Taking the famous hedgehog out of the side-scrolling world and tossing him into a pinball environment, Sonic Spinball was a decidedly western spin (ha!) on Sega’s flagship franchise. Sonic fans still debate its quality today, and it remains one of the most controversial 16-bit games in the series.
Reviews
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
After the release of a few titles such as Altered Beast, Sega decided to bring the Kidd back for another try. Did it work? Was it able to reproduce the fantastic charm of the original or did it flop like the abominable Alex Kidd in High-Tech World?
Wayne’s World
Welcome to Wayne’s World the crappy side scrolling platform game for the Mega Drive/Genesis. This is a game that not only disgraces the name of Wayne’s World, it is quite frankly another of the most terrible games I have ever played.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
Even cute girls in school uniforms can kick ass, as evidenced by Ma-Ba’s Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, a side-scrolling beat-’em-up based on the hit cartoon. How does it fare next to other entries in the genre? Read the full review to find out!
Double Dragon
Technos launched a genre into stardom and created a massive franchise with Double Dragon, and the game has been made available for just about every console ever made. The Genesis version should have been arcade perfect, but somehow, Technos managed to screw it up. While not unplayable, it’s a far cry from what it should have been.
