TIPS FOR COMIX ZONE SEGA GENESIS DOWNLOAD
It’s free to download and ad-supported, with a banner ad on the title screen, a video ad that plays when you start a game, and the ability to save the game to the cloud by watching yet another video ad. More interesting to me is the pay model for this version of Comix Zone. The one bright side is that the game does support MFi controllers. Nor are there any sort of video display options, so you’re stuck with a windowed version of the game and a blurry original resolution. You get virtual representations of Sega’s weird circular d-pad and the classic A-B-C buttons, with no options to rearrange or resize them. I fired up my PH account and after taking Comix Zone for a cursory spin it seems this is a higher effort than their previous Genesis releases but still about as barebones as they come. But apparently Sega is partying like it’s 2010 again because they’ve just release an iOS version of their classic Genesis beat’em up Comix Zone in the Philippines App Store. Ah, the good old days.Īnyway, as Sega is often known to do, they pulled all of those Genesis iOS ports from the App Store a couple of years ago and, given the low quality of those ports, it wasn’t that great of a loss. They all were the basic ROM that ran inside the same emulator shell with virtual buttons just sort of slapped on there, and some enterprising gamers even discovered that you could swap out the ROMs so that you could play Genesis games that weren’t even officially released on iOS. While the games themselves were quite good–including hits like Gunstar Heroes, Shinobi III, Sonic 1 & 2, Shining Force, Golden Axe, and Street of Rage–the mobile ports were about as crappy as could be. For those of you who have been around the mobile gaming scene since the early days, you may remember that some of Sega’s earliest mobile efforts were quick and dirty ports of some of the classics from their Genesis/Mega Drive era.
