The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Toy Story, released in 1995, was a movie done by Pixar, in full 3D animation. The movie became quite popular, and did well in the box office. The game came the following year, 1996, for the SNES, Sega Genesis, PC, and Gameboy. But does the game live up to the standards set by how well the movie did?
During the Genesis’ heyday, it seemed all Companies wanted was their own “Sonic,” a character to call their own and to make them lots of cash. During this period, it was a matter of “quantity” over “quality” and Aero the Acrobat is the best example of this.
Compile’s M.U.S.H.A. is often hailed as one of the best vertical shooters ever made. Indeed, few can doubt the overall quality of this game and its place in the pantheon of Genesis shmups. But is it really all it’s hyped to be? Why not read out review and find out?
Namco’s mythology-based shooter is a lot better than many give it credit for, though there are some flaws. If you’re interested in shooting Medusa heads and killing the Kraken, then you need to play this. Artemis awaits!
If ever there was a reason to buy a Sega CD, Lunar: The Silver Star was it. Although remade masterfully for the Playstation, the Sega CD version was a stunning RPG for its time and something that owners of the system could smirk about when their friends came over. This was why they had spent all that money. This was the reward for their months of suffering at the hands of poor FMV games and lackluster ports. This was the über adventure they had waited so eagerly for and it was good, damn good.
