The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER? Hulkamania’s runnin’ wild on your Genesis in Flying Edge’s Super Wrestlemania! Itching for some wrasslin’ action from the good ol’ days? We’ve got you covered with a full review of a game from the height of the pre-“attitude” era of the WWF, back before the World Wildlife Fund stole the abbreviation! Read on and remember to say your prayers and eat your vitamins!
War games are supposed to be fun, action-packed, and adrenaline pumping. Pick any of those, divide it by two, and you still have more to offer than Caliber .50. When you find yourself staring at the screen in anger yelling “MOVE, DAMN YOU!” there’s obviously something unRambo-like about the main character.
Like beat-’em-ups? Beaten every Streets of Rage more times than you can count? If you’re wondering which brawler to turn to next, there’s always Kaneko’s DJ Boy. It may not be high on the list of games that come to mind, but it’s… out there. Keep your expectations low and you just might be surprised.
You’ve blown through Crusader of Centy, finished Landstalker, played through Light Crusader, and you’re wondering what’s next. Well, before emitting a Darth Vader-like “all too easy” at the lack of adventure/RPGs left for you to conquer. Well, why not go back to the early years of the Genesis’ life and try out one that’s harder than all of those combined? If you’re looking for the big boss on the adventure/RPG ladder, look no further than Will Harvey’s The Immortal. There are more traps, goblins, and giant worms than you can shake a +1 Staff of Fire at!
Say what you will about Core Design now, but back on the Genesis and Sega CD it was smokin’ hot. Soul Star, AH3 Thunderstrike… all games that really took advantage of their hardware. Skeleton Krew wasn’t as much of a graphical showcase as those two, but it was decidedly different at the time. Unfortunately, it may have been a bit too different, and the gameplay took a hit as a result.
