Crüe Ball

by 0 comments

We’re all used to licensed games, but sometimes companies work up a combination that’s more dangerous than a live wire. Who would ever have thought that mixing pinball with metal rockers Motley Crüe would actually work? The final product may not be ground-breaking, but it’s actually quite playable. Sega-16 contributor Benjamin (Dr. Feelgood) Galway gave it some serious playtime and shares his experience in his full review. You may be too young to fall in love and you may be walking the wild side, but Sega-16 will always be your home sweet home. There, did we toss in enough Motley Crüe references for ya? No? The feel free to let out a primal scream.

Like big trucks? Enjoy the thrill of massive machines slamming through mud and dirt in a frenzied competition to the finish line? Then look elsewhere, as Super Off-Road isn’t the game for you. The tiny sprites and repetitive gameplay may have worked well in arcades, where pumping quarters to continue was good for business, but on the Genesis they paled compared to the greatness of racing classics like Micro Machines and OutRun.

Terminator 2: The Arcade Game

So your Menacer is collecting dust, and you’re wondering why the heck you got one in the first place. Though unlikely, it’s possible that you let Terminator 2: The Arcade Game slip under your radar. A pretty decent conversion of the arcade hit, it’s actually quite playable with Sega’s unwieldy weapon of light, and it’s quite inexpensive nowadays.
