The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Mickey Mouse had a long run on the Genesis, with some games being better than others. You mostly hear people talk about Castle and World of Illusion or Mickey Mania when the good ones are mentioned, and Fantasia usually tops the list of the bad. However, no one ever really mentions Mickey’s Ultimate Challenge. I wonder why that is? Isn’t it good, or is it a total stinker?
Everyone loves top ten lists. Well, they at least love to hate them. Truth is, you can pretty much count down anything, so why not make it interesting? Our newest feature series, Lists of Fury, takes a look at things that are bound to piss off Genesis fans… piss them off at Sega, at Nintendo, at modern games – heck, even at us! The very first installment counts down those game series that should never have ventured outside the safe confines of their 16-bit yards and the train wrecks they become since doing so. Read about them and then head over to our forums and vent!
Considering that it’s an Olympic sport, Volleyball should be held in high regard when it comes to video games. Unfortunately, no one really paid much attention to it for a long time, at least not on the level of the NBA, NFL, and MLB. Then again, when you take games like Super Volleyball as an example of the genre, it’s no wonder people didn’t want to touch the sport. Dull and generic in every sense of the word, this is the one release that no one remembers.
Electronic Arts and New World Computing released ports of some complex and often brutally difficult PC games for the Genesis, and among their offerings was King’s Bounty. Though visually simple, give it some time and you’ll find that what it lacks in presentation it more than makes up for in depth and exploration. Some consider it to be among the best examples of the genre on the Genesis, despite the difficulty and massive password (something thankfully remedied by save states). Is it deserving of such praise?
Genesis racing fans know that the Micro Machines series can always be relied on for quality. This shines through quite brightly in Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament, which featured excellent multi-player action through its J-cart functions. It was eventually eclipsed by a sequel a year later, but that takes nothing away from this excellent game.
