although i had this for saturn, this actually wasn't my first time playing the genesis version because i rented it once to see if it was different than the saturn version. i really liked it at the time because, well, i owned a saturn so you pretty much had to like this game since it was one of the like three games for saturn, heh. now... HECK is it ever rough. and it's not challenging because it's challenging, it's challenging because the controls & 3d perspective are kinda awful. there is still quite a bit of nostalgia factor here, and i do like the way the flickies follow you around when you free them, but that's kinda it.
