VF's physics is only really wonky with respect to the jumps. Yeah, it's not realistic how you can slam people to float them for combos, but as for the jumping, it's not really a big deal for me since I don't jump around much at all. I find that I don't jump around too much in games like Soul Calibur and VF which have actual 3d movement, since it leaves you too defenseless (kinda like in real life).
I think the "realistic" tag that goes with VF is more due to the fact that it requires so much dedication to learn a player rather than how realistic the actual moves you perform are.
As for E-Swat, I fired it up on mame a couple of days ago, but I had a pretty good laugh when you get that crazy garbage can of a suit. One hit, and half the thing comes flying off!

Yeah... good times uh?
Do you know the tricks to beat the bosses?
I used to play Taito's Superman, E-Swat, Golden Axe, Altered Beast and later on TMNT.

Alright, other than the final paragraph, I think this is pretty much done. There were a few other things I'd wanted to do (extra pictures of the galleries for Panzer Dragoon and Monster World IV, maybe some videos of the extra stuff from Dynamite Deka) but I'd need to beat most of those again to unlock them, and I'd really just like to update the page, since it's been something like six weeks. Any other suggestions?

Could use images of Sega Classics Collection's box and menu screen.
Typo in Outrun section: "The car is also placement is also different, hovering several dozen pixels over the bottom of the screen, which might throw off vets.
Tetris: "None of them ever came to America, anyway."
I played a Sega Tetris arcade game at an arcade in a Hawaiian zoo in '92 or '93. I remember it being 2-player and having items like a bomb and a weight. I didn't remember the name, but I recognize it as Bloxeed. Also, I just checked out the MAME ROM and it starts up with an FBI "Winners don't use drugs" screen. I think that's only in US-region arcade games.

Found an error from vol 15's review:
its winter themed sequel Winter Heat (which never got a home port) ---> Winter Heat was converted on Sega Saturn.
Also,it would be nice if you can update the Phantasy Star review with some sample from the original SMS game.

Also, for each game that has MP3s, I included both the original and PS 2 versions, so there's Phantasy Star SMS MP3s in the pack. |

I'm saddened by the lack of love for Bonanza Bros. though they could have probably put in a copy of the Genesis port (which plays differently than the SMS one- which one is like the arcade version, I know not).
Outside of that, a great article.

Great article, but I was a little dismayed by the Phantasy Star II spoiler. Granted, I was given some warning, but it was still a bit abrupt. Aside from that, fantastic.

At the request of another topic, I put in a table of contents, and made the PS2 spoiler more vague.

One error I noticed was with the vol.20 Space Harrier article, in the second paragraph of the "About the Sega Ages Version" section, "...even includes cell phone" should be changed, I think, to cellophane.

I guess I'm the only person who likes Congo Bongo and Bonanza Brothers. I think Quartet is a great game too, other then those disagreements I thought it was a great article.

Yeah, I don't really hate Bonanza Bros or Quartet or SDI. It's just that compared to a lot of other Sega classics...why these? Why not Alex Kidd or Streets of Rage or...well, even Thunder Blade, despite that not being terribly good either. They might as well release like, Sega Ages Vol. 40! The Dynamite Dux collection! Why waste a release like that? It's like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel before they're even halfway through it.

One minor and picky bit of grammar is in the spoilers section of the PS2 remake- Instead of the phrase "This remake fulfills all kind of fanboy fantasies by allowing you to resurrect them" the last should be a "him or her" in the singular.
Though a bit of a longshot, any idea of if there'll be a Sega Ages compilation for the PS3 or what not?

Yeah I know the "them" is technically grammatically incorrect, but I never liked that "him or her" thing, because that strikes me as particularly stupid English, even though it's right. So, take that English language.
Anyway, I say the Sega Ages series is doomed in America, they're too focused towards the Japanese fans. If it were up to the US market, we'd be seeing Golden Axe and Shinobi compilations instead of Galaxy Force and Fantasy Zone.
