One of the least discusssed areas of the Genesis software library is the children’s section. The console boasts a great number of titles in this area featuring all the major characters of the era, some of which are still popular today. A few games are based on timeless characters, like the Berenstain Bears. For over forty years, the bear family has entertained children in books and on TV. Their one and only Genesis outing was suprisingly competent, and it does a decent job of holding the attention of kids over ten! While not the best platformer on the system, but it’s no stinker either.
Genesis Reviews
Super Street Fighter II
Super Street Fighter II saw a release on several consoles, and the Genesis verion ranks among the best. Packed with just about everything the arcade original had to offer, there are few fighting experiences better on the console, giving players a wonderful game to enjoy alone or with friends.

So we thought: after so much research and investigation, why not just review the darn thing?
