I have a tORP update for you

Yet another Pokémon pirate homebrew, this time it's "Pocket Monsters" on the Mega Drive. I just can't wait to see what the deformed platforming Pikachu turns up in next! This particular pirate wound up on the Super Nintendo as well, and later scored a sequel, "Pocket Monsters II" (though I've yet to cover that). It's not particularly new, but coverage has been so poor that people have been labeling it as public domain for some bizarre reason. Make sure you're not one of them I guess.

  1. You forgot to note that all of the music and sound effects for the SNES version were taken from Capcom's "Bonkers".

    Heya, Black Squirrel! RTB here. After looking through the page for that Pocket Monster Genesis/SNES pirate, I noticed something about the background from the second stage. Looks familiar...

    It's from Taito's Darius II, from the very first level in the game (Sun "A" Zone).

    So that's another thing graphics-wise that they've taken for that game.

  3. Some enemies seem to be taken from Syd of Valis/SD Valis.

    You might also want to check another unlicensed title, "Mulan". Seems to have pratically the same engine, probably made by the same people.
