Bonkers

April 16, 2009 by Baloo 0 comments

Disney and Sega go back a long way. Mickey Mouse practically lived on the Genesis, and a slew of other properties found their way onto the console. Among the licensed properties to get a game of its own was Bonkers, based on the short-lived cartoon series that featured a former cartoon star turned cop who patrols the Toontown of Who Framed Roger Rabbit fame in search of escaped criminals. Sounds like something to look forward to for seasoned platform gamers, right? Oh, did I mention it’s a Sega Club game? Yeah… can’t win ’em all, I guess.

Jaguar XJ220

April 13, 2009 by Doug Jackson 1 comment

When you think of the Sega CD, you don’t immediately think of racing games. There aren’t all that many, and not all of what’s available is worth looking into. That’s unfortunate really, because a few, like JVC’s Jaguar XJ220, are quite playable. We have a full review for you, so read up and see if this one’s worth tracking down.

Super Smash TV

April 9, 2009 by Melvin Veenstra 0 comments

At one time it seemed like the only way to find a decent game with the Acclaim logo was to look for one that belonged to another company, and even then it was hit or miss. Under the Flying Edge banner, the company did manage to produce some decent software, and along with successful arcade ports like NBA Jam, Acclaim made some strides towards decency. Another port it tossed our way was that of Williams incredibly popular Smash T.V. Adding a “super” to the name, it wasn’t as pretty or customizable as its SNES sibling, but there was still much fun to be had.

Batman Returns (CD)

April 6, 2009 by Antony S. 3 comments

As a franchise, fewer characters have stronger legs than Batman. After twenty years, the fact that people are still looking forward to a new game featuring the Caped Crusader (Arkham Asylum looks incredible) is simply astonishing, considering just how spotty ol’ Batsy’s record has been. Back in the 16-bit era, Sega itself dove into the Batcave with both a cartridge and CD release of Batman Returns, and whether or not it landed on its head is still the subject of much-heated forum debates. We’ve a full review of the Sega CD version, so read on and remember, they’re flying mammals, not rodents!

Let’s all celebrate our national pastime with a full review of R.B.I. Baseball 3! Then again, after spending time with it, you might actually have more fun watching reruns of old games on ESPN Classic. Still, think of the alternative: going outside and actually playing baseball. And who would want to do that when there’s a Genesis in the house?
