Tomorrow’s MLB all-star game looks to be a great one, so why not level off all that positive energy with a really poor baseball title? Time Warner Interactive’s R.B.I. Baseball ’95 for the 32X took zero advantage of the hardware, much like other titles on the add-on, and it was even outclassed by offerings on the stock Genesis that year, such as Sega’s own stellar World Series Baseball ’95. Check out our full review for the sorry details, and trust us, it’ll make watching tomorrow’s game THAT much better.

Chi Chi’s Pro Challenge Golf
Recently, a trio of masked criminals broke into famed Puerto Rican pro golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez’s home and made off with over $500,000 in cash and jewelry. While golf fans everywhere were just glad to see that Chi Chi was safe, they were perplexed as to why he was so jubilant in all his interviews about the crime. You see, ol’ Chi Chi had the last laugh on those crooks. Along with his money and jewels, they also made off with all the unsold inventory of his horrible Genesis game Chi Chi’s Golf Challenge Golf! “Give them a week of playing it,” the golfing legend quipped, “and they’ll be begging for the cops to take them in!” Our readers should just count themselves lucky then that we have a full review, keeping this game only in the hands of our reviewers and a few choice criminals.
Duel: Test Drive II
The Duel: Test Drive II was another Amiga port to make the jump to the Genesis. Unfortunately for this racer, a lot of horsepower was lost in the transition. Read our full review for all the details on this less-than-stellar port.
Hands-On: Sonic Jam (Game.Com)
Poor Sonic. People love to make fun of how bad many of his recent games have been, and some even say things started to go bad when Sega left the hardware business. Not so! Back in 1998, the famous hedgehog appeared in a Game.Com port of the compilation Sonic Jam. To call this version abysmal would be an understatement, and if anyone ever needed a reason to stick to their Game Boys, this was it.
Kawasaki Super Bike Challenge
After playing so much Super Hang-On, we were really looking for a new motorcycle racer to keep us busy. Kawasaki SuperBike Challenge seemed to fit the bill, with its polygonal graphics and smooth scaling. Unfortunately, it bored us to tears, and we’re still looking for that racer.
