New Sega Genesis games are becoming more and more prevalent for some reason. Could it be because the Motorola 68000 chip is easier to program for, and more widely used in gaming consoles/computers of the past? Could it be just a love of the platform? I am not sure but I am not complaining either. More games means there are more chances of a gem to be released. The Mojon Twins are known for quality releases on many platforms, surely Mega Cheril Perils will be no different. Fans of 2D side scrolling action affairs such as El Viento, Blades of Vengeance, etc should be in for a treat with Mega Cheril Perils.

Mega Cheril Perils is the latest release in the Mojon Twins series, Cheril the Goddess, the first to appear on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. Recently shown to show attendees at GamesCom in Germany, Mega Cheril Perils is a 2D side scrolling action game that would probably have fit in just fine back in the day on shelves alongside the other offerings on the system.
Earlier Mega Cheril Perils games have appeared on the ZX Spectrum gaming computer, though not nearly as detailed as what we will see on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. That is not to say that the ZX Spectrum is a slouch, it is not, it is like comparing apples and oranges. The ZX Spectrum is an 8-Bit computer while the Sega Genesis is a 16-Bit gaming console.
Publishing duties for Mega Cheril Perils on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive are held by 1985 Alternativo (for more of their stuff head here). This is great news as this is not a title that should be mishandled and advertised wrong- fans need to know there are interesting games coming out for retro consoles. We are doing our best to get the word out on them. One game at a time.

[…] Mega Cheril Perils by the Mojon Twins. This is a 2D side view action platform title. It is a single screen affair so you won’t really see the Genesis hardware pushed to its limits here. You have to avoid the enemies and navigate the screens to reach a timer. Hit the timer and the enemies freeze and you can stomp them and complete the screen. I covered Mega Cheril Perils here on RGM before. […]
The game is up for pre-order via Verkami, a Spanish crowdfunding website (along with other 5 games).
