Sometimes, you really want to like a game, but it does everything in its power to keep that from happening. Case in point: Doom, a game released on about a million systems, arrived on two different Sega consoles in as many years. The problem is that both of them were well… less than what was expected. In fact, we don’t know which one is worse, so we shackled staff writer Nick Gibson to a desk and made him play them both extensively. After much suffering and even more caffeine, he’s given us his results. Read our comparison and see which Doom is the less potent of two poisons.
Side By Side
Side by Side: Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker (Genesis vs. Arcade)
Despite what you may think about Michael Jackson now, his musical talent is something that has remained consistent throughout the years.

Side by Side: Lords of Thunder (Sega CD vs. TurboGrafx CD)
Genesis fans sure do love their shumps. As one of the richest genres on the console, there’s no shortage of great games to play. The Sega CD continued this tradition with excellent original entries like Android Assault and Robo Aleste. It also had its share of ports, and one of the more controversial titles was Hudson’s Lords of Thunder. Long held to be inferior to the Super CD-ROM2 original, we’ve put them through their paces to determine which is the superior version.
