The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
One of the perks of owning a Genesis was getting all the big-name SNK fighters for a third of the cost. Among the many releases was Fatal Fury 2, which was quickly gobbled up by demanding fans. Sega-16 has the complete run down on how it held up, so read our review for all the black and blue details.
Already a favorite of computer gamers, Starflight soared onto the Genesis and promptly left its stamp as one of the best games ever made for the console. True, such comments get tossed around quite a bit, but in this case, it’s more than warranted. The sheer level of freedom and sense of exploration Starflight provided was enough to keep you occupied literally for weeks. The delicate balance between action and simulation was never broken, and it was always a blast.
It seems like our readers just can’t get enough of our Genesis Power Battles series, and that makes us very happy.

Some games are hard. Not enough to frustrate, but just enough to pose a serious challenge. Other games seek to dominate you completely, and you’re feeble skills are no match for their relentless and never-ending onslaught. Sub-Terrania is one such title, and it’s a game where there’s really no middle ground. You either like it or hate it.
