We are still waiting on a suitable Amiga AGA emulator with robust recording features before tackling such games.

Player's Review
Classic Amiga game ported to the Mega-Drive. 50 fps PAL version played as I found the 60fps ntsc version too damned fast :O Other YTube vids use it do you can compare.
The longplay could certainly be a lot shorter, but I have tried to show where the big point bonuses are and some extra lives. It should be all of them, but I cant say for definite that I have found them all. I could only find the bonus mission once, and that mission is rock hard even if its only 30 seconds long. The collectable is shown by a Ship powerup in world 3-2.
World 2-4 also has a bonus level by playing a specific set of notes on the first keyboard you encounter. I have accessed it before, but couldn't do so when recording this longplay. There is no collectable in this version that I can find which give out the note sequence.
I have longplayed this to compare with Amiga AGA and snes versions of the game. This is a good effort for the megadrive. Its fast and gfx are very reasonable although lacking colour in certain elements. Some transparency is also used in foreground objects which looks nice and is unique to this version. The music is good and recognisable from the Amiga originals, although do to poor audio emulation in Gens, it is playing at a higher pitch then normal in this video. This version also retains the chupa chups branding in the background, but no collectables bearing the logo.
The level order matched the Amiga CD32 version including the edition of plant world, and just like that version it is missing the original zool ending and instead sets you up for the Sequel which never appeared for this platform.
