Many more I have probably forgot as well, back when Konami was a AAA brand; reassuring a quality gaming experience.
Just banger after banger on 16 bit, then you have Megadrve (once the American market of Genesis grew too large to ignore) as well as PC Engine.
The secret invisible staircase with every power up, before the final boss battle with Dracula is still one of the ultimate hidden game secrets of all time as well!
Just a note aside I genuinelly love your site, and am always checking for new articles especially on foreign publications plus your premium physical books/editions of fanzine - got me back into old magazine collecting during Pandemic, plus your articles are 10/10.
The music from early soundtracks by DIC and 90s ones are excellent like Ulysses 31 (French multi CD Anniversary Edition) MCOG and other such as Phantom 2040, Aeon Flux.
The Legend of Prince Valiant is also well worth tracking down with the CD and Theme song by Exchange, even the rock intro of Thundercats is Grade A perfect music to get motivated to for a run/workout...
Quality of this animation is 10/10 mixed with soundtrack makes it 11/10. Still blows my mind this was made 40 years ago and looks better than anything today including CGI IMO
@BrazilRules He is playing a modern/future day Odysseus from Homer's Odyssey but not first time I have heard that joke.
It is actually quite highbrow and really unique take on the saga mixing Greek, Myths and Science Fiction for a chilldren's animated show back when companies produced real quality content...
Star Wars is basically King Arthur x Sci Fi and this one does have laser swords and a cool self generating shield...obviously easier to commission early 80s when DIC and Chalopin just starting out company, but the stories in each episode have lasted test of time through decades...plus animation created in Japan meaning quality, but French written/produced...
One episode "The Seat of Forgetfulness" still haunts me to this day its so atmospheric fusing real dark fantasy with an amazing ending and set pieces...
I consider this 25 minutes to be a masterpiece of storytelling.
@MontyMole That guy will always be a Grade A legend, it is amazing how much he contributed to 80s/90s pop culture.
I am sure there was a major beef over him and Haim Saban taking ownership of Power Rangers fully then selling it to Disney then buying it back though as he wrote theme song and royalties issue, then some other ownership credits disputes with theme songs that made big news...
Let me check.
Ah yeah X Men 92 more recent case getting wires crossed...
When Christopher Nolan was rumoured to be filming The Odyssey as his next film, when it broke late, I was hoping it was secretly this sci-fi project, and it was a swerve and the long rumoured big screen Ulysses 31 adaption at last given The Batman Trilogy treatment.
A trilogy of Ulysses 31 films on the scale of Peter Jackson's LOTR would have worked 100% with Nolan as visionary to bring the fusion of Greek Myths and Legends to life with a dark sci fi twist.
The world building created by Animated TV series is still 1st rate to this day with huge depth!
Plus Michael Caine could have played Zeus and Cillian Murphy would have obviously been cast as a villain!
I am a big 80s/90s traditional animation fan and never heard or seen of this at all. Now I need to find out if episodes were dubbed in English for any foreign markets...
"The English version aired on the American cable television network Nickelodeon from 1986 to 1987 and in reruns on early Sunday mornings through 1991. In the United Kingdom, Cartoon Network broadcast the series. It also aired on YTV in Canada from around 1988 to 1989."
I genuinelly do not know how I missed this, as it looks and sounds amazing! Hopefully a DVD release or rip or you tube complete series somewhere!
Just read second post with series link info. Thank you!!!
MCOG got 3 seasons of extra episodes over the last 15-20 or so years as Jean Chalopin wanted to finish the story from 80s and had it all mapped out since then finally concluding the saga, although season 1 is self contained.
Season 4 has remained untranslated from French for years now unbelievably...
I sold the Gamecube NTSC USA version I had to South America and Peru of all places for a tidy sum over Pandemic, happy to be able to play it another way now, and have the 3DS version still to try out!
Polygon was at its best first 5-7 years and the long form content later. When they integrated TV, Anime, Films, Board Games on parity with video games that is when it jumped the shark for me.
@Damo You guys should seriously consider a book/collection of different articles actually at TE.
For example this one on The Wizard was great and the recent Powermonger one by Jack, plus there are loads more long form ones on the site I am still discovering.
@Damo I think that is why physical collections and media are so important from Bitmap or others in this day and age, even scans of Super Play and Mean Machines being available online.
Vox to Valnet was not a great fit, many people were also concerned when IGN/Ziff Davis took over Eurogamer Network despite long history with EGM in industry, but it seems to have worked out okay.
Even more so Popcat Reed on intitial EG NETWORK takeover a few years ago as just wanted physical shows like EGX it seemed.
I might actually search for the Streetfighter/Final Fantasy books on ebay now as result of this.
Always had a soft spot for Pang ever since Amiga version as great simple but addictive premise, and arcade plus MAME. Never played SNES one natively but only through emulation. No doubt arcade perfect on one of the numerous Capcom compilations out there.
@Damo Looks like Commodore are going to have a new trademark/ownership lawsuit on hands as I bet WWE has "Starrcade and Starcade" all legally wrapped up since WCW ownership in early 2001, as it is the name of their PPV/PLE version of Wrestlemania.
It was even brought out of hibernation for NXT in last few years to keep trademark alive and in use.
Great article, really well dond TE. Miss this genre Utopia, Supremacy, Deuteros, Millenium 2.2 and others all perfectly suited to touch screen play on tablets as well.
Got a minty SNES version for a reasonable price during Pandemic. Think it uses SNES mouse as well. Always thought PAL/JAP mouse should have used Famicom primary colours as well for buttons and have been more ergonomic.
Looks interesting, plus real carts so no dawn raids for reviewing it by Nintendo, but would prefer pre-built and all regions in one instead of seperate USA/UK editions.
There was Super SNES or whatever it was called a few years ago, I nearly purchased a purple style USA version, with a cartridge slot handheld, but decided against it in end.
Does anyone know at TE if his work with Starfox 2 or in fact any other Super FX games as well I presume not, as would have said as have a cartridge version of Starfox sequel for SNES? Would be fun if compatible with sequel as well, but as no official release obviously, maybe Stunt Race FX, Vortex others are a possibility in future? Even non FX games like F Zero or Mario Kart?
If they lost 12 last time around and that was 50% of workforce and 14 this time around there really cannot be anyone left surely?
"Posting on social media, the company confirmed that it was shedding an additional 14 staff members. This follows the news that, back in March, Cyan laid off 12 staff, which accounted for half of its workforce."
I could see this branded Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, Square, Sega stuff being really popular today on a re-released Barcode Battler device.
Especially if they crossed over with electronic Pokemon cards whose craze/interest/value has only increased through the decades...
I am surprised Nintendo has never linked real Pokemon cards with an electronic device/game reader or even linked it to a Switch reader to play and transfer stats similar to Amiibos...
Been out of Pokemon loop for ages so if they have news to me.

Re: The Making Of: Geoff Crammond's Formula One Grand Prix Series
Great article... recall the original release on Amiga/PC, then Ocean and DIDs EPIC being all graphics and no playability.
Hunter by Activision was very good though, a game often forgotten as a precursor to Body Harvest/GTA.

Re: Game Changer: Super Castlevania IV - Why Simon Belmont's 16-bit Debut Is A Stone-Cold Classic
@Espectro2410 Genuine Question: What are Konami up to with Castlevania right now, in terms of releasing new games?
Re: Game Changer: Super Castlevania IV - Why Simon Belmont's 16-bit Debut Is A Stone-Cold Classic
Looking at 16 bit SNES output specifically:
● Gradius III
● Castlevania IV
● TMNT IV
● Pop n Twin Bee
● Sparkster
● Axelay
● Cybernator
● Sunset Riders
● Dracula X
● Lethal Enforcers
● Batman Returns
● Contra III
● Mystical Ninja
● Prince of Persia
● Tiny Toons
● Zombies Ate My Neighbours
Many more I have probably forgot as well, back when Konami was a AAA brand; reassuring a quality gaming experience.

Re: Game Changer: Super Castlevania IV - Why Simon Belmont's 16-bit Debut Is A Stone-Cold Classic
One of the best games of all time, coupled with amazing music, so scary I used it for Halloween one year, recorded onto a cassette tape from SNES.
The Metroidvanias do not compare for me, including SOTN and the GBA titles
Stone cold classic, like much of the early SNES run of games...
Perfect difficulty curve, and multi directional whip!
