Short story:
Back when I was a pup, I extorted my mum to buy me that Sonic music CD I saw at the store. There was a picture of Sonic and Tails on it, so it had to be cool, right? Right?! It turned out to be a real disappointment. But hold the phone...quite soon I figured that there was a multimedia part on it. So I popped it in into the PC. It contained a boring af music video. Hell no! And the demo of a video game. Hell yes! Even though it actually wasn't a Sonic game, I decided to give it a try. And I got caught off guard. It was a really cool beat 'em up arcade game, wrapped in awesome comic style. Comics and martial arts, what more could a kiddo ask for? A perfect combination! Unfortunately there was only one level. But I played it a thousand times. For some reason it had an extremely high replayability value. I tried to make "perfect runs" (loosing zero health), speed runs and many other self-created challenges. Eventually it started to get old and I wanted more. Mummy wasn't willing to buy her video-game-spoiled son yet another stupid game. Maybe a childhood dream might come true now? Please GOG, let me finish my quest that started 30 years ago and stagnates ever since.
True story!
Tough as nails and unforgiving even though quite short. This game is quite a fun nostalgic trip. It's an action comic book coming to life! It's still rather contemporary, it's as "90ies" as a game gets. Those were tough years to grow up where I live and Comix Zone made it all a bit happier.
For an late Genesis release, Comix Zone stands out. It's a little shorter than expected that's truly delivers. The presentation speaks for itself. The audio as a whole amazing work. Yes this is a difficult beat em up game. Health items are secretive to constantly check a weird method by ripping pieces of pages. Some are hidden in objects you'll lose some health among breaking. The game is funny about giving you an continue. If you get one instead of the Game Over that also acts as the game's Bad Ending. You just luck out on being forced to play it all over again. The stages with a few paths does keep things a bit interesting. The same Sega division made Kid Chameleon to name a few. Comix Zone gets in several compilation games. I also couldn't help Mortus sorta looks a little like Dr. Robotnik. I love the concept is an creator of a comic book gets trapped inside his own work. This game is becoming more known overtime. It's no surprise a lot of people missed out on the game. Comix Zone could be either fun or a truly intense time for those playing the game.
i loved playing this game on my buddy sega back then and after it was plausible to play it on steam for sega bundle it was definitely was a blast to play. just wished it wasn't as hardcore like it is. i never really beaten the game but only made it past only a few chapters i think? but it was definitely a unique game and loved the storyline that they had trying to fight your way out of a comic sketch that the evil bad guy made for the main dude was very interesting.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black WaterFatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame series, it was released in Japan in September 2014 and worldwide in October 2015. As with previous games in the series, players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts which must be fought by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U gamepad. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the company's Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. The story, which is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, focuses on three protagonists who are drawn into supernatural events revolving the area, including an ancient ritual to seal away Yomi, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the titular shrine maiden Ouse Kurosawa.
Planning for the game began in 2011, during the projection of the Wii remake of Crimson Butterfly. The game was first proposed by series co-creator Keisuke Kikuchi when he saw the Wii U hardware and the possibilities of the gamepad becoming the Camera Obscura. The game was a joint production effort between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, with Kikuchi and fellow co-creator Makoto Shibata returning as to their respective posts of producer and director, together with staff from the previous series entry Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and developers new to the series. The cast went through several revisions during development, while the staff experimented with the capacities of the new hardware. As with previous games, it features a theme song by Tsuki Amano. Upon release, the game received critical acclaim for its use of the gamepad and dark atmosphere, while opinions were mixed on its story, portrayal of its female characters, and other aspects such as its pacing and controls.Action Horror Survival

Fix-It Felix Jr.A fictional quarter-muncher created for the Walt Disney animated movie "Wreck-It Ralph", in which the thick-headed thug Wreck-It Ralph tries to destroy a building while the daring do-gooder Fix-It Felix repairs the damage with his magic hammer.
In the film, the characters play the role as actors, and Ralph is actually a chipper, nice guy inside the machine -- it's just his job to be a heartless demolisher so that Felix can save the day. But countless games where Ralph has played the villain has taken its toll, and after becoming the outcast of his mostly-wrecked town, Ralph is ready to look for more out of his pixelated life.
During the promotional campaign for the movie, multiple defictionalised versions of the game were released by Disney for Ralph fans to play, including arcade machines at trade shows. The game replicates vintage gaming aesthetics, but was not designed with original hardware limitaitons in mind, thus all releases of the game run off of Flash.Action Comedy
