The game starts off with a naked cherub asking me my name; because I'm tired and juvenile, I name myself "BooB." That's funny, so I laugh to myself. The cherub then asks me (as if he can tell I was up all night and dragged myself out of bed to write a post about God damned Virtual Console releases) "Are you awake?" I'm really not, but what's the difference? He tells me I'm going to have to fight some monsters anyway. Well, that's great.
OMG! There's a new arcade in a town ... a virtual reality arcade! Problem is, it seems that the game's boss has escaped and is molesting children (or just defeating them at the game, I can't remember). Apparently, this Genesis classic is the story of someone who was too tough to beat. Someone who, apparently, is so tough that he looks totally bad ass tucking his shirt into his jeans. Someone who is ... Kid Chameleon. 
I have played ActRaiser and Kid Chameleon before. The former was really interesting, something I'd love to see a modern take on.
Kid Chameleon is amazing. But like HighVoltage, I have never beat it. I can't sit down for that long and play it. I'd get like 40 or so levels in and have a breakdown. It can get ridiculously tough.
I like ActRaiser, but I've just spent about 3 hours on RE4. I can't quit yet, it's just starting to get really good.
I fucking hate bear traps, BTW.

Actraiser was such a good game. I remember dumping countless hours into the last couple of bosses. I vaguely remember Kid chameleon, though I think maybe I was camping and playing it on a tiny television. (We really liked to rough it.)
@dvd - Yeah, bear traps suck nut. As do the guys with the chainsaws. And that idiot girl you have to drag around for the last half of the game. Well, I'd assume it's most of the last half. When I found out it was coming out on the Wii I stopped playing the GC version.

Some bear traps are worse than others.
Actraiser? Sold. JJ & Jeff was pretty weak; I kinda wish we got the Japanese Kato and Ken if only for the fart attack. It still sucks though.
I think i played actraiser but i'm not sure, anyway i'll probably buy it next weekend when i get more points.
@Canadian Geese:
Oof at that bear trap. NOT cool... could you imagine all the poor bf's or ex bf's (myself included) out there falling for the old "let's fuck one last time and forget about you being an asshole so I can get my revenge by sticking your penis full of painful vaginal barbs"?!

When you beat the last boss of kid chameleon, there's a fucking SECOND LOOP! That game is insanely long and hard. Coolest outfit? Tornado Man.
"And instead of pasting Nintendo's press release after the jump, you'll find impressions that are sure to help you with your buying decisions."
Was that a subtle dig there?

That sounds convincing =P.
I'll probably buy it eventually (im a sucker for old games) maybe next week if nothing i like comes out, this week it will be ActRaiser and Mystical Ninja (didn't have points when it came out)

There's even more reason to play Pulseman now.
The game doesn't work right on my GP2X, but the translation is ace. Also helps that the voice overs are already english.
And yes, I definitely approve of ActRaiser. Never played much of Kid Chameleon though, but maybe it'd be a good fit on my GP2X as a "play it when there's nothing else", since it's so long, and I have save states (10 per ROM image).

Sorta OT, but, Did anyone other than me actually get Super Ghouls and Ghosts? THAT is one fucking hard game. I had only faint memories of plunking dollars and dollars worth of quarters into the arcade console for the original game and getting pwned relentlessly. I don't know that I've ever seen the first boss. If that game even has bosses. That game is unreasonably hard, but I've set it upon myself to get through it. Or maybe halfway. Or maybe just until past the tidal waves. I could deal with that.
LordGloom's reaction is true and correct.
I loved Act Raiser. Played it through bunches of times. I will once again once I get a Wii.
Kid Chameleon was one of the strongest arguments for why the Sega Genesis didn't suck.
