Konami were the MASTERS of the multi format game!!
SNES and Mega Drive got rich offerings for every franchise with brilliant - but totally different! - games on each machine (and others!!)
And sometimes Europe got bonus changes 😂😂

Here’s a sad story about Jurassic Park
I really wanted the Mega Drive game as I’d heard the SNES one was crap.
But my step-dad - for the first and only time he ever bought me a Christmas present himself! - got me the SNES one thinking they were the same

Imagine a time when different consoles actually had different games!!
It’s a huge reason why 90s gaming was such a rich time - and these mismatched pairs make a perfect #TwoForTuesday!!
Aladdin stands out as it also had different bloody developers! (And MD was better!!)

By 1991 Mega Drive was getting SERIOUSLY good!!
There are loads to pick from but the biggest is in no doubt - it was the year of Sonic!

Course, if you did want a shmup in 1990 you weren’t hard done by!!
(Though it might be cheaper to invent a time machine and go buy MUSHA Aleste in 1990 than to try get it today!!)

By 1990, Mega Drive was getting bloody tasty!!
Wonder Boy III was an arcade back in ‘88 and was also ported to the PC Engine CD - I mainly wanted to include so we didn’t have too many shmups in the thread as they were PLENTIFUL back then!

Thunder Force II wasn’t the best game on MD in 1989 - but it was a crucial one as 3rd party releases were slow to arrive!
(Was it the first even?!)
Plus, it means I can use one of my favourite ever adverts showing the ONLY way to promote a shmup!

ZELDAAAAAAA!!!
Classic 80s advertising meets classic 80s gaming!!
And, side note, no mention of the system name - no wonder everyone just called it “a Nintendo”!
Find the crystals! Rescue the Princess!!

There are so many...
Japanese exclusives (Dragon Force 2, Shining Force 3 SC2 & SC3, Sakura Wars 1&2, etc.).
Cancelled games (Dungeon Keeper, Diablo, Sonic the Fighters, etc.).
And Mega Drive games without sequels (Alicia Dragoon, Kid Chameleon, Ristar, etc.).
Yoh, who would maybe say this one:

Let’s rewrite history!!
What games should have come to SEGA Saturn?!
Guilty Gear?
DC iteration was ace, it’s a 2D fighter right in Saturn’s sweet spot, and published by Atlus who just 15 short years later would basically BE SEGA!!
It would have looked AWESOME with 4MB!

Time to put right what once went wrong!
You can have any game on the SEGA Saturn that your little heart desires!
What’ll it be?!
Resident Evil 2?!

Lady Wrestlers On Mega Drive!
Not only did Asmik bring the pro female circuit to MD, with Cutie Suzuki Ringside Angel, they brought MD gamers to lady wrestling!
The second pic is a promo for a live gaming event in August 1990 featuring Cutie Suzuki herself!
Awesome!

Is Call of Duty 4 retro yet?!
I mean, it’s as old today (18 years) as the Game Boy was when COD4 came out - or Golden Axe! Or Revenge of Shinobi!
But it just doesn’t feel… that old?!
