The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Interplay’s Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure was released for the Sega Genesis in November 1994 to only decent reviews, and all future plans for the character were scrapped (a Super NES version was released in the spring of 1995). Was there potential for a franchise?
With its expanded plot and specific extras, Challenge from the Dark Side is more of an director’s cut than a full-blown sequel. Designer Michael Latham has pushed the Sega CD to its limits, upping the playable character count from nine to twenty-four (!), and by making the game bloodier than its cartridge cousin – almost to the point of overkill (no pun intended).
Sega of America’s foray into the fighting arena was supposed to take on Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Whether it succeeds or not is subject to much debate, but one thing everyone can agree on is that it’s caused as much controversy as any of its competition. Read on and see if it’s worth all the hype.
Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker stands as an unforgettable conformation of both the King of Pop’s weirdness and coolness. Unfortunately, it also serves as a reminder that stripped down arcade ports leave a sour taste in the mouth and that attempting to rectify the limitations of the console you’re porting down to is a bad move.
Street Racer appeared on several formats in 1995.
