The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Ok, give us an upgrade and we expect all the good stuff from before with a few tweaks, as well as some new stuff. What we don’t expect is a game that plays worse than the original, especially when it’s on more powerful hardware. Games like Brutal: Above the Claw was why the 32X was never taken seriously. When your 16-bit version plays better and is more fun, why upgrade? Still, we have a review for those of you considering a purchase anyway. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Wisdom Tree sure had a run during the 8-bit era, releasing several mediocre games that were eventually ported to the Genesis…intact. Yes, games like Spiritual Warfare are perhaps the best justification for not trusting unlicensed wares, and we’ve the review to prove it. I’ll never doubt that Sega Seal of Quality again.
Entries in the long-running Raiden series have been ported many times, most recently to mobile phones, and the Genesis got its share of the lovin’: Christmas-card-to-that-second-cousin-you-hardly-ever-see-type lovin’. It may have not been the best of the bunch, but hey, it was still Raiden. Doesn’t that count for something?
Every time I think we’ve seen it all on the Genesis, some rare game comes along and surprises us. Ball Jacks is one of those titles that comes out of nowhere. Unfortunately, it seems that it was lost in import limbo for a good reason, as the premise is perhaps its best feature. That’s a shame, as the thought of space crabs batting around huge, metallic balls sounds almost too cool to pass up.
Saban’s group of teens never stops defending the Earth, no matter what type of gimmick they end up using. Lamentably, not swords, dinosaurs, police cars, or even magic is enough to make Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers enjoyable.
