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.

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.
Sasha Darko’s Sacred Line
Horror-themed graphic adventures aren’t common at all on the Genesis, and Sasha Darko fills the gap with Sacred Line. It’s not perfect, but as a first effort from a one-man studio, it shows great potential. If you can get past its shortcomings, Sacred Line can offer an afternoon of horror and suspense that’s not for the faint of heart.
Pachinko Kuunyan
Pachinko has always been popular in Japan, enough so to get its own Mega Drive game! Soft Vision’s Pachinko Kuunyan took the concept and refined it to work on console, and the result is a surprisingly playable title that most gamers have unfortunately never heard of.
P.T.O. (Pacific Theater of Operations)
Koei’s excellent war simulation releases extended beyond ancient Japan and into the 20th century, spawning a franchise that lasted several console generations. P.T.O.’s robust and fun military management gave players the chance to play as either Axis or Allies and determine the fate of the world.
