Daffy Duck in Hollywood

April 25, 2011 by Baloo 0 comments

The Looney Toons have been a part of popular culture for more than half a century, and they of course made their presence felt on the Genesis. Several games were released, starring Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Sylvester & Tweety, and Daffy Duck. Of all of them though, poor Daffy was the only one who’s game never saw an American release. Why? It’s not known, but game quality couldn’t have been an issue, as Daffy Duck in Hollywood isn’t any less mediocre than the other games in the franchise. Read our full review, and remember that you don’t have to wait until rabbit season to play this one.

Surging Aura

April 25, 2011 by Ken Horowitz 0 comments

Surging Aura is a classic Sega adventure that has somehow resisted all attempts to be translated from Japanese (though a French version does exist). This is unfortunate, as the game is entirely playable, even in Japanese. We’ve gone through it from beginning to end, so check out our full review to see just what you – and the rest of the world – have been missing these many years.

Robocop 3

April 25, 2011 by Nick Durham 0 comments

Robocop is widely considered by many to be a classic of modern science fiction cinema. Its sequels… not so much. The difference between the original and later installments is night and day, and this contrast also applies to the various video game adaptations released over the years. Everyone loves Data East’s Robocop arcade game, but the sequels are widely reviled, no matter the platform they’re on. One need look little further than Flying Edge’s port of Robocop 3 to see just how bad movie games can be. But hey, at least it’s faithful to its source material!

Pier Solar and the Great Architects

April 25, 2011 by Ken Horowitz 2 comments

After a seemingly endless wait, WaterMelon’s Pier Solar was finally unleashed upon the Genesis community last December. The game sold like hot cakes, with a third printing recently selling out, and our forums have been buzzing with discussions about the first brand-new Genesis game built from scratch in over a decade (and hopefully the first of many more). WaterMelon went all out with the packaging, and guess what?It included one hell of a game with all the goodies. This is one for the ages, my friends, so read our full review and be prepared to physically hurt yourself for not having bought this when you had the chance.

Fido Dido

April 12, 2011 by Greg J 0 comments

Every publisher has a list of projects that never found their way onto store shelves. Though they were finished and tested, company politics or financial turmoil caused them to be shelved, for what was thought to be the rest of time. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology (read: internet), games like Fido Dido are becoming available for play.
