The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Renovation took advantage of the massive storage capacity of CDs to port a few arcade laser disc games. One of the lesser-known (and weaker) of the bunch was Revenge of the Ninja. Having to share shelf space with more prominent titles like Road Avenger and Time Gal, it seems to always be forgotten… and with good reason.
So many great Mega CD titles were left behind in Japan, a sign of the times when gamers waited and prayed for prospective games to be released in the U.S. Sometimes, we were deprived of an absolute gem that was unjustly kept from our eager hands (Monster World IV comes to mind). Other times, we’re saved from a dud that would have otherwise deprived us of our hard-earned cash. Sengoku Densyo is one such title.
Virgin Games produced some quality licensed software during the 16-bit era, and it complimented hits like Aladdin and The Lion King with a great version of James Cameron’s masterpiece The Terminator. As Kyle Reese, players battle through both the present and the future in their quest to save the innocent Sara Conner from the evil cyborg out to kill her. Sega CD owners got treated to a stellar Tommy Tallarico soundtrack, extra levels, and all around solid gameplay.
We’re back with another review, this time for the Sega CD action/RPG Heimdall. Ported from the popular computer formats of the time, Heimdall struggled to adapt to a controller-based gameplay scheme. It was passed over by many a gamer, so we went back and checked if they might have missed something. Did they? Methinks thou hast best read our full review to find out!
Upon its release, the Adventures of Batman & Robin for the Sega CD was lauded for its incredible use of scaling and its exclusive cartoon animation. These are all well and good, but how did the game itself play? Well, why not read our full review and find out?
