Space Ace

If you haven’t already experienced one of the dozen or so ways to play Space Ace that are already out there, there’s always the Sega CD version. Grainier and in lower resolution than most other versions, it’s probably still the cheapest, and the video quality isn’t really all that bad compared to other Sega CD FMV games. Just don’t expect arcade perfection, and the game can actually be enjoyable.

ESPN National Hockey Night (CD)

The Sega CD has only a few hockey games, and most fans choose to swat their pucks in cartridge form. When looking at games like, this, it become painfully clear why. Sony Imagesoft’s CD rendition of ESPN National Hockey Night offers little over its cartridge sibling save for some awful load times and grainy video. Check this one and stick (ha!) with the cartridge version.

Genesis Reviews

FIFA Soccer ’96

Though many would argue that Sensible Soccer was the better series, Electronic Arts’ FIFA games helped define the sport of soccer on the Genesis, and they are still very playable today. Some were better than others though, as evidenced by marked contrasts between the ’95 and ’96 installments.

Battlecorps

Core Design really knew how to make the Sega CD sing, and a great example of that skill is the mech FPS Battletech. Big robots with lots of firepower are always cool, and this game does a good job of making the idea playable with a 16-bit control scheme. Lock and load!
