Mortal Kombat 3
It’s hard to believe they’ve made as many Mortal Kombat games as they have, and the series seems as popular as ever. One of the most anticipated installments was Mortal Kombat III, which was released on a whole slew of consoles. The Genesis version held its own, and offered gamers another reason to piss off legislators.
After Burner Complete
Say what you want about the 32X, but there were some great games made for it. After Burner Complete is a great example of what could be done with the hardware in the right hands. Check out our full review of one of the best home versions in the series ever, and yet another reason you should reconsider getting that 32X (seriously!).
Target Earth
Nothing’s better than piloting a big, bad mech, especially since it means that you get to blow things up without mercy. Dreamworks’ Target Earth was one of the first Genesis games to bring the experience home in such style, and spawned a string of sequels.
Dune: The Battle for Arrakis
The real-time strategy genre is huge today, but back in the early 90s, consoles were only beginning to taste the addicting tactical fun they delivered. The Genesis is fortunate to be home to some of the pioneers in the genre, including Dune II: Battle for Arrakis.
