Tech Talk: Zero Tolerance Link Cable

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.

Mutant League Football

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!

Side by Side: Ys III (Genesis, SNES, TG-16)

Falcom’s excellent Ys series has managed to make its way to a ton of consoles, but the Genesis was lamentably the recipient of only the third installment. After seeing the incredible first two games released on the TurboGrafx-16 CD (and Book I on the Master System too!), the third was something many Genesis fans were thankful to get. This version is also available on the SNES, in addition to the TG-16 original. What are the differences, though? Which of the three versions is best?

Master of Monsters

Strategy games often have a reputation of being brutally hard and inaccessible. This isn’t always true, and most people are probably turned off by the amount of brain work required to play than anything else. Renovation’s Master of Monsters series is one title that fits that moniker nicely. It’s not complicated to get into, but it can be very difficult to complete. Aside from the simplistic graphics though, there’s a lot of solid gameplay to enjoy, and the soundtrack is simply fantastic.

Make Your Own Music Video: Kriss Kross

If ever there was fashion trend that was downright dumb, it was the one involving Kriss Kross putting their pants on the wrong way. Sadly, people were willing to let the duo “warm it up” long enough to join in on the craze, and Sega even went so far as to give them their own video game. Debuting under the Make My Video label alongside such gaming powerhouses such as Marky Mark, Kris Kross’ horrible fashion sense is forever preserved in grainy, low-color video.
