The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Like soccer? Sure, most of the world does. Why then, would a company so closely tied to sports such as Tecmo go and release the dud that is Tecmo World Cup? Talk about no frills – this is as bare bones as they get. I guess the company released just how lackluster an effort the game was, since they changed the name in Japan. No need to contaminate foreign consoles, I guess.

Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia is a classic example of early ’90s multi-media rage gone wrong, and it’s precisely the opposite type of software you bought your Sega CD for in the first place. Still, learnin’ ain’t never been no bad thang, so read our full review and then see if you feel smarter!
Tennis is one of the most competitive sports there is, and very few events are more challenging than the Davis Cup. Be it in singles or doubles competition, the stakes are too high to allow even the most minor error, and those who stumble have only next year to look forward to.

Bill Walsh passed away last year at age at seventy-five, leaving behind three Super Bowl victories and two college bowl championships at Standford University. Quite the Hall of Fame career, one would think, but as impressive as coaching Joe Montana to three rings may be, it pales in comparison to having your own Genesis game! Electronic Arts immortalized Walsh in gaming with the stellar and imaginatively named Bill Walsh College Football for multiple consoles.
