WARNING:
Viewer discretion is advised.

In 1989, Pac-Man developer Namco released a tough-as-nails shooter loosely-based on Greek mythology to Japanese arcades, and over a year later, ported the game to Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis.

This review covers the original arcade version and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive port.

Let me know in the comments what you think of the game.

Footage of the Genesis version is recorded using original hardware (model 1), connected to HD Retrovision component cables hooked to the RetroTINK 5X. Footage of the arcade version is recorded via the Nintendo Switch port.

Another important note:
For the Genesis version, I had to use a Game Genie to get further into the game when recording B-roll footage. That's why in some spots, Apollo is invincible.
I plan to do an episode on cheat codes and devices in the near future (after I get more cheat devices).

Furthermore, if I mispronounced the names of any bosses, I apologize.
