The Duel: Test Drive II was another Amiga port to make the jump to the Genesis. Unfortunately for this racer, a lot of horsepower was lost in the transition. Read our full review for all the details on this less-than-stellar port.
Genesis Reviews
Uncharted Waters 2: New Horizons
It must be really cool to be a pirate. Sailing wherever you want, plundering and looting at a whim, and all the wenches and rum you can handle! For some reason, video games have never gotten that last part right, but they make up for with an engaging storyline and customizable ships! New Horizons: Uncharted Waters 2 is the sequel to the popular pirate RPG that lets players continue the adventure of expanding their wealth and fame as one of the buccaneers of the Caribbean. What it lacks in wenches, it makes up for in great combat and fun!
NHL ’95
Electronic Arts has been leading the pack for many years now when it comes to hockey games. The quality of its wares were perhaps most evident during the 16-bit era, when console gamers weren’t accustomed to such realism and detail. The NHL Hockey series quickly garnered a large following, and the tradition continued deep into the ’90s. NHL ’95 is a great example of hockey done right, and our full review has all the details of this easily found and inexpensive gem.
Shadow of the Beast II
The Genesis enjoyed an ample supply of Amiga ports, and among them was the notoriously hard Shadow of the Beast – the beast being the game’s difficulty, and the shadow representing where most gamers who played it ended up residing. The sequel was a bit more user-friendly, but the challenge was still rock solid. Take a deep breath and read our full review. Oh, and bring lots of tissue when you play this one; it WILL make you cry.
Spider-Man & Venom: Separation Anxiety
Poor Spider-Man. When he’s on an upswing, like after a great game like Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin, someone has to come along and cut his webbing with a stinker like Separation Anxiety. The ups and downs of the web slinger’s video career even make Batman shake his head in disbelief, but thankfully ol’ web head keeps on fighting.
