The Lost Vikings (Megadrive)

Mon épopée 2016 sur la version Snes:

The game was released on pretty much every major system at the time, and they’re all worth playing, although the Genesis version trumps them all. It has four extra stages the other versions don’t, as well as short cutscenes that play before the start of each world, which show off something you’ll encounter during your time there. It also has a soundtrack composed by Matt Furniss, which edges out over the other versions. You probably WILL need a six button controller, and while you CAN use a three button controller, you pretty much have to do everything with the Start button, so you might as well save yourself a little trouble.

The SNES version isn’t so bad, either, although the fact that it doesn’t have the extra levels over the Genesis version makes it not quite as worth looking into. Although, you don’t need any sort of special controller to play, since the SNES controller already comes with enough buttons to do everything. The music on this version isn’t bad, either, although it has a fairly different sound compared to the Genesis.

The Amiga version is based more on the SNES version’s soundtrack and set of levels, but its issue is that since the Amiga joystick only has one button, you pretty much have to do EVERYTHING with the keyboard, which is sort of a hassle. The DOS version has the same issue, but is otherwise a decent port, if you can get past the button layout. The music isn’t as good, however, since it’s played through the Sound Blaster or Adlib. Or the PC Speaker, too, but would you really want to do that?
