Addams Family

They’re creepy and kooky, but their game is simply mediocre. The Addams Family on the Genesis is a by-the-numbers platformer that does nothing new and doesn’t do the old stuff as good as a hundred other platformers of the era. It’s a shame that Flying Edge simply went with Ocean’s version instead of trying something new. Heck, an upgrade of Fester’s Quest would have been better.

Mutant League Football

Man, it seems like the Genesis was home to every variation of violent sport ever conceived. Baseball-playing robots and football-loving vikings aren’t alone though. Space mutants love ’em some pigskin too, and Electronic Arts and Michael Mendheim give us Mutant League Football, which offers some truly brutal gaming. There are no player unions here!

Master of Monsters

Strategy games often have a reputation of being brutally hard and inaccessible. This isn’t always true, and most people are probably turned off by the amount of brain work required to play than anything else. Renovation’s Master of Monsters series is one title that fits that moniker nicely. It’s not complicated to get into, but it can be very difficult to complete. Aside from the simplistic graphics though, there’s a lot of solid gameplay to enjoy, and the soundtrack is simply fantastic.

Shove It! The Warehouse Game

Puzzle games come in all shapes and sizes. Some are more complex than others, but often the simplest puzzlers can be the most fun. One of the lesser known members of the genre on the Genesis is Shove It! The Warehouse Game, which basically boils down to a dude in a warehouse pushing boxes for cash. It’s not very deep on story, and it can even be downright repetitive sometimes, but the game actually grows on you after a while.
