Game Arts crafted a graphic adventure that is sure to please fans of the classic cartoon on which it’s based thanks to some great comedy and some of the best animation on the Sega CD.

Action titles based on anime are quite common, and for the most part they’re nothing special. Cyborg 009 falls squarely in the middle of the road due to uninspired gameplay and an overall lack of a creative spark. So much could have been done to bring Shotaro Ishinomori’s classic manga to life, but Riot squandered the chance.
Like shows about video games? Then Game Sack is a show you need to check out. Joe and Dave delve into their massive collections to bring us commentary on what to buy and what to avoid. This week’s episode is all Genesis and discusses Japanese games that never should have left the country.
