The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Fighting games are always fun, aren’t they? They should be, shouldn’t they? That would be the case in a perfect world, but reality is a much different story. One big kick in the shin was Electronic Arts’ Shaq Fu, which contributor VinnyT actually summoned up the courage to play. Why, he’s even gone so far as to write a review about it! See? That’s what we’re here for: we play ’em so you don’t have to!
The 32X found some light-hearted platforming action with Sega’s off-the-wall platformer Tempo. It’s colorful and completely weird, and it’s also a 32X exclusive. If you own the little mushroom and are looking for a solid platformer for it, then give Tempo a try. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll scramble to lower the volume once the cows start yodeling.
A legend returns…well, sort of. Pitfall Harry has been kidnapped, and it’s up to his son to save him. Activision brought the franchise back in a big way when they released Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure for all a multitude of systems.
Disney is well known for their great Genesis platformers, but they weren’t the only one with such skills. Believe it or not, Probe Software came remarkably close with their movie tie-in The Pagemaster.
In a bold move that pleased many fans, Sega upgraded and placed both Game Gear Shining Force games on a single disc for the Sega CD. They even went so far as to include some awesome extras, like a wonderful soundtrack and an exclusive battle! Shining Force CD is a definite purchase for strategy/RPG fans and Shining faithful alike!
