The Battle Mania games featured beautiful visuals, rock-solid gameplay, and some really great humor. The first game made it across the pond under the Trouble Shooter moniker, but its much-improved sequel was left behind. Is it worth the $150 asking price?
Reviews
Joe Montana’s NFL Football
Joe Montana’s NFL Football for the Sega CD is the redheaded stepchild of the series, and it pales in comparison to its cartridge brethren, something Sega CD games were simply not supposed to do. Take a time out and read our full review and see how poor Joe got sacked with this one.
Wild Woody
Wild Woody is a game most people have probably never heard of. A late Sega CD platformer that debuted into bargain bins, it features frustrating control and one of the oddest (putting it mildly) game characters around. Woody is a pencil who… how do I say this… um, erases his enemies with his butt.
Hook
Steven Spielberg’s Hook still draws mixed reaction from movie goers. The same goes for the game renditions, which were released on a ton of consoles. Most comparisons are between the Genesis and SNES versions, and while most would agree that Sega fans got the inferior of the two, that doesn’t mean that the game is unplayable or necessarily bad. In fact, it kind of grows on you. Read our full review for all the bangarang details.
Risky Woods
Electronic Arts brought a lot of Amiga titles to the Genesis, and most of them made the transition in grand fashion. Unfortunately, not all the games were of stellar quality to begin with, and that mediocrity got ported along with the rest of the code. Zeus Software’s Risky Woods fits this description, and while it’s not a bad game, it has enough problems to keep it from being one of the better side-scrolling action titles on the Genesis.
