That just made my day.

Is the graphics on par with the Dreamcast version or lower? I haven't got the game but i was wondering if it is..not sure if the trailer is a good example of the actual graps..

Ohh, Shining Force would actually work on mobile too since it's turn based.

I've tried playing any type of platformer or action game on my Galaxy 1, it's just... atrociously bad...

Well why play a game i already own on my MD...as well as the various collections released on third party systems.

I imagine most people buy phone games to play on the bus/train when you don't have access to your MD or don't want to buy a dedicated gaming handheld.


I should point out most of the games on my phone are just emulated ROMs. But so are these official releases so...

Of course but me personally why buy a game where i can enjoy the proper versions any time i want at home. When i go out....i don't go out to play a game unless i go to the arcade and that's really if i'm in Asia.

You don't go out to play the games, but if you have to catch a bus or you're sitting on the train for 30 minutes to an hour, then you might play a game to kill the time.

Although even then, I read a book instead and game at home. The only time I've bought phone games was through a humble bundle where I got about five games (including Metal Slug) for $5 or something.

SEGA's iPhone emulation on those old ports isnt the best, however it works well for slower paced games like Shining Force. The old Sonic 1&2 was crap on the emulator, but if you can get Shining Force iOS for cheap, it's a good diversion.

I drive. On business trips that usually involve plane travel i read a book or the times or watch a movie..or sleep. I do download mobile games and handheld consoles but i really don't use them on the go. Age i presume..but i just dont bother getting games i already have on console..no point.

Apparently this game hasn't gotten good review scores due to its IAP scheme?

RetroGamer gave it something like 49% or something. :S

I'm sure Sega iwill be losing sleep from that review of that crap mag. CRAZY TAXI 's made its money tenfold with that game. I don't even think reviews are effective when we talk about mobile social games...

Agreed, nobody gives a fuck about reviews when it comes to mobile phone games.

Although I do like Retro Gamer, I haven't read it in ages. I found a lot of articles very interesting, and actually full of content, unlike most gaming mags these days.

TA reads it so he can pass himself off as an experinced gamer from the nineties..too bad he's been caught out on stuff that a novice sega fan would know..time and time again. Me personally i think its crap..not telling me anything i don't already know or care about. I don't need to relive the past when i was actually there playing the games...
