Phantom 2040

King Feature Syndicate’s The Phantom has been delighting readers since the 1930s, and every so often the character is revamped for new audiences. One of the most recent attempts came in the form of a new cartoon series that spawned a comic book and video game. The Phantom was recast as a young man turned hero in the mid 21st century. Phantom 2040lets the player control the Ghost Who Walks in a great adventure that bears more than a few similarities to Nintendo’s Metroid. Oh, you’ve never heard of it?

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with half-naked fairies? That seems to be what people remember most about Razorsoft’s controversial title Stormlord.

Head on over to the other side then, and read our full review for all the crazy details, and hurry before I die from this hole in my soul (or before I squeeze in more Aerosmith song references).

Roar of the Beast was the first of our two-part review of Sunsoft’s Beauty and the Beast games for the Genesis, and we finish things off today with a full review of the other release, Belle’s Quest. An odd pair of platformers, the two play like a single Sunsoft title that was divided in half. We know how the first one is in terms of quality, but is the second part any better? Apparently not…
