Shellshock may not be groundbreaking, but its simple and entertaining gameplay offers a decent burst of enjoyment for those willing to stick around long enough. It’s a flawed but enjoyable shooter that stands apart from more serious simulation games just enough to make it stand out. If you haven’t played this one yet, give it a chance and see if it grows on you.

Cursed Knight, The
GGS Studio Creation and Broke Studios launched a franchise with The Cursed Knight, a wonderful mix of genres that delivers a solid does of old school gaming. It has charm, great presentation, and that wonderfully frustrating gameplay we all know and love. If you’re looking for a new edition to your Genesis library, look no further.
Swagman
A European exclusive, Swagman presents fun and engaging platforming action that Saturn fans will appreciate. It’s not the best game out there, but it has enough variety and creativity to keep you playing. If you’re able to find a copy for less than its high asking price, Swagman is definitely a good game to add to your Saturn library.
Rocket Panda
I’m surprised no one’s given a panda a jetpack and let him loose on the Genesis before, but the time has finally come! Rocket Panda is a great title that wraps up some solid physics-based gameplay in a cute little package. Great level variety and design, boss battles, and excellent presentation make this one a winner.
3 Ninjas Kick Back
3 Ninjas Kick Back did a decent enough job of breaking the cycle of poor licensed video games. It’s not perfect, but it won’t waste your time. The Sega CD version added a few bells and whistles to the presentation, along with a few exclusive stages, possibly making this the best version to play. If you’re looking for a solid platformer, this one is worth a look.
