That doesn't mean Nectaris is bad The game is actually quite addicting, even for people like me who are used to more complex strategy titles like FF Tactics or even Red Alert.

If you're a fan of strategy games, chances are you'll love this update to the classic Military Madness.
But here's the great part: Even if you're not a fan of strategy games, chances are you'll enjoy this game. The way missions are almost puzzle-like in some cases, and the way the game's difficulty gradually ramps up should make this title accessible to gamers of all shapes and sizes. Plus, the cool extras for beating the game increase its replay.
I was a huge fan of Military Madness on the TurboGrafx 16 and it goes without saying that if you loved it then, you'll love it now. Nectaris has lots of new scenarios and also features all the old missions you knew. It would have been nice to have seen things get revamped a bit more, but what you have is a solid, strategy game that is easy to get into and offers hours of gameplay.
Even if you're new to Nectaris, you'll like it. The original Military Madness appeared on the late TurboGrafx system and was easily one of the best games ever released on that system domestically anyway. This history is arranged chronologically, beginning in with the original PC-Engine game and ending in with the various cellular games. Any and all information relevant to the Nectaris series is covered in this history, so expect to find media coverage i. Folks who do not wish to browse the Nectaris Legacy chronologically can browse by the additional categories listed below.
As far as I can tell, Nectaris was a pretty successful title in Japan upon its release, at least , copies were sold. The 32 maps featured in this release will eventually be included on each and every Nectaris game to follow. This original campaign is often referred to as the "Legend Story" in future installments. Nintendo Entertainment System. NEC's console was very successful and developed a wide user-base.
In fact, when Sega's MegaDrive a. Genesis was released in , a mere two years later, the older PC-Engine and Famicom consoles continued to dominate the Japanese market. Military Madness is nearly identical to the Japanese version -- save for a few minor details. For example, 18 of the 32 stages were given new names. The revised names are unique to the TG version and will not work as passwords in any other Nectaris game.
Also, the localization elaborated ever so slightly upon the original Japanese story and altered the names of some of the weapons. NEC handled the marketing of both consoles, but TurboGrafx, unlike its' counterpart in Japan, was a veritable failure.
Released in , TurboGrafx was simply unable to compete with the already-wildly-popular Nintendo Entertainment System NES and the soon-to-be released Sega Genesis which would ultimately prove to be hugely successful in the United States -- quite unlike the fate that befell its' counterpart, the MegaDrive, in Japan. Judging from the screenshots on the back of the package, this release appears to be a faithful port of the original it appears nearly identical to it, with minor cosmetic alterations in the menu interface.
As far as I can tell, SystemSoft, not Hudson, was responsible for this port. SystemSoft also ported Nectaris to the X platform Sharp's personal computers , probably at the same time they were working on the PC version.
I would assume that the PC and X versions were released within close proximity of one another. Virtually no information English-language is available for this title, so please contact me if you can provide any insight. Oh yeah, check out the bottom panel of the package SystemSoft must have brought this port out at the same time as the PC version, because the instruction manual lists both versions on the cover. If PC and X version of Nectaris shared the same manual, then it is safe to assume that both ports are essentially same, save for some aesthetic flourishes i.
The last time I checked, SystemSoft was still in business and publishing software in Japan. Note: you do not play the original campaign maps in the updated Neo Nectaris environment.
Whether or not the guide book was actually published and sold has yet to be determined. I think it is quite likely that this guide book exists, since I found this image on the website of a Japanese publisher of guide books, mooks, etc. I have since lost the URL to this publisher quite infuriating , but I will continue to search for it.
