Sometimes, what seems like a great idea on paper doesn’t work at all in practice. That was the case with the Genesis port of Galaxy Force II, which was incredible in arcades. What could have been a magnificent experience instead turned out to be a cold, empty shell devoid of any of the original’s qualities. It was essentially a train wreck in space, and if you ever had any doubt that such a thing could happen, you need only read our review to see.

King Colossus: Tougi Ou
With a full English patch by MIJET, the Mega Drive action/RPG King Colossus can finally be enjoyed by those who don’t speak Japanese. Some would say that it bears more than a passing resemblance to Falcom’s flagship franchise Ys, and that might be so, but it also copied the quality gameplay and fun quest, so it’s all good!
Batman Returns
Few icons have had as storied a history in video games as Batman. From a few bona fide classics to some real stinkers, the Dark Knight has a ton of releases under his utility belt. One of the more controversial titles was Batman Returns, based on the second film. Many debate its quality to this day, and we’ve a review to help you fence-sitters make up your mind. Hey, don’t say we never did anything for ya!
Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse
There’s usually a lot of debate as to what the best Disney game on the Genesis is. Whichever one you prefer, there’s simply no denying the brilliance of Traveller’s Tales’ wonderful platformer Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse. Chock full of great special effects and very challenging, the game is one of Mickey’s best efforts.
Super Hydlide
The public outcry of support following our Dungeons & Dragons review was so big that we just had to review another obscure RPG. Well, actually there was no outcry, and we only have my penchant for playing games no one else does to blame. For that reason, we give you our review of Super Hydlide. Enjoy!
