On this gaming pick-ups there’s a Mega Drive game I didn’t even know existed. Not to mention all manner of PlayStation, SFC and modern gaming.

A classic from Konami that saw may unofficial rip offs. This is Super Cobra on this week’s Battle of the Ports.

That SNES version is just great. So fast too for an SNES game. Fun comparisons!

It sure is. I’m always reminded of how good the game is everytime I come back to it.

They say it’s the WORST shooter on the Mega Drive / Genesis. But just how bad is it?

Is the re-imagining of Pitfall better than the original?

Such a disappointing game. They really did no favors to Pitfall as a franchise with this one. The animation is great but it totally destroys the playability. It gives it a terribly floaty feel to play.

The Genesis version is probably the best one, but it’s just so depressing that this is what they came up with to carry on the series.

I often hope that someday someone will revive this series with a great game.

I totally agree with you. This is such a poor game and very much I line with most western developed platform action games of the time.

Yeah, too many style over substance titles in that era coming from the west. I was far happier with anything coming from Japan then.

The issue was always that people bought the licensed schlock and thought that was good because they didn’t know any better.

8BitDo are really on a role with these two awsome controllers for Switch 2, PC, Xbox Series and more.

This one has a secret code where you can play the original Pitfall.

That’s right. But also the original Pitfall Harry is in the main game.
