The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Rocking and racing are two things that seem to go together well. Think about it: rock music blended with fast paced racing action; how could it go wrong? Well, what if the hardware wasn’t really able to produce the rocking part as it should? Is the solid gameplay of a faithful port enough to make up for it?
Life in prehistoric times must have been really hard. Aside from the whole “hundreds of ferocious dinosaurs out to eat you” thing, you had other cavemen stealing your women when you weren’t looking! For Joe & Mac though, such adversity wasn’t a problem; it was an excuse to kick some caveman tail. So great was their arcade anger, so powerful was their strength, that the duo found their way to several consoles, including the Genesis.
The Olympics may be over, but there are still a few gold medals to be had! Oh wait, that would probably work better if the game in question were actually good. Accolade’s Winter Challenge was much too ambitious for the hardware at the time, and the final product is a bland experience with tepid gameplay and an even worse framerate. Don’t believe us? Then read our full review and see for yourself.
Being a fireman isn’t easy, and let me tell you, playing a FMV game about one is no picnic either! Though you’re safe from the heat, it’s hell on your fingers as you struggle to press the correct command in time! Seriously, another one of Sega’s full-motion releases for the Genesis CD add-n, Fahrenheit wasn’t that bad a game, and Sega was nice enough to include a much cleaner 32XCD version along with the stock CD game for the same price.
Virgin Games is a company most Genesis owners associate with mega hit Aladdin, David Perry’s masterpiece of animation and visual excellence. The company did indeed have a knack for recreating the Disney magic, and one of the more overlooked titles in its repertoire is Pinocchio. Decidedly easier and lower key than Aladdin and the Lion King, it nonetheless featured most of the elements that made those titles so great.
