Ah the ’90s. A time when there were actually several football franchises from which to chose. Some were great and some outright stunk, but hey, that’s what made having more than a single selection so cool. Acclaim tried for years to compete with the big guns, and while its Quarterback Club series often showed signs of brilliance, most of the time it was just average.
Genesis Reviews
Batman Forever
There have been tons of Batman games over the years, but exactly how many were memorable? Not many, that’s for sure, and with turds like Batman Forever in that repertoire, it’s no surprise. Horribly repetitive gameplay and terrible character design make this a major contributor to Acclaim’s tarnished legacy.
Dangerous Seed
A Japan exclusive, Dangerous Seed passed under most people’s radars, and while it isn’t mind-blowing, it’s solid in just about every respect.
Klax
Released under the Tengen label (an Atari subsidary), Klax ranks among Tetris and Columns as one of the classics of the genre. How well does the Genesis port compare to the arcade hit? Read our review and find out!
Disney’s Talespin
Unlike most of Disney’s other platformers, which brought the Genesis some excellent gameplay and animation, TaleSpin is thoroughly mediocre. I guess the whole plane theme is fitting, as this one starts its engine but never really gets off the ground.
