The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Wonder Dog was one of the first games released for the Sega CD, and though it doesn’t really show what the hardware was capable of, it’s a competent platformer. Those who the enjoy furry mascot games of the era will love it, but those looking for something to really show what the Sega CD had to offer should look elsewhere.
Steven Spielberg’s Hook still draws mixed reaction from movie goers. The same goes for the game renditions, which were released on a ton of consoles. Most comparisons are between the Genesis and SNES versions, and while most would agree that Sega fans got the inferior of the two, that doesn’t mean that the game is unplayable or necessarily bad. In fact, it kind of grows on you. Read our full review for all the bangarang details.
Electronic Arts brought a lot of Amiga titles to the Genesis, and most of them made the transition in grand fashion. Unfortunately, not all the games were of stellar quality to begin with, and that mediocrity got ported along with the rest of the code. Zeus Software’s Risky Woods fits this description, and while it’s not a bad game, it has enough problems to keep it from being one of the better side-scrolling action titles on the Genesis.

Renovation was quite a prolific publisher during the Genesis era, and it almost single-handedly kept the space shooter (shmup) genre alive for a long time. Among its selection of quality releases was a port of the Sega CD shmup Sol-Feace, itself a conversion of the Sharp X68000 original. Despite the name change to Sol-Deace and not having the bells and whistles of the CD version, the cart rendition is more than capable of standing on its own. Read the full review for more details.
Chasing down bad guys is a video game staple. Ramming their cars into flaming husks before taking them down and slapping the cuffs on them makes it even more fun! Taito let Genesis owners play the long arm of the law in the exclusive Chase H.Q. II, and while it might not set the world on fire, it’s a game that’s worth spending some time with.
