What’s this? Can this truly be my Genesis at work, without expansion carts or add-ons? Indeed it is! Zyrinx’s Red Zone is a graphical tour de force that plays as well as it looks. If you haven’t tried it already, read our full review and see what your next purchase must be.
You’d think that with the amount of fame Mega Man enjoyed during the 8-bit era, the dude would get his shot on the Genesis once Capcom openly supported the platform. In a sense, he did…just not in America. While PAL and Japanese Mega Drive gamers enjoyed a great compilation of the first three games called Mega Man: The Wily Wars, U.S. fans were left in the cold.
FMV games – love ’em or hate ’em, they’re a big part of the Sega CD’s history. Some were actually worth playing, although your mileage may vary as to how much. One title that is worth a play or two is Wolf Team’s humoristic Time Gal, which sends the player on an obstacle-filled romp through different periods in history. It didn’t set the world on fire, but it didn’t burn anyone’s house down either. If you’re looking for another disc to spin in your Sega CD, this one’s good for a few hours.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years, you’ve undoubtedly played Paperboy. A little slice of Americana that was put into digital form, it gave youths everywhere free reign to smash people’s windows without having to worry about consequences. Thankfully, Tengen gave Genesis owners a port that was very faithful to the original, and we have a full review that shows how they compare.
There must be what, about 400 X-Men right now? Good thing you only have to worry about four in Sega’s mega hit game based on those oft-troubled mutants. Back when any licensed game was almost guaranteed to stink, X-Men was a pleasant surprise. Read our full review or else, bub.
