So, last night's game of choice was something that holds a lot of nostalgia for me. The #SegaGenesis port of the arcade game #BonanzaBros and it probably started my love of stealth themed games

I should use stealth in a much smaller font, as there is very little sneaking to be done here. It is also a much shorter game than I remember. You have three minutes to shoot and evade your way through 10 different locations and steal a certain number of items in the stage.

I used to play this with a friend when I was kid, and it is quite a riot when played split screen.

I also gave the #MasterSystem version a play as well, to compare how different they are. That version is much harder! With more varied enemy types and a tighter limit on extra lives.

Both versions are beatable in about 30 minutes, but still offer a decent challenge.
Heck, it took me several attempts to beat the Master System version, but I was trying to do that in one credit.
