The UnimPORTant part V 16bit years.

The SNES and Megadrive or genitals if you're American posting.

You know the deal now, a bunch of games that were never ported over to the various systems at the time, but fit into the various system requirements of the native hardware.

Snes and Megadrive.

Apart from a few notable bits, the SNES lags far behind the Megadrive when it comes to homebrew.

There's a good port of Marioland for the Snes out and Nekotako as a new small print run game, but apart from that. Nothing.

The Megadrive fares better with a few chinese originals and bootlegs.  Seeing as they were relatively popular over here, lets give 5 games each, for the system, which were never ported.

Megadrive 5 first.

R*Type

Known as the home of shooting games, it's weird that this was never ported. Will have to check to see if Irem ever had the licence to port stuff. It's the only big omission I've seen on whole system.

Puzzle Bobble. Mega CD

This, every one knows, you line up bubbles in the launcher and try to pop 3 or more to clear stuff. It's either ported as Bust A Move (>_<) or a bajillion reskins of the same thing. I don't know why I added Mega CD to this as it could be done on the Megadrive. But would love to see it. Maybe a CD version of the iconic sound track.

Magic Sword

This is an old scrolling beat'em up by Capcom. I've played this in the arcade and is only one of a handful of games I ever saw the ending to. The others being Golden Axe and Darkstalkers. It's a middling game but I like it. Would love to see a port of it back then.

Powerdrift Mega CD.

An old superscaler racing game from Sega. I think it got a Saturn port as part of the ages range. But I would like to have seen if it could have been made to run under Megadrive hardware.  I put this as a Mega CD release, as the extra hardware would  make sense.

F1 Exhaust Note 32X

This is basically an old twin screen F1 game I saw back in Cyprus over ten years ago. Apparently never getting a home release, I have this as a provisonal 32X hardware release as its both obscure and little supported.

SNES ERA 5

This was my jam back in the day and therefore I know more of what was released and what wasn't.

1 Bubble Bobble.

Would love to see Taito's island hop coin op here too (Rainbow Islands) but to be honest, a good port of Bubble Bobble would be nice too. Seeing as the NES version is one of my favourite games ever a port along those lines would be excellent.

2. Bombjack.

Tekhan aka Tecmo did a few good games back in the day and this is another single screen job that wasn't ported over either. I envisage those two I mentioned up there as small rom carts (8mb or so). Seeing as there were a few coin op classics ported in its death throes. I'd love a home brew version of Bombjack.

3. Suikoden Snes CD

This is way out of the realms of possibility but, when I got this for Playstation back in the day. I was taken by how it looked like a late era SNES game, one of the style over substance RPGS such as Star Ocean or Tales Of Phantasia.  Could this have been done for the SNES CD, who knows, but I'm sure it would have had a port if it had taken off.

4. Gauntlet.

Would love a port of the original game here.  There are a few games that would make excellent use of the multitap, and this game is ideal for 4 player support.  The downside being Atari taking in the mid 90's and its corpse used to pump out old IP and bastard clones of the VCS till this day.

Anyway this I could happily play on the SNES.

5. Elite.

Apparently this was being done back then and was abandoned. Its the old home micro game where you trade through galaxies and shoot pirates. Ian Bell has a lot of the games for the old system to play for free under emulation if you like that sort of thing. I much prefer Frontier, but a port of this could be fun.
