There have been reports of issues with the physical Mega Drive releases from Columbus Circle in terms of both the quality of the circuit boards used, as well as the pins on their cartridges not being bevelled (which can cause damage to the cartridge port on your console). Please do more research before purchasing any of their titles.
Official Details (From Western Release)
The iconic Beat ’em Up for retro consoles!
The year is 2142 and a war has been waging in Artemis City. In the last moments of the war, a warship is discovered containing hundreds of mecha, called SlaveGears, which are seized by the military. Two of those mechas, Hound Dog and Rising Dog, are put into experimental use by the police. As Rising Dog goes rogue under the control of the evil warship Omega, which jams the military networks of Artemis City, Hound Dog is deployed to save the City and stop Rising Dog.
Take control of the SlaveGear mecha Hound Dog and battle through 6 stages against various enemies that lead to the final boss of each stage. The gamplay mechanics resemble a mix between a traditional Beat ’em Up and 2D fighting games, so the player has to think about their next move more thoroughly to advance.
Originally released for the X68000, Mad Stalker: Full Metal Forth is brought to your Genesis/Mega Drive retro console!
Features:
- Control the bosses in 2-player Versus Mode
- 6 Stages each with an individual boss fight at the end
- Authentic retro experience for Genesis/Mega Drive
- Fantastic blend of Beat ’em Up and fighting game mechanics
