The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Every console has hacks and bootlegs. The Genesis is actually home to quite a few good ones, some good enough to pass for licensed retail releases, with original sprite work and designs. Contributor Greg Jurkiewicz examines some of the best to see which are actually worth tracking down.
The Genesis has a ton of racing titles, and while there are the classics like OutRun and Micro Machines, there are stinkers like Formula One. This game skimps on the graphics in favor of speed but forgets one major detail: control. A racer is nothing if it controls poorly, and that about sums this one up.

Itching for another excuse to break out that multi-tap? EA’s tennis game might not be as awesome as Mega Bomberman or any of the Micro Machines games, but it’s still a good way to get some multi-player action going with friends.
For more than a decade Michael Lubuguin was a part of Electronic Arts as it grew from a small PC publisher into a software powerhouse. He saw its rise and had a hand in creating several classic games for the Genesis, including Road Rash, the Strike series, and Crüe Ball.
