Tengen had a huge presence on the Genesis, offering plenty of Atari classics that were very close to the originals. In some cases, they were actually better. Gauntlet IV was one such title, and it added to the already awesome multi-player mayhem by adding a ton of extra modes and full four-player support. It just didn’t get any better than this.

Sensible Soccer: International Edition
It’s almost time for the biggest event in soccer! The World Cup looms, and Sega-16 has a little something to get you in the mood! How does a review of the incredible Sensible Soccer: International Edition sound? Lace up those cleats, because it’s game time!
Red Zone
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.
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
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.
Time Gal
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.
