The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
With Christmas over, it’s time to enjoy what’s left of vacation and get as much gaming in before the year ends. Hopefully, everyone got a nice new stack of Genesis games, a traditionally great way to spend the holiday season – when one isn’t attending to one’s family, of course. Then again, if they can be convinced to join in on the fun, all the better!
And now for something we hope you’ll really like! Well, that’s probably the sentiment that Imagineering had in mind when it programmed this title. But despite a good effort to preserve the charm of the show, the video game version of moose and squirrel plays like something Mr. Peabody left on the living room carpet.
Interestingly enough, most tennis games on the Genesis are hit or miss. There’s a bunch from which to choose, and it can often be difficult to pick the best because each of them have their strengths and weaknesses.

You’re sure to find a game you haven’t played before!
