Toaplan’s been behind some great shmups, and a few of them were never released in the U.S. Twin Hawk was one of the rare games that got published by Sega in Europe and Japan, but never flew across the Atlantic. No one knows why, but we were deprived of a solid little shooter that employed some unconventional gameplay dynamics.
Reviews
Corpse Killer (32X)
Digital Pictures sure took advantage of the CD medium. Some of the games stink, there’s no denying that. Some are still fun, in a campy sort of way. Corpse Killer is one such title. Originally released as a Sega CD game, it was cleaned up and became one of the few 32X/CD games made available. It’s cornball humor at its very best, and after laughing at just how bad the acting is, you might actually find yourself enjoying this one. If that piques your interest, we have a full review on it, so read on and see if this one is worth giving a try.
Star Strike
Seven years ago, Good Deal Games published Star Strike, an unfinished FMV game that was slated to be forgotten by time. After some work and publishing, the Sega CD had yet another posthumous addition to its library. Is it really worth tracking down though? Some say that any dead FMV game is a good one, but you just might be surprised here.
Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition
You’d think that after everything he’s been through, after all his near-death experiences with dinosaurs, Dr. Alan Grant would stay as far the hell away from remote islands as possible. Apparently, he must has some deep, subconscious attraction to them, because he keeps going back for more. In Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition, the good doctor is actually trying to save the vicious reptiles from InGen thugs. The beloved raptor also makes a return, and with new graphics and equipment, it’s a whole new adventure in the most dangerous place on Earth.
Jurassic Park (CD)
Jurassic Park CD is a decidedly different take on the franchise. Going the point-and-click route, it was a fresh experience that forced gamers to think instead of shoot, and any misstep could result in a quick death. Read on and see why there’s yet one more game that should be in your Sega CD library.
