If you’ve read our write up of the first game, then you know that these little gems are not to be missed! The language barrier isn’t much of a problem, and they’re not all that expensive in the wild.
The Genesis is the home to many Amiga ports, as the hardware similarities the two share made it easy for developers to port over their games quickly. Codemasters, ever the Genesis supporter, brought many titles to Sega’s 16-bit wonder, including Cosmic Spacehead. This quirky little point-and-click adventure is the sequel to Linus Spacehead, which saw release on the NES, and we’ve a full review for you. Enjoy!
Take to the skies and fight terrorists in your F-119 Stealth Fighter! Barrel roll to dodge incoming fire as you fight your away towards… um… massive alien spaceships? Yes, Seismic’s Air Diver is a game whose plot isn’t really worth mulling over, so perhaps it’s better that you just grab your controller and play. That way, you can concentrate on the totally average gameplay, or maybe you should plug in a copy of Afterburner II. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Oh, you’re still here? Then why not read our full review of Air Diver? Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Sonic FIFA Soccer ’95
Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, and whenever one thinks of its video game renditions, one franchise stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of public awareness. Electronic Arts’ FIFA series has been going strong for over a decade, and it made quite the name for itself on the Genesis. With solid gameplay and great presentation, it kept fans playing well into the wee hours of the morning with each new entry.
Sonic is making waves again, and 2008 might just be the year when Sega finally gets the old formula right. It’s been almost ten years since the famous hedgehog made the jump to the third dimension permanently, and it’s been a shaky road to this day. It wasn’t his first foray into 3D though, as two years before Sonic Adventure was released gamers were treated to a taste of what was to come with the Sonic World mode of Sonic Jam for the Sega Saturn. A compilation of all his 16-bit outings (sans Sonic 3D Blast), the game also boasted a fully 3D world that could be explored. It was mostly just a cool way to travel between different game options, but it set the precedent for Sonic’s evolution.
