The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
We’re almost done with 2009, but we simply couldn’t let the year pass by without one last look at what everyone’s been playing. December’s Reader Roundtable features some classics and odd titles, as well as some titles that deserve a second chance. Read the full article and see if there’s anything that you should give another try or might have missed the first time around.
They’re creepy and kooky, but their game is simply mediocre. The Addams Family on the Genesis is a by-the-numbers platformer that does nothing new and doesn’t do the old stuff as good as a hundred other platformers of the era. It’s a shame that Flying Edge simply went with Ocean’s version instead of trying something new. Heck, an upgrade of Fester’s Quest would have been better.
It’s Christmas Eve, and we have one last review before we go away for the weekend to play with all our new toys (and the inevitable socks and underwear. Thanks grandma!). FIFA International Soccer for the Sega CD was a classic case of the “catridge game with CD soundtrack” syndrome that so dominated the add-on throughout its lifetime. Thankfully, FIFA is a good game no matter what console it’s on, and those who don’t own the Genesis cartridge might look into this version.
Playing co-op on the Genesis is a common occurrence, but it’s an entirely different situation when two consoles are involved. Take the first-person shooter Zero Tolerance, for example. How would you like to play it on two separate Genesis machines? Or what about using two Nomads? There actually was a cable offered for just such a thing back when the game was released, but those are now few and far between. Making one of your own isn’t all that hard though, and staff writer Sebastian Sponsel shows us how in the latest installment of Tech Talk.
Man, it seems like the Genesis was home to every variation of violent sport ever conceived. Baseball-playing robots and football-loving vikings aren’t alone though. Space mutants love ’em some pigskin too, and Electronic Arts and Michael Mendheim give us Mutant League Football, which offers some truly brutal gaming. There are no player unions here!
