And so it begins.......

After seeing the gorgeous box art that accompanies Japanese Mega Drive games, I swiftly picked up a modded Sega Mega Drive console and a few games earlier this month.













I managed to purchase Japanese copies of Gunstar Heroes, Strider, Moonwalker and Batman. Box art is
bold and beautiful compared to their European/U.S counterparts, I'm sure you'll agree. The majority of cover art for the aforementioned regions is nothing short of terrible.
I'm guessing anyone reading this will have heard of the games mentioned above, Gunstar being classic run 'n' gun (developed by Treasure, reknowned for their amazing sprite work), Strider, Moonwalker and Batman being action platformers. I picked up Moonwalker out of curiosity, utterly bizarre but a good time waster all the same. I haven't played Batman due to the fact the cartridge won't fit in my modded PAL console. It also came in a significantly smaller case. I still have much to learn.

Happy gaming!
