The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Looking for another quality import fighter for your Genesis after beating the heck out of Yu Yu Hakusho: Makyo Toitsusen? You can’t go wrong with Dragon Ball Z, a series that’s all about beating the hell out of your opponent. Why, it even lets you lay the smackdown from several screens away!
Hacks & Homebrews returns today with a look at a fighter that not only surprises, but impresses. Cyclops, Goku, Muhammad Ali (you heard me), Michael Jordan, and even Ryu all battle it out against a few Neo Geo stalwarts. This is no flickering, bug-filled hack job friends. This one actually plays and sounds better than a few released fighters on the Genesis. Read the full article to get all the details.
Ok, give us an upgrade and we expect all the good stuff from before with a few tweaks, as well as some new stuff. What we don’t expect is a game that plays worse than the original, especially when it’s on more powerful hardware. Games like Brutal: Above the Claw was why the 32X was never taken seriously. When your 16-bit version plays better and is more fun, why upgrade? Still, we have a review for those of you considering a purchase anyway. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Want more fighting games? Haven’t gotten enough of SNK’s rowdy bunch of brawlers? Then maybe you need to try Fatal Fury Special for the Sega CD… or maybe not. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be, which is downright sad. You’ve probably seen this disappointment before, but just in case we’ve got you covered with our complete write up.
