Genesis Reviews
TMNT: Tournament Fighters
Tournament Fighters has EVERYTHING the SNES version is missing except for the gameplay, and that’s a big ”except.” I loved that Konami always made each version of a game completely different, like with TMNT: TF, Sparkster and Contra. Still, this game is definitely worth buying if only for the music!
Dick Tracy
The first project by the Sega Technical Institute was based on the extremely popular 1989 movie of the same name. It innovated by bringing multiple perspectives of action to the gameplay, and although it stumbles in the execution, it’s still a fun game for an afternoon.
Midnight Resistance
Data East’s arcade hit arrives on the Genesis with guns blazing! Lots of action and big bosses make this game one all run-‘n-gun fans should check out. Read our full review for more information.
Streets of Rage 2
The first 16-megabit game on the Genesis came in the form of a blockbuster sequel for the incredible Streets of Rage. It took everything great about the first game and pumped it up to cosmic heights, giving players a game that lives on as perhaps the greatest beat-’em-up on the console. it doesn’t get any better than this.
