Decided to revisit a childhood favorite that I never beat legitimately. Turns out it's still just as creative, funny, and brutally hard as I remember.
Played with the English-patched Japanese version, which smoothes the difficulty a little bit.

Absolute favorite game on the Genesis. I absolutely love this game. One of Treasure's finests.
This feels like a missing link for my knowledge of Treasure'a development history. Surprisingly it mostly reminded me of McDonalds Treasure Land Adventure, with significantly ramped up difficulty (and I played the "easier" japanese version!)
Dynamite Headdy is much better than any character action game has any right to be. Once again Treasure had created a visually stunning and vibrant side scroller for Mega Drive, almost like a proto Rayman meets Mischief Makers but much better. There’s a tonne of extras, special awards, bonus games that spell out a word for post-game goodies and difficulty settings. Unfortunately I stuck with standard difficulty and still needed to cheese some sections (rewinds), I don’t have as much time and patience that I used to. Basically a must play for Mega Drive.
