During the 16-bit era, mascots were a dime a dozen. Unfortunately for many of them, attempting to recapture Sonic The Hedgehog’s massive success proved much harder than anticipated, and most fell by the wayside. A few did manage to survive into the next generation of consoles, and one such straggler was Bubsy, Accolade’s smart-mouthed bobcat. He didn’t get too far though.

Stories from the Book of Genesis Vol. 10
If there’s one thing gamers can’t stand, it’s a deal just beyond reach at a garage sale because of a demanding seller. We all know him: that owner who just refuses to haggle and is willing to not make a sale at all rather than come down a few bucks. What do you do in that situation? Why, you take matters into your own hands and fight to the death for the goods! The newest entry in our popular fan fiction series Stories from the Book of Genesis has one such case. Read on and see what it really means to find games “in the wild!”
Beavis and Butt-Head
As popular as they were in the mid ’90s, it was only a matter of time before Beavis & Butthead made their way to consoles. Their Genesis adventure wasn’t half bad, if you were a fan of the show. Filled with inside jokes and toilet humor, the game had little appeal to those who didn’t appreciate the duo’s brand of humor. Fans, however, loved it.
Shaq-Fu
Fighting games are always fun, aren’t they? They should be, shouldn’t they? That would be the case in a perfect world, but reality is a much different story. One big kick in the shin was Electronic Arts’ Shaq Fu, which contributor VinnyT actually summoned up the courage to play. Why, he’s even gone so far as to write a review about it! See? That’s what we’re here for: we play ’em so you don’t have to!
