It's been a while since I revisited some Megadrive titles so here we go!
This is an old-school Multicart from back in the Day. There were tons of Multicarts (usually bootleg carts with many games on a single cartridge) on the original GameBoy, NES / Famicom & I have several on the Megadrive/Genesis
I've always been fascinated by multi-carts. There is always the wonder about how they even got made etc.
It uses the Reset/Power Button to select the games. I picked this up in the early 90's from a car boot sale along with a few others. Most have a number of smaller games on them & this is the case here with Moonwalker & Fire Shark.
Moonwalker is the 16-bit Megadrive interpretation of the 3D isometric arcade game by Sega & also the film of the same name. I play a single stage here as I've already featured this on another multicart in one of my other videos. It's a fun game that captures the King of Pop really well. It's simple but easy to pick up & play & you can moonwalk too :-)
Fire Shark is an outstanding port of the arcade title by Toaplan - masters of the shoot-em-up genre - & it is a really good fun play through. I used to be a lot better at it but haven't played it for years. I play through until I lose my first life. Graphically lots of lovely little touches, outstanding music & a fun weapons system.
I play it here on my CDX/MultiMega - the scanlines are added by a RetroTink as I normally play these games on a CRT but this is easier to capture.
Let me know what you think. Prefer videos with or without scanlines? Want to see footage recorded from a CRT screen (I have various screen from consumer sets to PVM's & a GDM)
As always - captured from genuine hardware in ths case a MultiMega/CDX although the cartridge is obviously an old school bootleg!
