New 3D Golf Simulation: Devil’s Course

There are a ton of golf games on the Genesis. Some are true simulations, and others try to spice things up with a bit of fantasy or putt-putt mechanics.

Unfortunately, this import-only title suffers intensely from the pains of 16-bit 3D mechanics.

Hands-On: After Burner (NES)

Sega’s adrenaline-soaked fighter game has made an appearance on every single piece of its hardware since the Master System. It was also released on a ton of other consoles, including the NES, and this last machine actually got a competent little port, courtesy of Tengen. Nintendo fans can fly the unfriendly skies too!
