King of shmups? Best on the Genesis, or best overall? You’ll have to decide for yourself whether or not Lightening Force (Thunder Force IV) truly is all it’s been hyped up to be, and to help you out, we’ve cooked up this handy little review!
Reviews
Gaiares
Some consider Gaiares to be overrated, and others consider it to be a classic. Released as one of the seemingly endless barrage of shmups in 1990, it still sparks controversy.
World Series Baseball
Fans of Take Two’s Major League Baseball 2K5 may or may not remember that the series has its roots in BlueSky Software’s incredible World Series Baseball franchise, which had several installments on the Genesis before reaching the pinnacle of perfection with World Series Baseball ’98 on the Saturn.
ESWAT: City Under Siege
During the 16-bit era, it was normal practice for Sega to release home versions of their arcade hits that were almost different games altogether. This was seen in Moonwalker and Shadow Dancer. Another game to receive the treatment was ESWAT: City under Siege.
Phantasy Star IV: End of the Millennium
Some say it’s the best in the series. Some say it’s the best Genesis RPG ever made. However you feel about it, there’s no denying that Phantasy Star IV is the a monster of a finale that sent the original storyline out with one hell of a bang.
