Chuck Rock

November 6, 2009 by Sebastian Sponsel 0 comments

The Flintstones weren’t the only ones to rock the stone age! In 1991, Core Design and Virgin Games released a hit platformer called Chuck Rock for multiple formats, and the game was a massive hit. It boasted lush visuals, large and detailed bosses, and possibly the most unattractive protagonist this side of Boogerman. It was followed by an enhanced Sega CD version and the eventual sequel. We’ve a full review of the Genesis original for ya, so put down that Brontosaurus (Apatosaurus?) burger and read up!

Racing Aces

November 2, 2009 by Doug Jackson 1 comment

Sometimes, a developer’s creation is too ambitious for the hardware for which it’s created. The result is usually game full of lost potential, and players almost always sum things up with a collective “this could have so much more on better hardware.” Sega’s Racing Aces falls into that category. A game with lots of good ideas, it fell victim to a release on hardware too under-powered to fill its potential. The game is still playable, but one never ceases to wonder of what could have been.

Syndicate

Syndicate was quite a popular title during Bullfrog Production’s run, which ended when it was gobbled up by Electronic Arts in 1995. Playing like the love child of The Matrix and Wall Street, the game tasks players with all sorts of nasty objectives, like assassinating rival corporations or brainwashing targets into obedience.

Madden NFL ’94

October 22, 2009 by Alex Burr 0 comments

No game console since the early ’90s has lacked the Madden series and dominated the industry. The series first stepped into the console arena on the Genesis, and it quickly grew into a sports juggernaut. Many people see the 1994 edition as the point where the franchise really began to come into its own, and it’s a football title that still plays as well today as it did over a decade and a half ago.
