The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
If there’s one game show that has endured throughout the years, it’s Family Feud. From its TV debut back in 1976 to the newest incarnation this year, the program has managed to remain popular. So popular was it, that it was ported to just about every game console ever made (I think I have the Game.com version here somewhere!).
James Bond’s completed missions on virtually every console ever made. He only made one appearance on the Genesis, which probably has a much to do with Dalton’s mixed reception as the character as it does with mediocrity of the game itself. James Bond: The Duel isn’t a bad game; it just isn’t really a good one. Hey, that sounds a lot like what people say about Dalton’s Bond!
Air Buster, a Kaneko arcade game that also saw a great release on the Turbo Grafx-16, looks and plays great on the Genesis. As it just so happens, we have a full review for it. Two-player simulataneous gameplay for the win!
One of the more unique shmup concepts was the use of insects as ships. Though Insector-X tried to pull it off, it was Sega’s own Biohazard Battle that came the closest to conveying the coolness of using a raging hornet as your craft. Sound weird? It should, as this is one weird game.
In real life, having lives in your hands can be a big responsibility. In video games, you can at least go to bed at night with a clear conscience if you lose a few. Take Populous, for example. Here’s a game that lets you be a god and control the destinies of an entire people, and man is it fun!
