Sub-Terrania

[Melf]

Some games are hard. Not enough to frustrate, but just enough to pose a serious challenge. Other games seek to dominate you completely, and you're feeble skills are no match for their relentless and never-ending onslaught. Sub-Terrania is one such title, and it's a game where there's really no middle ground. You either like it or hate it.

I bought this one year while on vacation with parents. Was super hard for me at the time. Repurchased it when I decided to start collecting retro games and have enjoyed it alot. I understand it more now.

Excellent game.

I've never heard of this game but it looks and sounds like a lot of fun! I'm gonna have to get it.

I heard of this game when it came out... but due to money issues never really played it.

I forgot all about it for years until I moved to FL and meet my friend Brian. He noticed I loved my genesis despite the year being 2000 and started raving about his favorite genny game "sub-terrania".

We checked out all the local game shops and finally got our hands on a copy and I fell in love with the HIGH difficulty... difficulty so freaking high it can drive a man insane with hatred... (j_factor... hehe... j/k)

I have to say for a game that actually created by homebrewers... yes this was actually an independant project that was later picked up by the company who published it. If I recall correctly they actually developed it on illegal dev kits... but they made it legal by hooking up with the publishing company.

I may be wrong about the illegal dev system thing though... but I really do remember something about that being stated in a magazine article I read.

:P

I actually like hard games in general -- I used to one-credit Battletoads. This game just... pissed me off.

It might very well be a homebrew but I've never heard anything about this personally. I doubt the illegal dev-kit thing is true though because this game was published by Sega itself.

This game is challenging, but not in an unfair manner. The music is excellent, and the graphics are simple but pleasing to the eye. And that boss on level 2 is just cool looking. :)
