Crüe Ball

We’re all used to licensed games, but sometimes companies work up a combination that’s more dangerous than a live wire. Who would ever have thought that mixing pinball with metal rockers Motley Crüe would actually work? The final product may not be ground-breaking, but it’s actually quite playable. Sega-16 contributor Benjamin (Dr. Feelgood) Galway gave it some serious playtime and shares his experience in his full review. You may be too young to fall in love and you may be walking the wild side, but Sega-16 will always be your home sweet home. There, did we toss in enough Motley Crüe references for ya? No? The feel free to let out a primal scream.

Duke Nukem 3D

While Duke Nukem fans calmly wait until Judgement Day (also known as the day Duke Nukem Forever is actually released), they often look back on the character’s long and storied history. When running down the laundry list of consoles and computers that saw a version of his third and most famous adventure, few people would expect to see the Genesis on that list. Yep, the ol’ girl actually saw Duke Nukem 3D released, thanks to Brazil’s Tec Toy. It may not be in the same league as the original, but you have to at least give a nod to the effort.
