The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
It’s a new year, and we’re kicking things off with a review of a game that’s considered a classic by many. Populous II has been released on a myriad of systems, and it’s gained a reputation as one of the most playable god sims out there. How does the Genesis version stack up?
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.
Look at how fast November has come and gone. The month God made for football is over, but we can’t let go without one last look at the sport. Our latest review gives us a sort of another interpretation, and it comes in the form of a Genesis port of the Bally/Midway arcade hit Pigskin 621 A.D. The home version got a name change due to a questionable endorsement by NFL coach Jerry Glanville. Forget the refs and the rules friends; this one is all about bringing the pain
EA Sports made things especially interesting by offering a championship version of Madden ’93, which featured some of the best teams from past NFL seasons. It’s become quite rare among collectors, and that’s a shame, as it’s great for competition among friends. We have a full review of it, so lace up and read on! All you need now are some Tostitos and some Mountain Dew, and it’s game time!
No one today doubts the massive popularity of EA’s Tiger Woods series. It’s been a juggernaut for more than a decade, going back to its console roots on the Genesis as PGA Tour Golf, and even farther back than that on computers. The first title was a massive hit, and the sequel offered more of everything without really fiddling with the formula. Was it a recipe for success or did it hit the rough?
