The console boasts a great number of titles in this area featuring all the major characters of the era, some of which are still popular today. A few games are based on timeless characters, like the Berenstain Bears. For over forty years, the bear family has entertained children in books and on TV. Their one and only Genesis outing was suprisingly competent, and it does a decent job of holding the attention of kids over ten! While not the best platformer on the system, but it’s no stinker either.
