Decap Attack! It is the spooky time of year and as such seems only appropriate to talk about this Genesis classic! And when I call it a Genesis classic, that's because it was one of those games that never really hit other consoles at the time. It is on mobile and you can get it on Steam as well, but like as for other re-releases, I don't really see much?

Anyways, it is a platformer where you hurl your head at the enemy as a weapon, and punch people out of your chest. It has a lot of "Commander Keen" type vibes in level design and some of the platforming elements. I didn't play it A LOT as a kid with a Genesis, but I remember renting it and having a good time with it. It is zany, bizarre, and I think it knows it is and just is like, "Fuck it. This is what we like, enjoy it!"

Pricecharting has the game running about 17 bucks loose, and about 37 dollars complete in box, so not one that is gonna break the bank. Also, it is on Steam for like, a buck.

Have you gone head over heels for Decap Attack? Or is missing out something that you won't lose your head over?

Yes, on the Genesis. I'd completely forgotten about it til I played it on the Switch Genesis collection a couple of years ago. The name didn't ring a bell but as soon as I saw the main character when the game loaded I perked up.

One of those games I saw ads for and probably references to, but never saw in person.

It's actually a rebranded version of a Japanese game called Magical Hat, which is based on an anime. Kinda like the SMB2 situation. The major difference is that in Magical Hat you die in one hit, but Decap Attack added a life meter.

I know that my brother bought it at one point. I liked the concept, but I wasn't a fan of the controls. So i didnt play it too much.

I've always preferred tighter movement in a platformer unless it's like Sonic where the momentum is a core part of the design and done well. This was more like every level feeling like an ice level type thing. No thanks.

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

Isn't there a looney tunes character he kinda looks like that is all red and big with like only eyes?
That's what i think of with this game. I've played it, but it's been so long, i think it was emulated.

I bought that @Games compilation from a few years back. (Don't worry, I got it on clearance.)

I played this one through to completion during the last Halloween season. It's pretty decent. It feels like a less polished version of Yoshi's Island. The main boss's theme is a banger.

I played it several times. I probably finished it once or twice, but I feel it's just a little too monotonous and/or goes on a little too long.
I do give this game points for all the various items that can be picked up along the way, which adds some variety to the gameplay. Just a shame that most of those items can't be used during boss fights.

ESWAT: City Under Siege is a classic arcade port. Only other worthwhile E games that haven't already been covered are Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 but they were also identical to the SNES versions.

Gotta love the creativity of Sega.

They took a game based on an anime that western audiences wouldn't have heard of and replaced the protagonist with a headless Frankenstein monster that's wrapped up like a mummy. Oh, and his main attack is to strike enemies with his face that's in his chest because... his face had to go somewhere and he didn't have a head.
