What happened to rtype on the Megadrive

[croft]

Hi,

What games do you think should have made it to the megadrive.

I can think of some that SHOULD HAVE MADE IT.

R-type--Where the hell was this game?Perfect for the machine,I am shure it would have been a superb convershion,Look at the thunderforce series of games and how good they where.?

We had Pc engine r-type,Super nes,Master system but the megadrive was left cold

Dragons breed,Another great title that could have graced the Megadrive.If anyone has got to the end of Strider for the megadrive there is a huge dragon type creature that Strider rides,Almost the same kind of thing that was in Dragons breed.We had an Amiga and atari st vershion but still no megadrive.

Another superb shootem up was Saint dragon,Awsome graphics and rock solid gameplay,Just right for the megadrive?

There must have been many games that could have made it.

No doubt rtype was a lost opurtunity and one Sega could have made video game history with. :argue

Gradius 1-3 - the NES/FC ports were excellent efforts, but the NES simply doesn't have the hardware to do it justice. SNES could probably have pulled off a proper Gradius 3, but it was apparently rushed a bit.

Street Fighter Alpha/Zero

Varth: Operation Thunderstorm (not sure whether or not MD could properlu handle this one; it's a doozy)
