I pulled out my Sega Genesis (generation II) and bought a copy of this game that I have been trying to beat for YEARS..
Now, it's not that I couldn't beat it, it's just that there are no such things as save cards for Sega Genesis.
(Everyone under 20 is looking at this and going "OMFG!! WTF U DO WIFF OUT DA SAVE!?!?" and Everyone 20+ is like.."Mhm..I know -exactly- what you mean..I didn't ever beat Aladdin cos of that..").
I mean, it's like this, you know how with an NES or SNES, the game will save onto your cartridge? Well, ..(and before you go "oooh! Okay, I get it it's like that!"--let me correct you..) if it had been anything like that, I would've been the game.
On a Genesis (mine was II generation, btw), the game didn't save. Period. Most of the games were for people who had a full 4 hours to play video games..or..were things like football, baseball, quick little sporty things. (Games you either spent hours playing, or games you played for a few minutes).
Well, as a busy 8-9 year old, I didn't have that much time to sit there in my room playing Pocahontas over and over and over again..for hours at a time..
So ever since I rented it at the tender age of 8..I've been wanting to beat it. It's frequently on my mind. I loved the game ever since I saw the beautiful graphics and watched the movie..Pocahontas..is just this beautiful Creek Indian princess..and I love how she looks..and is portrayed on the game..
Even the music isn't half bad. (And as I told my boyfriend Randy, if you hook your Genesis up to an HDTV..it looks very similar to the graphics on a Play Station (1) on a normal TV..)
So..I was going along playing it..just now, when all of a sudden...
IT FROZE.
OMG!!! I HAD ALL THE DAMN SPIRITS AND IT FROZE...
Here's where Genesis makes up for it's ..lack of..well..genius.
On the occasion (when you complete a chapter of a game) it will spit out a password unique to your gameplay.
For example, the password it spit at me (and I was lucky enough to write it down) was :
[bird icon]1(or I)O(or 0)NM7.
So..that's a pretty unique feature to the genesis, I think. Although, I'd have liked to see some save cards, honestly. Because although it gave me a me-unique password, i played it a bit longer after it gave the password to me..and then it froze. I was probably on the verge of getting a new password.
So..suckola, right?
And..my eyes hurt from looking at multi-tonal blues...for hours at a time. |
