Axel, Blaze, and Adam are three bad ass ex-cops who are taking it to the streets so they can make an attempt to clean the city up of all the smelly, good for nothing punks that are polluting the area. A madman named Mr. X is at the head of all this troublesome turmoil in the big city, and he is also the trio’s main nemesis. But to get to Mr. X, the bold threesome must first make it through stages consisting of seemingly endless streets, towering elevators, a beach that never sleeps, and a few other not so welcoming places.
Genesis Reviews
Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition
Is Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition worth hunting down this rare Genesis sports title? Probably not. While it’s a solid football game that won’t disappoint, it offers very little that the easier-to-find successor doesn’t.
Art Alive!
Not every cart made for the Genesis was a game. For instance, today’s subject: Art Alive. An art program early in the system’s life and one of the last before Sonic arrived and changed the face of not only Sega games, but gaming in general. Had Sonic come out in say, 1990, Art Alive may never have been made. Still, Sega wanted to broaden its horizons, and make a nice little game for kids.
Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition
Genesis owners’ patience was rewarded with the Special Champion Edition, basically a port of the SNES’ Street Fighter II Turbo with some Genesis-exclusive features. While it wasn’t the killing Genesis players envisioned, it still did an excellent job bringing street fighting action to the ol’ black box.
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
While Revenge of Shinobi is regarded as one of the best titles early on in the Genesis’ life, there were a handful of problems I had with it to really keep it from becoming a gold classic. But Shinobi III fixes all of them and makes a marvelous game to boot.
