Disney’s Beauty and the Beast: Roar of the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, recently re-released on DVD, made a big impact on cinema back when it debuted, becoming the first animated film to win a Golden Globe award. As many a Disney franchise made the jump to the Genesis, it was a no-brainer that both the Beast and Belle would soon find themselves in 16-bit land.

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie
Go go Power Rangers! The group that has been kicking butt since 1993, and every console since then has had at least one game in the franchise. The Genesis and Sega CD got a few, including an adaptation of the popular first film. Does it do justice to the source material? You’ll have to read our full review to find out!
Sorcerer’s Kingdom
If you’re a Genesis RPG fan, you’ve probably already been through all three Phantasy Star games and beaten back everything dark in the Shining series. If you’re still looking to sharpen your blade, why not try out Treco’s Sorcerer’s Kingdom? It’s not the deepest game in the genre, but it’s a solid way to spend a Saturday, and it’s an RPG that most fans have probably overlooked.
