BC Racers (32X)

Mario Kart for the SNES opened up a whole new racing genre, one companies have been trying to excel at for more than a decade. At one time, it seemed like every company with a mascot got in on the kart rage, and Core Design threw its hat into the ring with the Chuck Rock-inspired BC Racers. A game that should have been a showcase for the new 32X, it instead fell victim to the same dull and uninspired gameplay that plagued most of the other contenders to Mario’s crown. We’ve a full review of it, so grab a club and read on!

Cyborg Justice

One would think that heavily-armed robots beating each other senseless would be a no-brainer formula for a great game. Sega and Novotrade apparently thought so, as Cyborg Justice was their idea of a beat-’em-up that couldn’t lose. Unfortunately, it needed a bit more time in the oven, and the game we got was a half-baked attempt at best.

Superman

Fans don’t know whether to cheer or cringe whenever something new is announced regarding Superman. The same could probably be said for most hero outings, although the incredible Iron Man and The Dark Knight have thankfully gone quite a ways towards reversing that sad trend. There was a time, however, when gamers would eagerly wade into the newest releases, ever hoping that each would be the one to set the standard. Sunsoft’s Superman isn’t such a game because its potential is cancelled out by repetitive level design and uninspired gameplay. Even so, it might be worth checking out for fans of Big Blue. Look! Up on the site! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s our full review!

Caesar’s Palace

Everyone dreams of winning it big at a casino, raking in tons of cash on a lucky streak and becoming instant millionaires. Unfortunately, video game casinos can’t make your dreams come true, but they at least try to offer some fun in short bursts. Some are better at it than others though, and Virgin Games’ Caesar’s Palace, for example, tries to provide a good time, but this is one casino where the house always wins.

Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants

Ay Carumba! Gamers everywhere released a collective sigh when Acclaim subsidary Flying Edge took reign of the Simpsons license. It was as though they knew what to expect. They were unfortunately proven right, as Bart vs. the Space Mutants proved to be a frustrating exercise in self punishment. The suffering eventually made its way to Sega Land, and Genesis gamers got to empathize with their NES-owning rivals for once.
