Looks like Aladdin playing interface :).

[Fredriich]

Remember playing this game loads of years ago, and we never made it to the second level... good times.

[SHnumber7]

So good just a massiv 7 up ad, :) but stil awesome.

[iChocolateAddict]

memories :)

[dragonsword777]

Good God.... I remember playing this on Genesis when i was a kid

[MrBraindead1989]

I just couldn't fucking believe it when I saw this shit!!!! This game is a game from my childhood, long since forgotten the name but absolutely awesome nonetheless. Nostalgic as hell actually

[Thetruehypersonic]

stare at the limted pallette capbilites

[janmansde3dede]

@Thetruehypersonic Here's a better one, look up lotus turbo challenge 2 on Amiga and megadrive and after that look up lion heart or stardust, games that simply can't be done on the megadrive because of the limited palette capabilities , this a very lazy port not taking advantage of the Amiga's capabilities because virgin was one of those "professional" game developers that only made games for consoles and didn't care about the amiga. cheers.

@janmansde3dede

are you saying some Amiga/ST games can't be put on Mega Drive ?

because of the limited palette capabilities on the Amiga/ST computer

Lotus Turbo Challenge games were designed for Amiga/ST computers

if the developer used Amiga or ST hardware to create the MD versions

its pointless comparing Amiga and Mega Drive Lotus Turbo Challenge 2

unless Mega Drive version was created using the MD console hardware

[janmansde3dede]

@JasonLee310 I'm sorry, but your comment is so poorly written that I can't understand what you're trying to say, I think you're saying that games graphics are as good as the development machine can handle ? if so than that's wrong, The Amiga was the number one Megadrive development machine because the two are very similar, Sega institute used Amigas to make Kid Chameleon, Sonic 2, 3 & knuckles and even the unreleased Sonic Xtreme for saturn/pc and many more

[JasonLee310]

@janmansde3dede

i'm saying if MD games were designed via the Amiga

it seemed they didn't get the best result out of the MD

as the Mega Drive had the Zilog Z80 8-bit co-precessor

they should've used the ST when developing MD games

MD CPU speed is closer to Atari ST CPU 8 MHz speed

Sega Mega Drive 7.6 MHz CPU and Zilog Z80 3.58 MHz

Amiga 7.09 MHz or 7.16 MHz is too slow for MD console

[janmansde3dede]

@JasonLee310 Second if the supposedly "low pallet" of the Amiga (4096 colors on screen compared to the MD's 64..), then why has Lotus on the MD less colors and looks grainier than the Amiga version ? because of the lower color pallet (512 colors),

The Amiga is graphically superior to the Megadrive which makes loin heart (I highly recommend looking at the lava level of that game) not possible on the megadrive without meeting the same fate as cool spot here on Amiga, monochrome backgrounds.

Ein Stück Kindheit ^^

[Mangoman34alt]

The music on the Amiga sounds very cool.

[piv0tXD]

this game was the best game i ever played on megadrive... i could never get pasted lvl 2 though lol

[ZeekFredric]

Yes, while it's not the best conversion, it beats the portable versions anyway. Especially the gameboy version.

[mario64Xman]

i have to tell i like more this game then mario

[stitch1993]

what is amiga

[gamesmoswcom]

Late 80s to early 90s very good computer for games, with both graphics, sound and playability superior to that time PCs.

[davie732]

Way superior! and i mean way superior!

[DerAmiganer]

Mediocre conversion of the Mega Drive version, they could have done this so much better. But still a good game.

[kingarthurpendragon]

@DerAmiganer Is this a conversion? Not the original one? In general, the games was made first for amiga then converted for Genesis.

[JasonLee310]

@kingarthurpendragon

what percentage of Amiga games were ported to Sega Genesis?

when an Amiga game was converted onto the Sega Genesis/MD

did Mega Drive take advantage of the MD hardware capabilities?

[Gotmilk0112]

@DerAmiganer I'd rather be able to listen to the music when I'm playing. Listening to this video, the game sounds are constantly interrupting the music =/

[piripirifox]

this game was rather good. played it a lot.
