We’re big fans of Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, which is the American version of the first Puyo Puyo game by shooter masters Compile. Needless to say, the sequel is well-loved too, and one never gets tired of tossing those poor little Puyos onto an unwitting foe’s side of the screen. Packed with lots of greats modes and the gameplay the series is famous for, Puyo Puyo Tsu is a Japanese exclusive that’s worth tracking down.

Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck
You’ve obviously not had enough prehistoric gaming fun, so we’re tossing another Chuck Rock review at you! This time, Chuck’s son is the star, and it soon becomes apparent that his young age and inexperience do him in. No amount of cuteness can keep his console debut from stinking like yesterday’s diapers. Son of Chuck makes a good argument for platforming Darwinism, and there’s a reason why some franchises are extinct. There! I’ve used up all my baby and prehistoric cliches, so why not just read the full review before I think of some more?
Corpse Killer (32X)
Digital Pictures sure took advantage of the CD medium. Some of the games stink, there’s no denying that. Some are still fun, in a campy sort of way. Corpse Killer is one such title. Originally released as a Sega CD game, it was cleaned up and became one of the few 32X/CD games made available. It’s cornball humor at its very best, and after laughing at just how bad the acting is, you might actually find yourself enjoying this one. If that piques your interest, we have a full review on it, so read on and see if this one is worth giving a try.
Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition
You’d think that after everything he’s been through, after all his near-death experiences with dinosaurs, Dr. Alan Grant would stay as far the hell away from remote islands as possible. Apparently, he must has some deep, subconscious attraction to them, because he keeps going back for more. In Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition, the good doctor is actually trying to save the vicious reptiles from InGen thugs. The beloved raptor also makes a return, and with new graphics and equipment, it’s a whole new adventure in the most dangerous place on Earth.
Jurassic Park (CD)
Jurassic Park CD is a decidedly different take on the franchise. Going the point-and-click route, it was a fresh experience that forced gamers to think instead of shoot, and any misstep could result in a quick death. Read on and see why there’s yet one more game that should be in your Sega CD library.
