      @meleu, @cyperghost

      I believe I figured it out. The full name of the 'Good' dump in question is:

      QuackShot Starring Donald Duck (UE) ~ QuackShot - I Love Donald Duck - Guruzia Ou no Hihou (J) (v1.1)

      After studying up on the 'Good' naming conventions, the (UE) is meant to denote the English title that precedes it, whereas (J) denotes it's Japanese name. So, it looks like this ROM is in fact a (JUE), making it the same as (W) in TOSEC. I guess there were never any other regional versions of 'Quackshot' released other than this one. I'll make a report to the discord server when I have some time.

        @mediamogul you can also give me the md5 and I link it to our database. And then you can test it to see if it'll work. There's an easy cheevo for this test: getting 5 peppers in Duckburg.

          I don't go for retro achievements, but I really enjoyed this game. I played it on my Genesis and while a bit confusing at parts, I had a lot of fun. Did anyone else think it was a bit odd that the powerup to give you full health was a cooked duck? (Ok, maybe a chicken or turkey, but still.)

            Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Sometimes it's hard to separate 'good' from 'nostalgic' haha.

                You can add me to the list as well. Although it wasn't my particular jam, I figured why not finish what I started. In an overall good looking game, I thought the Transylvania level was especially gorgeous. I always love how Disney handles the macabre, going all the way back to 'The Skeleton Dance', or my own personal favorite Disney short, 'The Mad Doctor'. I also ended up liking how the acquisition of items was handled for progression. Doubling back to locations to use them helped break the action up in a nice way and made the game have more of a globetrotting feel.

                  I just remembered that 'The Mad Doctor' is one of three Disney cartoons that accidentally entered into the public domain, so I can't help but post it here.

                        @obsidianspider So its like a Final Fantasy Tactics type of game? Or closer to Fire Emblem?

                        The Promised Land

                          @lilbud I've never played either of those so I'm not sure how to answer your question. It's an RPG.

                            They're both really nice tactical RPGs. 'Riviera' is pretty unique within the RPG genre, as it contains certain dating sim elements that you don't really see anywhere else.

                                My suggestion for June is the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive version of 'Robocop vs. the Terminator' . I could talk up this particular action title all day, but I'll leave it to the 'Classic Game Room' review below.

                                          Yeah, I agree. I have no nostalgic feelings towards them as I was too old for them when those games came out (they were the games my youngest brother played - no one my age was interested in them ) and despite giving them a go on several occasions I quickly get bored. I will perhaps give pokemon another go at some point to see if I can figure out what all the fuss is about but I don't hold out much hope.
