Short story:
Back when I was a pup, I extorted my mum to buy me that Sonic music CD I saw at the store. There was a picture of Sonic and Tails on it, so it had to be cool, right? Right?! It turned out to be a real disappointment. But hold the phone...quite soon I figured that there was a multimedia part on it. So I popped it in into the PC. It contained a boring af music video. Hell no! And the demo of a video game. Hell yes! Even though it actually wasn't a Sonic game, I decided to give it a try. And I got caught off guard. It was a really cool beat 'em up arcade game, wrapped in awesome comic style. Comics and martial arts, what more could a kiddo ask for? A perfect combination! Unfortunately there was only one level. But I played it a thousand times. For some reason it had an extremely high replayability value. I tried to make "perfect runs" (loosing zero health), speed runs and many other self-created challenges. Eventually it started to get old and I wanted more. Mummy wasn't willing to buy her video-game-spoiled son yet another stupid game. Maybe a childhood dream might come true now? Please GOG, let me finish my quest that started 30 years ago and stagnates ever since.
True story!
Tough as nails and unforgiving even though quite short. This game is quite a fun nostalgic trip. It's an action comic book coming to life! It's still rather contemporary, it's as "90ies" as a game gets. Those were tough years to grow up where I live and Comix Zone made it all a bit happier.
For an late Genesis release, Comix Zone stands out. It's a little shorter than expected that's truly delivers. The presentation speaks for itself. The audio as a whole amazing work. Yes this is a difficult beat em up game. Health items are secretive to constantly check a weird method by ripping pieces of pages. Some are hidden in objects you'll lose some health among breaking. The game is funny about giving you an continue. If you get one instead of the Game Over that also acts as the game's Bad Ending. You just luck out on being forced to play it all over again. The stages with a few paths does keep things a bit interesting. The same Sega division made Kid Chameleon to name a few. Comix Zone gets in several compilation games. I also couldn't help Mortus sorta looks a little like Dr. Robotnik. I love the concept is an creator of a comic book gets trapped inside his own work. This game is becoming more known overtime. It's no surprise a lot of people missed out on the game. Comix Zone could be either fun or a truly intense time for those playing the game.
i loved playing this game on my buddy sega back then and after it was plausible to play it on steam for sega bundle it was definitely was a blast to play. just wished it wasn't as hardcore like it is. i never really beaten the game but only made it past only a few chapters i think? but it was definitely a unique game and loved the storyline that they had trying to fight your way out of a comic sketch that the evil bad guy made for the main dude was very interesting.

Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet DevilEmbodiment of Scarlet Devil features two playable characters to choose from, with two Spell Card types each. Reimu Hakurei can cover a wide area of the screen with weaker attacks, while Marisa Kirisame relies on her speed and power to make up for her thinner attack spread. The bombs show different behavior and damage depending on the character and type chosen.
Unlike its predecessor, Mystic Square, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil comes with an "automatic item collection" feature, which allows you to collect all items on the screen by moving to the top of the screen if you are at full power, as well as a counter-bomb system, which allows you to avoid a fatal hit by using a bomb immediately.

Touhou Eiyashou: Imperishable NightThis game features eight playable characters, with four starting preset teams of two and unlockable individual character modes. When playing with the character pairs, one character fires when unfocused, while the other switches in and fires when focused, with a reduction in movement speed. The two shot types can be drastically different. The individual characters, with the exception of Remilia and Youmu, do not change shot types while focusing/unfocusing.
Imperishable Night features Last Spells. For the enemy, a Last Spell is a bonus Spell Card which the player can challenge without the option to use bombs and without the risk of losing lives. On the player side, Last Spells are secondary "bomb" Spell Cards, which last longer and do much more damage than normal bombs at the expense of two bomb stocks. Player Last Spells can only be used immediately after being hit, with a grace period of less than 1 second.
Additionally, there is a "Time Orb" system which affects the story/score, as well as a gauge which tracks how human/youkai (normal/focused) you are and determines how you can collect more time orbs.Action Fantasy
