I don't know if the game is popular or just really rare, but it's a good game regardless.

I just KNOW that SEGA had their own mech fighter.  In fact, I looked it up just now.  Virtua On, that was it.  One thing I heard was that when SEGA made the GBA Sonic fighter Sonic Battle, they got some of the Virtua On team to work on it, so it supposedly plays like a 2-D Virtua On with Sonic characters.  Unfortunately the game's not that good.

I wonder if Rocket Slime is rare?

Yeah the company who made that Dexter's Lab game, Bam! Entertainment, they did that with a lot of Taito games on the GBC, just reskinned them to have Hanna-Barbera characters.  In fact, many of them said "Powered by Taito" or whatever game they were trying to imitate.  I remember another one was Yogi Bear's Balloon Blast, which was a retoolled version of Pop N Pop.  I wish they would've kept it like the old Taito games.  Needless to say, i never liked Bam! Entertainment and they went out of business soon after.  At least it wasn't as bad as The Flintstones: Burgertime in Bedrock.

Wasn't there a Silpheed remake on the PS2?

Oh you know I got the Kirby amiibo figures!  And the Isabelle Summer Outfit amiibo, too!  As well as Kirby: Planet Robobot.  I'll have pictures at the GamerDad.com site later on.  I have to say that I think I like the Smash King Dedede amiibo a little better.

Didn't SEGA have a mech fighter like Tech Romancer around that time?  Problem with a lot of those games is they're not silly and whimsical enough for me. :)

Oh I remember the storylne to Tail Concerto very well.  It's pretty much a ripoff of Miyazaki films from the 80's.  Mainly Nausicaa and Castle in the Sky.  Still a charming game, though.

Well I like to think of Rocket Slime as a cross between Mario 2 (because you can pick up stuff), and Zelda.  If you still have it, try it again!  I know you can figure it out.

Yeah, most old mech games were just fancy tank simulators.  There was one BattleTank game on the SNES that was made by David Crane (creator of Pitfill).  That's all I know!

Like I said, games like Steambot Chronicles and Tail Concerto are hard to find, I hear.  But if you do find them, let me know, and I hope you get to play them!
