Game Summary:

The Sega Mega Drive version is the most widespread, having landed on the system in September 1991 before being included in several Mega Drive compilations and the Wii’s Virtual Console service. On the Mega Drive, Galaxy Force II’s frame rate is cut even more (leading to an artifically longer play time) and sprite rotation is entirely eliminated. Scaling, like many X and Y Board arcade conversions, relies on pre-rendered sprites of differing sizes being swapped in and out at runtime, leading to a ”jerky” look. The slower pace of play compared to OutRun or After Burner and the more 3D-esque playfield exacerbates these concerns.
Interiors and textured surfaces (such as the lava in level 2) are simplified, becoming flat colours attempting to simulate movement in a similar manner to OutRun’s road. Transitions between outside and inside portions of levels are removed, usually in favour of fade-ins/outs and black screens.
