It’s a solid port that has some great action, crisp visuals, and a great soundtrack.
Interview: Michael Mendheim (Mutant Football League)
Mutant Football League rose from the dead in 2017 and is currently available on Steam Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. At the 2018 Midwest Gaming Classic, we had the chance to check out the game in person, and creator Michael Mendheim was kind enough to sit down with us for an interview regarding MFL’s release and upcoming expansion.
Burning Rangers
One of the final Saturn releases was also one of its most original. Taking the action genre in a a new direction, Sonic Team had players take the role of a futuristic rescue team in a game that pushed Sega’s 32-bit hardware to its limit. Burning Rangers is both a technological achievement and a lot of fun.
Klax (Mega Drive)
Namco released a version of Klax that was a bit different from Tengen’s, with better sound and a true two-player mode, making it much more faithful to the arcade original. It only came out in Japan but should be obtainable for those puzzle fans looking for the optimal Klax experience. The ’90s may be over, but there’s still time for Klax.
