enough love. It was such a unique Genesis game, but Sega has never really brought the series back. They've revived or revisited a bunch of their other classic franchises, so it makes me wonder why VectorMan hasn't gotten another chance. Would you like to see VectorMan come back?

Note: This is not a sales post, merely getting an idea about selling value to MAYBE post on a different sub if I decide to sell.

Good day everyone. So, I've got an extra Genesis and some games, along with an extra Everdrive and a budget HDMI converter. I'm interested in selling it as a lot but I'm not exactly sure how much to charge for it so here's what I have and maybe you fine folks can give me some sort of idea about a fair asking price? I've checked Price Charting but I'd like to hear what other people think.

Item list:

Model 2 Sega Genesis. It's in good shape and I've replaced the reset button

Mega Everdrive Pro with a 64gb sd card

Levelhike HDMI converter

Sonic 2, CIB

Street Fighter II: SCE, reproduction box

Vectorman, reproduction box

Quackshot, loose

X-Men 2, reproduction box

Never had the genesis as a kid, so no nostalgia factor for me

Our family voraciously consumed RPGs on our Sega Genesis back in the day, and since the SMS Phantasy Star 1 was the first game that hooked us on the genre, the series always had a special place in my heart. My dad got us a Genesis very soon after release and I realized later it was because he was so eager to play Phantasy Star 2 and some of the other exciting new RPGs that were released soon after the Genesis came out, such as Sword of Vermillion and Super Hydlide.

When Phantasy Star 3 was released, my mom got it for my dad for Christmas and we cracked into it that day. I was immediately hooked by the ability to choose the path of the game via the marriage\generation system, and it gave the game a lot of replay value.

I know that the game's themes are very different than the more sci-fi oriented predecessors, but there's so many cool elements, and the soundtrack is fantastic. I'm always surprised by how many people I see that love 2 and 4 but won't play 3 and vocally dislike it.

If I didn't still replay it from time to time I might attribute it to sentimentality, but I do still really enjoy it, maybe even more than 2 or 4 which felt like more of a slog, so I'm truly surprised that there's so much negativity toward it!

This game is literal perfection. It has an incredible soundtrack, beautiful pixel art, and smooth controls. What isn't there to love? It's truly THE best beat em up ever created!

Growing up in a developing country, we didn't have the original Sega Genesis - only replicas like the one in this photo. This is my favorite console, and I've held onto it all these years thanks to my grandma. The game collection from the '00s is pretty decent, too. And it still works fine!
