Not many people have heard of the company Wolf Team. They only released games on the Mega/Sega CD for Mega Drive/Genesis. The reason they have an archive? Because the games they released were hard, but also extremely fun and playable! To defeat the sprite-3D graphics which the Mega CD could only cope with, they decided in a great new idea. Two of their games, Road Avenger and Cobra Command, were just manga videos really. You watched what happened. You think Shenmue made up QTE's(Quick Timed Event's)? Well you thought wrong. As the film plays, you had to press the relevant direction/button to complete the game. Sol Feace had a manga beginning but was an extremely hard 2D Side-Scrolling Shooter. ROAREYE! |
