What is your favorite Sega Genesis / Mega Drive game?

Mine would be the underrated Castlevania Bloodlines (Vampire Killer in Japan and Castlevania: The New Generation in Europe), released in 1994.

I am a fan of modern technological history, especially on topics related to the early PC (Altair 8800, #Apple I, II, #Macintosh, etc.), #UNIX, #Linux and the entire open source software. Glyn Moody’s Rebel Code did a wonderful job of capturing the early history of the #opensourcesoftware movement.

So, we saw the film yesterday…

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I will leave it at that to avoid spoilers. Definitely better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. And I’d say that I enjoyed it more than Temple of Doom.
