One of the first games on the Turbo Grafx-16 CDROM to drop people’s jaws was Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective. An FMV game that proved much harder than it was interactive, it was eventually ported to the fledgling Sega CD (along with its sequel). Though it made impressive use of audio and video, the actual game itself wasn’t as ground-breaking, and many Sega CD owners today still steer clear of this one.

Tecmo Super Baseball
Still longing for the boys of summer? Can’t wait until spring training? We feel your pain, so we’ve plodded through the ice and snow and whipped up a full review of Tecmo Super Baseball to keep you warm and toasty until spring returns. Read on and get your baseball fill with one of the better games in the sport on the Genesis.
Bio-Ship Paladin
We’ve got some more import shooter goodness for you. Today’s review is for the Genesis port of the obscure coin-op Bio-Ship Paladin. It has a decidedly different firing mechanism, compared to other shmups, and one of the big features is that your ship “evolves.”
Joe Montana Football

So we thought: after so much research and investigation, why not just review the darn thing?
Fire Mustang
Taito’s Fire Mustang may not have set the world on fire, but it was a decent little game that may be worth looking into if you can find it on the cheap side.
