We need a #MegaDriveMay more than ever, so I'm just gonna post a Mega Drive game a day in this thread.

Beginning alphabetically with an all-timer, Alisia Dragoon from GameArts.

Day 3 brings us CURSE, an early mega drive shooter from your friends at Micronet, known for its extremely cool cover art and for not being a very good video game.

Next up is Bare Knuckle II. I'm not a big fan of belt scrolling beat-them-ups, but I am a big fan of Yuzo Koshiro and cool aesthetics.

It's been a long road, but we're finally closing out #MegaDriveMay with day 31 and Konami's 1994 masterpiece, Vampire Killer, aka Castlevania: Bloodlines, aka Castlevania: The New Generation.

#MegaDriveMay Day 13

Namcot's 1990 home port of their 1989 System 2 arcade shooter, Phelios. It's no Dragon Saber but it's pretty dang good imo.

#MegaDriveMay Day 11

IT IS THE 20s AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN MORE TIME FOR KLAX

Puyo Puyo 2, for when two Puyos just isn't enough!

#MegaDriveMay Day 29

I like Tecnosoft's Thunder Force III so much I framed an old promotional retail release poster for it in our living room.

#MegaDriveMay Day 21

Star Cruiser is an exceedingly ambitious and complex space sim that is trying to put a whole-ass Amiga style space sim onto the Mega Drive, and kinda successfully? Wish I could read it though lol.

#MegaDriveMay Day 20

Sega's mega drive port of Falcom's PC-88 action RPG masterpiece, and contender for the title of best logo in all of video games, SORCERIAN. Absolutely criminal that we didn't get this localized tbh.
May 21, 2025 at 1:12 AM
#MegaDriveMay Day 26

We're back in the buttercups again with Magical Tarurūto-kun, a manga-licensed platformer from your friends at Game Freak! It's... Okay.

Is Turbo OutRun the worst one?
Well, when was the last time you saw something good with the American flag on it

#MegaDriveMay Day 8

Granada, from your friends at Wolf Team, who would go on to be absorbed into Namco to become the studio behind a great deal of RPGs titled "Tales of (___________)"
May 9, 2025 at 1:32 AM
#MegaDriveMay is almost over! Day 27

This is the MD port of Toaplan's classic arcade shooter Twin Hawk, as commissioned by Taito.

#MegaDriveMay
Day 6

Darwin 4081, the serviceable home port of the second entry in Data East's string of games using a system that evolved and transforms the player's ship. It's... Fine? A perfectly cromulent shooter. A little low tech and janky, but it's also early for the hardware.

#MegaDriveMay Day 24!

I have a lot of affection for Sega's earliest arcade racing efforts like Turbo and Monaco GP.

Significantly less so, perhaps, for their first-person 16-bit entries like Super Monaco GP, but hey, options were much more limited in those days.

#MegaDriveMay Day 10

The MD port of Toaplan's Hellfire is much like the other versions, in that I want to like it much more than I do. The weapon cycling just feels too clumsy, and frankly Zero Wing is a better attempt at a hori STG imo.
