Slap Fight

May 29, 2006 by Uri Cohen 0 comments

When you think shmups, you think Toaplan. It’s been virtually synonymous with the genre for years and has released more hits than you can shake a power up at. A few of its earlier titles got home releases but were confined to Japan. Slap Fight made it to U.S. arcades as Alcon but its Mega Drive port never did, and gamers were once again forced to import. While it won’t send anyone into a frothing frenzy, Slap Fight is a competent little game whose special mode alone makes it worth the price of admission.

Gauntlet IV

May 25, 2006 by Ken Horowitz 2 comments

Tengen had a huge presence on the Genesis, offering plenty of Atari classics that were very close to the originals. In some cases, they were actually better. Gauntlet IV was one such title, and it added to the already awesome multi-player mayhem by adding a ton of extra modes and full four-player support. It just didn’t get any better than this.

Mega Man: The Wily Wars

May 15, 2006 by Robert Menes 0 comments

You’d think that with the amount of fame Mega Man enjoyed during the 8-bit era, the dude would get his shot on the Genesis once Capcom openly supported the platform. In a sense, he did…just not in America. While PAL and Japanese Mega Drive gamers enjoyed a great compilation of the first three games called Mega Man: The Wily Wars, U.S. fans were left in the cold.
