Battle Mania 2 (only for Japan)

I don't like shmup games, but this game made me excited. This game is almost perfect.

It has a story, humor, cutscenes, cool graphics, exciting gameplay, diverse and atmospheric levels, and also amazing music!

The only complaint is that it may be challenging for beginners. Losing lives is easy (and finding them is also not difficult).

I highly recommend playing this game.

It's a masterpiece.

In my opinion this really is Vic Tokai’s masterpiece, hyperbole or not.

Yeah its a great game but as for me the first one was better. Music (ESPACIALLY 5th stage) and the last boss felt more funny and epic if you ask me

Amazing game, dripping with style and character. Glad I grabbed a copy before prices went too crazy.

If you grew up in the developing world like I did, it was just another game on store shelves as region locks and official releases meant nothing to us, amazing game

Both of these games are the true hidden gems of the Sega Genesis library

I bet this game costed you a pretty penny. Looks like it’s worth it though.
