Like RPGs? Good! We’ve got a review of the one that started the entire line of Shining games.

Genesis Reviews
Captain America and the Avengers
Most super hero games turn out, well… less than good. Ah hell, let’s be honest. Most of them just plain suck. With Captain America & the Avengers, Data East took a campy, corny arcade game and brought it home pretty faithfully to the Genesis. Still, a good port of a bad game is still a bad game.
