you ARE doing something wrong at the boss stage of "High Seas Havok"= you NEED to attack (press the jump button again once you're on top of his head) to hurt him! once done, move away from him since he'll launch a flurry with his sword and you'll definitely won't want to be close to him when and while (it lasts just 5 real-life seconds) it happens! hope that helps.

I may be incorrect but I think Crossfire was actually an Airwolf game in Japan. Probably got that totally wrong.

Yes you do a "kickflip". Great game.

In Deadly Moves, to do the special attacks, do back-forward, up-down and one forwards motions on the d-pad and press both punch and kick buttons simultaneously. Each character has 2, with the exception of the final boss, who has 3.

Fun(?) fact. The Japanese version of Crossfire was called Super Airwolf, and was based upon the mentioned licensed property.

I can see that!

No one must remember *Burning Force* because it is never covered in videos like this. It was an arcade game, converted for the Genesis, by Namco. Released in 1988/1989, there is no mistaking it being inspired by *Space Harrier* , but it was its own unique game and was a lot more fun. The “over horizon-style” graphics were reminiscent of *3D World Runner* , *F-Zero* , and the afore mentioned *Space Harrier* . The soundtrack was one of the greatest the Genesis ever produced and the simple arcade gameplay was perfectly replicated from its Japan-only coin-op brother. A fantastic Namco game that deserves more memory, *Burning Force* was one of my all-time favorite Genesis/Mega Drive titles, and is still one I go back to, until this very day.

That was one of my favorites too, absolutely fantastic game. I think I've seen a couple of mentions of it in KZread videos but it's strange a game from a company as big as Namco has fallen into such obscurity (though in fairness Namco didn't release a whole lot on Genesis compared to other platforms).

Blades of Vengeance! We did a video on that just the other day (won't be out for a few weeks). It was only the second time I had played it. There is a very well done co-op mechanic where one player can pause and the other player and camera go off and do what they want. I quite enjoyed the graphics and music.

Definitely better than Atari's oddball breakout game called Jinks...

That game Crossfire in Japan was called Super Ariwolf which is a US Live action show called Airwaolf and I recognized that helicopter anywhere. And that Exosquad stuff is kinda odd, at least you know it was based on a US TV animated show that was kinda ahead of its time. Made by Universal Animation Studios and a body count that would make Better Call Saul jealous and a temporary license with Playmates, Universal decided to cancel the show due to low ratings that they set up to happen and Playmates not getting a renewed license and it was about to run out Playmate made a lot of things happen. An odd board game, with 2 PC apps, and this game is made by a developer in Hungary. Hungary had no idea what Exosquad was and was forced to work in the dark with little info on what the show was really about, so they made it about Time travel which has nothing to do with the show, at all. it was a mess.

Exo squad show was ahead of its time.

You should look up the code for Rings of Power. I'm surprised they were able to get away with it.

In High Seas Havoc the second level boss’ hit box is around his face and nose. Also the back of his neck. You would think it would be atop his head but why do that? The current way totally makes more sense, said no one.

Instead of releasing the Genesis in 89 they have made something that could play the arcade games perfectly . Genesis had poor graphics and sound ;it looks great when comparing it to an NES. Games look better on the turbo.

And yet somehow the PC Engine/TG16 versions of Sega arcade games are all much worse than the Mega Drive/Genesis ports. Have you played that hideous mess of a Golden Axe port?

Most of these games looks very average in the grand scheme of things, imo, which is probably why they are largely forgotten these days. Wings of Wor (Gynoug) is the one actual standout in the list for me. And it likely doesn't really need to be on this list, as I doubt people have truly forgotten this one to be honest. It even got a port on modern consoles recently too. I'd actually say this is a bit of a Genesis classic.
