Talk about shmups to any gamer, and one company is sure to come up: Toaplan. It’s been around forever and has created some of the best games in the genre, which have virtually all found a home on one console or another. Twin Cobra arrived on the Genesis in 1991, and while it didn’t set the world on fire, it was a pretty decent play.
James Bond’s completed missions on virtually every console ever made. He only made one appearance on the Genesis, which probably has a much to do with Dalton’s mixed reception as the character as it does with mediocrity of the game itself. James Bond: The Duel isn’t a bad game; it just isn’t really a good one. Hey, that sounds a lot like what people say about Dalton’s Bond!
Air Buster, a Kaneko arcade game that also saw a great release on the Turbo Grafx-16, looks and plays great on the Genesis. As it just so happens, we have a full review for it. Two-player simulataneous gameplay for the win!

This is the true and only future for television, and Sega-16 gives you a glimpse of tomorrow with our review of the game that tells it all!
Racing is fun and all, but it’s so much better when you can beat the competition… literally! Road Rash added a great twist to the standard racing format and went on to spawn several sequels across a ton of consoles.
