The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Electronic Arts’ NHL series is highly revered by gamers, and given the longevity it has seen (rivaled only by that of EA’s other juggernaut, the Madden games), something is obviously right with the series. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the 1994 edition of the franchise, which turned out to be the only game in the series to receive a Sega CD version. In 1994, Sports fans needed no other reason to reconsider a purchase of the add-on once this baby was released.
The early ’90s saw a flurry of console developers hopping on the 3D bandwagon. As games like Electronic Arts’ Block Out demonstrate, sometimes adding an extra dimension isn’t a good idea. Read our full review and do yourself a favor, stick with Tetris.
One of the first space shooters to grace the Genesis (and certainly one of the first third party shooters) was Electronic Arts’ Battle Squadron. As challenging as it was hard, the game offered up some great two-player simultaneous action, and many consider it a favorite to this day.
Bill Walsh passed away last year at age at seventy-five, leaving behind three Super Bowl victories and two college bowl championships at Standford University. Quite the Hall of Fame career, one would think, but as impressive as coaching Joe Montana to three rings may be, it pales in comparison to having your own Genesis game! Electronic Arts immortalized Walsh in gaming with the stellar and imaginatively named Bill Walsh College Football for multiple consoles.
Platforming and run-‘n-gun action usually mix like chocolate and peanut butter, but sometimes the mix isn’t as smooth as it should be. Instead of fusing together to create a great gaming experience, the two gameplay dynamics can occasionally clash, with the result being a game that seems full of missed potential. Is Electronic Arts’ B.O.B. the former or the latter?
