I know just what you mean. There's just this strange feeling of
arcade nostalgia you get when you play TG16 games. It's really weird
but, cool too! SideArms is my fav as I used to play it at the arcade
every chance I got! Lately I've been playing the Altered Beast port
and even though the game wasn't as good as it could have been -I
think Sega had that done on purpose so that the Megadrive version
would have less competition-, I still enjoy it greatly and I just
can't seem to get enough of it!
