Mega Drive Longplay [452] X-Perts

Played by: Reinc The game’s plot is based on an alternate timeline in which Shadow Yamoto was not killed by the Black Orchid in 1993. Instead, she joined Janus. In the game, a group of terrorists take over Janus’s undersea lab. Shadow and the X-Perts embark on a mission to stop the terrorists. X-Perts is a side-scrolling action/strategy video game produced by Sega of America and released only in North America for the Sega Genesis in 1996. It is a spin-off of Eternal Champions starring the assassin Shadow Yamoto, who is depicted in her design from Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side. This game was made as an answer from Sega to Nintendo’s Donkey Kong Country. As such the graphics were pre-rendered in 3D then converted into sprite form which is similar to the method used in that game. This method resulted in the game being released on a 32 Megabit ROM, the biggest Sega had ever made. Characters: Shadow - the Black Orchid gang member
